People do change, and things can change, once we correct the negative
thinking that keeps us stuck in a fearful mindset. Once we believe that
change is a possibility, and we come from a mindset of love for ourselves
and empathy for all that we have endured, we immediately make a shift
from feelings of fear to an abundance of love.
When I am faced with a harsh reality that brings fear, I feel like I want
to run as far and as fast as my legs will take me to avoid the pain of a
situation I do not want to face. Instead, I breathe into it slowly, deeply,
and steadily. I observe the feeling, and I do not give in. I acknowledge the
feeling, and then I choose, mindfully, in that moment, a response that is the
opposite of fear. I keep myself engaged calmly, confidently, and constructively,
one moment at a time. I allow myself the space to grow and find
resolve, rather than hiding from the truth, however painful.
The truth is always calm. Untruths are a cacophony of noises trying to
mask the calm for fear of the truth. That is when we must face ourselves, if
we are brave. Here is where our awakening begins.
Feeling a strong emotion that suddenly triggers a response, such as
fear, is our invitation to feel it all the way through, sit with it, process
it for as long as it takes, and release it when we feel we are ready (and
not a moment before). Use it for enlightenment, healing, and moving
forward. Reframe. This is how we uncover the fear that we don’t realize
is deep within. It is a spiritual call for change. Recognize the feeling in
the moment and identify it. This is an opportunity to deepen our faith, to
experience freedom, and to be fearless in experiencing our experiences.
Fear is an unhealthy habit. The secret to breaking this habit is a fourletter
word: L.O.V.E.
Letting Our Vulnerability Emerge!
Here is where we become completely naked with absolutely no apologies
for how we present.
Vulnerability is born on a spiritual path where you are certain you are
supported, guided, and loved by the Universe. This heightens your faith
in feeling free to divorce from the ego, which fuels fear. Extinguish the
ego with L.O.V.E. for Ego is not connected to Spirit. Show ego the way
to love.
Journaling:
Ask yourself these questions:
“What is the worst that could happen if I do not try to control the
outcome of this situation?”
“What action would serve me best in this moment?”
“What could I say “No” to that would alleviate my anxiety and
offer me peace? “What could I say “Yes” to that would enhance
my wellness?”
“What do I need in this moment, or in this situation, to provide
me with peace/wellness? How can I move towards that goal? Go
back to the S.W.I.M. method in Chapter 6 to re-read, edit, add, or
begin again to implement the steps of this program through your
own awareness.
