Over the last few weeks, I’ve given you a glance into how fear doesn’t have to always be negative. In fact, fear can be a gift.
How can that be? How can fear feel like a good thing?
Let’s revisit the essential messages from the last few weeks:
- You have all the answers you need
Fear teaches us to listen.
Hearing the truth is all about being ready to receive the truth. Here’s how:
- Remember to Let Go Of Fear. It only blocks and distorts the answer. Take a breath, let it go.
- Remember to Be Grateful. Gratitude immediately shifts our energy to a vibration of receiving.
- Remember to Surrender & Trust— Unplug from it all—emails, to-do lists, phones, kids, spouse, boss. Be in a place to LISTEN.
Stop—Shift To Gratitude—Ask—Listen—Trust—Receive
2. Facing fear gives us courage.
In my career, fear was a daily feeling. Your fear is probably no different.
Left unattended or repressed, fear will emerge through our autonomic nervous system – causing fatigue and paralyzing our ability to think coherently.
We become afraid of our inner feelings because they hold such a massive amount of negativity that we fear we would be overwhelmed by it if we were to take a deeper look.
We can become imprisoned by our fear if we do not face it.
One of the most empowering practices I’ve found to releasing fear and really overcoming it – is to face it. To really feel it.
And once I did, I began to feel something else that was really amazing: the feeling of fear releasing me from its grips.
Fear is a powerful gift, if it is received.
- Fear can empower you
Here are some ways that you can use the power of your own fear to transform your life:
- Be a Witness of Your Fear. To minimize the harmful effects of Fear on the body and mind, you have to first be aware of it.
- Be aware and know your fear response. How does fear feel for you? Is it physical or emotional? What are those specific responses?
- Release the Energetic Charge of Fear. Simply let the feeling be there and focus on letting out the energy behind it.
- Feel the Fear to Release The Fear. Let those feelings arise, feel them without backing down, and then breathe them out.
- Asking better questions creates less fear.
Want to be more successful in any area of your life?
Ask better questions.
Instead of asking…
- Why did this happen to me?
- Why does this always happen?
- Why do I wake up every day tired and drained?
- How can I just keep my head above water…getting by?
- How come I can never lose weight or save money?
Ask…
- What do I love about my life right now?
- What am I grateful for?
- What am I could I really be excited about right now?
- What am I really proud about accomplishing?
- What do I really want to do with my life?
How does that feel?
These questions empower and inspire us to find and create our purpose, and our joy.
