FEAR
Better known as false evidence appearing real! We all have it from time to time.
Fear is like a robber. It robs us of peace of mind and being truly present for ourselves and those we love.
Fear can immobolize our efforts. Where in your life are you experiencing fear? e.g. in a relationship, business, etc.? On a scale from 1-10; 10 being the highest. Where would you rate yourself? Then answer the following statement. My biggest fear is that.... Check in with yourself is this true for you? Is the fear rational or irrational?
I love the phrase, "When in doubt, check it out." By simply sharing with someone you trust, you can reduce your fear to pint size which is much more manageable.
A close friend of mine just called saying, "what should I do my boss is taking me for lunch and I know our company isn't thriving right now?" He quickly went into the worst case scenario of what might happen. He wanted to do all this major preparation however he didn't even know what the reason was for his boss taking him to lunch. Ever push the panic button and assume the worst? We then went on to talk about whether he was letting his fear drive him or whether he CHOSE to be in a place of positive possibility. He was able to replace his fear with faith that everything would work out better than he ever could have imagined. He was proactive by calling me versus sitting in his fear and letting it have unnecessary power over his thoughts and emotions.
When fear appears in your life, other options include remaining in a place by breathing deeply, choosing positive thoughts and remaining in a place of calmness. A simple affirmation, "I am calm, I am enough, I am worthy" will insulate you from unnecessary negativity. Lastly, surround yourself with people who energize, support and nurture your spirit for they will feed your faith that everyone you meet is here to support your powerful journey!
