Are You Running Away From Your Fear?

Your success accelerates and happiness blooms when you let go of fear and the ego’s grasp. Fear subtly whispers what if the worse happens. It can have you look calm or cheerful, but inside quiet trepidation runs like a persistent, low grade fever. It can breed a full-blown panic humbling you to beg a divine power for help – hoping/doubting if anyone is listening to your prayers or wondering if they’ll bother to answer them. Fear can masquerade as anger, frustration, pain, avoidance, blaming, complaining, feeling like a victim, sadness, apathy, bullying, guilt, rescuing, suffering as well as every facet of unhappiness. Fear creates lack of clarity and direction while triggering procrastination or immobilizing you from taking action, dreading that you’ll make a mistake and then you-know-what will hit the fan. Although miserable to experience, these outcomes provide a compelling distraction from looking at the culprit – your underlying fear. However, just like in the Wizard of Oz when the curtain was pulled back, there’s nothing substantive to fear. Fear is only a scary story in your head. You can more effectively deal with real issues when you’re not emotionally clouded. You continue to attract unwanted circumstances until you stop running away from your fear, let it go and see it for what it is: a no-thing. You only attract what you can handle, so there’s no reason to fear anything.  When you stop thinking and talking about your problems as if you’re in a Stephen King novel, you stop generating your real-life, horror stories. FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real. The ego will lead you to believe that you’ll have more pain if you look at your fear. However, it’s the embellished, painful narratives of what horrible fate might happen in the future or remembering what happened in the past that snags you. When you focus on the past and future, you bypass present time, and this is where your personal empowerment dwells. How can you know if you’re doing this? Listen to your own stories. What’s the timeline – past, present or future? Ego will play you like a fiddle – directing your attention to what you don’t have (like enough money, time, love, health, direction or success), past and future worries, anywhere but the Now. If you allow yourself to look at your inner bogeyman, with an intention of letting it go, you’ll find freedom. Ask for your inner spirit to shine your courage so you can let go of fear and find the tools and support to release what’s holding you back. You can begin now: Be willing to let go. Ask for help – inwardly and outwardly. Journal to bring clarity and with the intention of letting go. Open to receive a life and business that exceeds your wildest expectations. When you feel afraid you give your power away. Choose to take it back. If you don’t get this job or deal, you can get another. If one way doesn’t work, it’s not the end of the world. Another can be even better. (By the way, I used to be a master at making mountains out of molehills, so I know how much anxiety, pain and self-destruction this habit generates.) No person, circumstance, financial condition, politician, economic outlook, industry predictions, threats, doctor’s diagnosis, the past or unknown future can affect you unless you let it. Dwelling on fear or what doesn’t work is emotional quicksand that sabotages your success. A woman told me about a dream she had with a ferocious lion. Instead of running away, she walked toward it and through it. It had no substance. You pay a high price for letting fear run your life. Drama. Stress. Challenging relationships. Attracting more fear than money. Confusion. Unconsciously repelling business. Poor health. A life that doesn’t feel like it’s worth living. You can change now. Make a decision that instead of listening to the nagging, fear-based story in your head, and judging yourself for having it, you’ll focus on what you choose and what’s working. Results? You’re happier. Your business and finances grow. You attract love from all the right places. Your health improves. You’re worth it.

I work with people who choose to share their gifts or business in a BIGGER way but don’t know how, feel stuck or would benefit from new tools or support. I help them ignite their Soul’s goals and be richly compensated doing what they love. Copyright © 2017 Resolved for Results, All rights reserved.
