CALMING MY FEARS

Anxious moments appear sometimes seemingly out of nowhere.  Suddenly I feel overwhelmed by fear of rejection, fear of inadequacy, fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment, fear of being hurt, fears pop out of the closet like boogey men to haunt me.  I have learned to slow down rather than run away, to breathe and recognize what my inner child is trying to tell me is needed.  Something is happening that is being interpreted as a threat, if I can calm myself I will be able to shift through my experience to figure out what is needed.  Perhaps I need to be reminded that I am enough or reassured that I am safe, maybe I need to set a boundary or give myself permission to take a risk. 
Today, I will take my time and move at my own pace.  I will acknowledge my fears and allow them to inform me of what is required.  I will nurture and accept myself, appreciating my feelings and needs.  I choose to stand confidently  and courageously rooted in this day, breathing and being.
