In my research I found this quote by Lisa Martin, a fellow coach and founder of Reflexion Coaching:
"Fear can be broken down into three categories: real (healthy), imagined (thought-based) and worry. Although fear can get in your way by interfering with your hopes, dreams and desires; fear is not always a bad thing. Admitting you’re afraid of something can be quite enlightening. It gives you a chance to assess what is holding you back."My first reaction was less than complimentary. In my mind FEAR is NEVER healthy. As a rule, I'm not into "absolutes" however, this one is appropriate. I do, however, agree wholeheartedly with one statement in the quotation. "Admitting you’re afraid of something can be quite enlightening. It gives you a chance to assess what is holding you back."
I recognize that we as human beings as a result of race consciousness have learned behaviors which express themselves as fear. However in truth all FEAR is thought-based. And regardless of the level of intensity it blocks you from expressing the Truth of you and from bringing into manifestation the good that is yours to receive.
Recognizing fear at work.
Most fears are outcome-based. In other words, the thought of the fear is attached to an end result or how things may turn out. Three of our most common fears, that of the unknown, rejection and failure, are all are deeply connected to outcome. The most pervasive form of fear is worry.
Fear Depletes Energy.
So, when you find yourself becoming tired, listless, uncommunicative, etc. etc. etc. It's time to release fear. When you detach from the outcome you release the fear and give yourself the opportunity to move forward along your path.
When fear raising its head, make a close assessment. Understand its source and form a plan to deal with it. Look at the risk of the outcome versus the benefit of the action of which you are afraid.
Make a commitment for the next 30 today's:
Today I will practice releasing and/or ignoring most of my fearful thoughts and worry.
Gently and lovingly, but firmly, push them away. "This is no longer true for me..." is a wonderful affirmation. As they return, push them away again. With a little practice you’ll find life is more enjoyable in all its aspects.
In His Service,
Rob
