When Fear Comes Knocking, Don't Open The Door.


This means you don’t have to give into the feelings and thoughts of fear when it presents itself. Instead, you can push through those thoughts and feelings and still do what you need to do and not be stopped. The question isn’t will fear come, it’s when will it come. You’ll always have an opportunity to entertain fear but what if I told you, you didn’t have to. Just because it presented itself doesn’t mean we have to oblige. We are often presented with different opportunities in life but that doesn’t mean we dived right into them. You should have the same mindset when dealing with the issue of fear. It’s no different. We can’t always control what comes into our life, but we can control how we deal with it. Will we be dominated and overcome by the situation or will we be intentional about surviving it and coming out on top of it. In the same way, we must be intentional about not being ruled by fear and recognize when it shows up. Maybe you are entering into new phase of your life, the unknown where everything is different. Maybe you are facing things that are new and a bit intimidating and out of your comfort zone. These situations and others, create opportunities for fearful, self-defeating talk that plague and attack your mindset because it’s unfamiliar territory. Whatever area of fear you are dealing with, you must intentionally and deliberately take control of your thoughts. When fear comes in the form of debilitating thoughts telling you, you can’t do something or feelings of fear or even negative imagination, you must be intentional about resisting those thoughts, feelings, emotions and negative imagination by thinking and declaring on purpose positive affirmations about yourself and the situation. Envision yourself doing whatever you are fearful or afraid of doing and do it afraid. Those positive affirmations and declarations you speak out loud and intentionally think about are reprogramming your subconscious and flushing out the negative thoughts with positive new ones. Before you know it, you’ll automatically be thinking and living in this new way without much effort to do it. In that moment when you are battling  negative thoughts, feelings and imagination, you may still be afraid so just do it anyway. Just because you feel fear doesn’t mean that feeling has to stop you from whatever you need to face. Do it afraid if that’s where you are and eventually you won’t be fearful as you overcome that situation by facing it over and over again. The more you face whatever you’re fearful about, the stronger you get to face it the next time and before you know it, you’re not fearful about it anymore. What was uncomfortable becomes normal for you.

Self-care: What Have You Done For Fun Lately?

Image
  Hey There! What have you done for fun lately? I know we are living in unprecedented times with COVID and everything that comes with this historic pandemic. I know many are out of work, feeling heavy financial straint, dealing with various challenges and are hard pressed to the limit. I know it’s not a fun time for many and that’s definitely true. In spite of these REAL devastating realities many are facing, your self-care should never be put on hold. There should be no time out for self-care. Setting aside intentional time to do something fun and enjoyable for yourself is apart of your self-care package. I believe things that are fun, enjoyable and that puts you at ease and help you to unwind and refresh yourself, should be things that we schedule into our time daily or weekly. Maybe for you it’s taking a nap, reading a book, taking a walk, eating some ice cream (don’t go overboard), journaling, talking with friends, having a nice bubble bath, playing golf, watching a movie or yo...

An Effective Way To Overcoming Fear

Image
Simply put, get to the root of it. If you don't deal with the root, it will keep producing fruit in your life. Your symptoms and behaviors won't change. Your thought process around fear won't change. Look at why the issue of fear became a real situation in your life. Examine when this fear started? When it was planted? What event or situation created this path of fear in your life? Go back to the origin of this fear and how it was able to take root. It's important to go back to the beginning of it, so you could identify deeper rooted things that fuel your fears. Fear doesn't begin with fear. Something deeper is giving room for fear to take place. Traumatic situations often create the perfect scenario to interject fear in your life. For me, experiencing abandonment and rejection allowed fear to take root in my life at a very early age. This process often happens in such an unconscious way that before we become alert to the changes in ourselves, it has already created...
