WALKING THROUGH FEAR

Nothing cripples nor immobilises more than fear. Fear keeps us prisoner to ourselves. Fear traps us in a cage of false understanding from which we can only flee when we have properly identified the fear.

We all experience fear and anxiety; but how many of us have ever spent the time writing about our fear and fully understanding what it represents. In essence, fear is only an emotion that does not exist in reality. Many of our fears are conditioned from negative childhood experiences or from other traumas which we dread to re-enact. The beliefs that these conditionings create need to be dismantled, because whilst the feeling of fear is real, it is generally not based on truth.

Once we have identified our fears, by writing about them in the most candid way possible, we are capable to start the process of addressing and disempowering our fears. Fear is dismantled over time by having the courage to take necessary action or to walk straight through it every time it manifests. Rather than trying to avoid the fear by numbing ourselves with mind altering substances, we need to consciously step right into the heart of the fear, to realise that over time it doesn't actuallyexist.

The more often we do this, the more we start to change our thinking and to create new neural pathways to more effective thought.

Like the "firewalkers" who walk barefoot through beds of red-hot coals unscathed, "firewalk" your fears and take back the power that is rightfully yours. Don't allow your life to be compromised by being passive about something you can change by taking charge progressively over time.

Always choose to be MORE!
