December 23 … Facing Fear
Take a few moments to recognize and then list your three (3) most potent fears (e.g. death, abandonment, ridicule, pain, poverty, etc.) … Then, choose to remember that those fears are not only irrational, but that they also only truly exist in the hypothetical future – never in the concrete Here&Now … After you have vividly remembered that fact, next envision a situation from your past where you were confronted by one of those same fears. Do so while “rewriting the script” of that memory; making it an emPowering vision of triumph over that fear instead of a terrifying succumbing to the same.
Bonus Activity: Find ways to actively face each of your fears; seeing that fears are only that – fears. While doing so please remember that the more courageously a particular fear is faced, the more completely it will be cleansed from your system. In addition, please note while doing so that fearlessness does not mean recklessness. If you have a fear of being eaten by sharks, going swimming in the ocean is enough to face it. You do not have to cut yourself before going into the water … Peace.
