Blessings Day 304: I met with my fear counsel/council this morning. We decided to let myself have two specific fears before breakfast today. Meaning give it a soft space of acknowledgment, don’t push it away.
Then again before breakfast, I met further with my fear counsel/council – the wise elders who know a thing or two about fear. The counsel I received was to take action on three things. I did. Then finally I had breakfast!
It wasn’t so scary after all, it was pretty clean cut and meeting one of those fears gave me so much encouragement about next steps. Thank you fear council, I couldn’t have done this without you today.
If I ignore that fear, it’s still in the driver’s seat, it’s got me by the proverbial balls anyway. I can say yes to fear, let it have its say, and it has a lot to teach me about who I am being in the world at the deepest levels and even more, how I can lean into it, instead of running from it.
“All any feeling wants is to be welcomed with tenderness. It wants room to unfold. It wants to relax and tell it’s story.” From Women, Food, and God by Geneen Roth.
Namaste, Hearts! Reading your post made me think of how we each struggle with developing and maintaining our identity. At times, there are pieces which we attempt to keep hidden rather than letting them shine through as bright lights to ourselves and others. Emotions and fears are examples of such pieces. The great thing is about us humans is that we get to create who we are. We can create ourselves until our hearts are completely content! I have written a book entitled “Becoming Human” available at Amazon Kindle. It is about this very concept. Check it out! Best wishes in your life creation!
Mazel tov on your book, reiacruz…wishing you much success and many blessings!
