So a couple of days ago I talked about a fear involving doing a cat back from a wall. Well with that same wall, came a different fear. For my fear challenge, I was going to do a tic tac back onto the platform I jumped from.
Just to briefly go over the move, a tic tac is a move that involves you coming at a wall in one direction, putting your foot on the wall, then propelling yourself to go in another direction. In this case, I was going to jump at the wall, put my foot on the wall, then propel myself backwards on the 3 foot high platform I jumped off of.
I was training myself into this fear by taking on the move on ground surface. I was able to do the move very easily on the ground, so I felt confident enough to do the technique on a higher surface. However, after training this move for nearly an hour I still did not develop the courage to commit to the move. I ended up not overcoming this challenge, marking my first failed attempt in this 365 fear challenge.
Although I am disappointed from this failure I am not discouraged. I am going to try to successfully do this move by the end of this month. What I felt caused me to fail was approaching the fear with the wrong mindset. I tried to go at the clear mind approach but that only caused me to mess up the technique. I feel if I approached this move by belittling the fear I can not only assure I go at it with a proper technique, but also be able to overcome the fear. I am hoping to overcome this fear soon.
