MANAGING FEAR

Some days fear takes my breath away as I struggle to keep moving forward.  What is it that is creating this feeling?  Do I fear rejection, failure, abandonment, making a mistake or being inadequate, looking like a fool, being out of control or feeling overwhelmed, so many fears circle the tent of my wellbeing.  Patiently and tenderly, I will speak words of reassurance to the scared child within me. 

·        You are loved and accepted. 
·        There is enough resource in the room right now and you can
       always ask for help if you need it.
·        It’s okay to take risks and learn from your experiences.
·        You can take one moment at a time and in this moment there 
       is no danger.
·        You are adequate and have a history of perseverance,  
       determination and success.
·        Everyone is afraid at times, what will help you feel safer right
       now.

Today I will breathe, feel my feet on the floor, and take another step forward trusting my journey is unfolding.
