A technique for facing your fears

I’ve never been one to enjoy scary movies, or people jumping out at me and yelling boo. I don’t like campfire ghost stories, dystopian storylines, or creepy things that go bump in the night. In general, I don’t like the feeling of fear and won’t put myself in the position of creating or listening to manufactured fear.

Now, I wasn’t born with fear, and neither were you. Often the deep-rooted emotional responses in us aren’t even ours. They’re ones we’ve internalized from watching someone else.

Our energy system doesn’t begin to mature until around age 7, so until that time, we literally believe anything we experience as something that’s true for us. When facing your fear, the first question to ask yourself, “Is this my fear, or someone else’s? Is this the fear of my parent, or partner?”

If the fear belongs to someone else, you don’t have to keep it. See it for what it is—a learned response and drop it like a child drops a toy it no longer wants.

Then make a list of your remaining fears. Decide how realistic each fear is. If it’s a real concern based on your life facts, circle it. If the fear is unrealistic, cross it off the list.
 Take the remaining fears one by one, and list real things you can do today to protect yourself and create the life you want. Then take action. Ask for help if you need it. Don’t let your fears keep you from fully living your life.

And as always,  I’m available for private or group sessions if you need deeper understanding, support, or guidance through energy work or intuitive life coaching.
