is as if all those fears of yours (and other people’s fears) go on the stage of
your life, and you are rehearsing that precious life through your fears. Fear can stop
you in your tracks…afraid to take any action at all, and can be both dangerous,
and/or a self fulfilling prophesy. As you start to rehearse your power instead,
and your trust, and unravel the stories that you tell, that keep you either
stuck, or empowered; you will see that there are treasures there, down in the
dark, deep well of your fear. You will find answers that empower you in present
time…to expose the fear, learn from it, and then act anyway, as a wiser version
of you in present time. There are gifts there for you, as you look deep within,
that can help empower you in present time. Sometimes you need to act regardless,
even with fear. Courage is having fear, and doing it anyway.
Remember that the stories that you tell yourself about your life,
and your abilities, and about others, can keep you very stuck, and in past time,
and in fear of taking action. Those stories are what you get to experience, over
and over. It is the you in present time that has any power to act, and who you
are in present time is more powerful than any story that you tell about your
life, to yourself, or others. You have choice. Notice your thoughts, notice what
stories you tell others. Choose wisely. A good phrase to remember here
(especially when you catch yourself speaking from disempowering and stuck in the
past stories) is “up until now”.
"I've let my old pictures of scarcity control my life....up until now!"
What treasures can you learn from those past fear based stories?
What can you reclaim what can you salvage, and learn from? Can you overhaul one
of your stories, with compassion, and forgiveness, and love? Did you leave any
of your energy, or any of your power there, your life force, that you can pull
back, and recycle into this present moment? Breathe it back into you, commanding
it from the past, into you, into you now. Take your time here. What does that
feel like in your body? Your mind? Your heart?
How can you show up with more compassion, power, or love
(love is the opposite of fear),
and change the stories you tell, and start to rehearse your future in
love, wisdom, and power instead? Try that for a moment. What does that feel like
in your body? Your mind? Your heart?
All the work that we do now will show up later as a success, just
as what you have now was created step by step along the way. Sometimes it is
hard to see, just the way Spring happens under the ground, as the earth thaws,
and the sun returns. There are signals, which start the new growth. In the same
way, the healing you have done on yourself last year, all the decluttering, the
healthy choices, in body, mind and spirit, which released the layers of fear, and
made it safe to love more. Now you can create your life from this new paradigm.
Fill your stories with more love, and less fear.
Your past stories, your present stories, and your future stories. Start with your thoughts, and the stories in your head. It’s now.
It’s safe now.
