How I Move Through Fear And Find My Way Back To Safety
When you’re feeling afraid, ask yourself - what is the story I’m telling myself here?
I recently found myself in a knot of fear. Contracted in my mind, twisted in my body, my soul feeling out of reach.
When I asked myself this question, I realized the story I was telling myself was that I WOULD FAIL.
Not even that I might fail, but actually a decision that I would indeed.
Interesting, considering there is so little evidence to point to my life being one of failure.
So I got curious…
Who does this story belong to?
I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but I knew it wasn’t mine.
It felt like something ancestral, something embedded in my DNA.
But if you know anything about epigenetics, just because you’re wired for something, doesn’t mean it needs to be true for you in this lifetime.
I breathed through that…
“This fear isn’t mine I said.”
I moved (literally moved my body), through the physical and emotional discomfort. And within minutes, my breath started to deepen and my body loosen.
What if I succeed?
What if this is my next spiritual assignment - how do I want to show up for it?
What if I get to choose my outcome vs feel like its been predetermined for me?
And suddenly, the excitement set in.
Visions of what is possible came pouring through my imagination, so much so I felt them tickling my body, lighting me up.
There she is.
The woman in me who knows better.
And that’s my process folks.
I name it. I give myself intentional time to feel it (literally a few minutes). And I let it take new shape.
Try this on and let me know what it does for you. x
With love,
