I don’t know about you , but I am still working on this statement. Not every day but it keeps pulling me back. It is easy to gloss over things and not really get to the heart of it. But then our lives will reflect that….
So this morning when I sat with this thought, “I am ready to move forward in my life”, I could still feel anxiety around it. I started to do more detective work. What is it I am really so afraid of?
I found out that I am afraid I will be overwhelmed if I “move forward”. I am afraid of “the unknown”. I have a fear that I could “lose control”….be cast into “unknown waters.”
Wow! NO wonder I feel anxiety when I say that statement! And if I am feeling that way (which obviously I am) how could I move forward in my life….in any area?
As I continue to look at each of these statements, it is easy to see that they are all fear based. It makes me realize that there is a part of me that does not trust the goodness of life. It makes me think of when I was in college and we were studying Calvanism and the view that we humans were like insects being held over a boiling pot of water and could be dropped in any minute!! At least that is how my mind remembers that…..terrifying.
So why do I share this with you? Because I think that you and I are the same in many ways. I think that you probably have similar fears. Perhaps not around this statement or these particular ones…..but you have your own. And until we ferret them out, they control us.
This is why I have been drawn back again and again. I am making progress. I will continue my ‘sluething’ and releasing these fears. I use tapping (EFT), journaling, meditation, Reiki, yoga, chanting, Byron Katies, The Work……and more, to shift these old patterns and beliefs….that KEEP me from moving forward.
I would love hear you comments on how you are making progress with this statement…..we are amazing with where we already are! Just think of how we will light up the world when we truly release this fear!
As always much love and many blessings…..m
