8 of 30: Ever get scared of having conversations or bringing up specific topics with people? EP 139

This morning was a weird one. I was carrying this nervous energy with me. Some people would call it, waiting for the shoe to drop, some people would call it anxiety, I often refer to it as nervousness. In my breath work and meditation this morning I discovered it was all rooted in fear. I have a couple of things I need to talk to my boss and my wife about and I’m worried I might not get what I want or I’m might get some pushback. Some of you know, one of my favorite 12 step fellowships is called ACA, adult children of alcoholics and dysfunction. Something they talk quite a bit about is this fear of authority figures. These can be our parents, bosses, the police, family members or even our spouses. Even when I don’t need to, I’ll armor up and get defensive when I’m talking to these people in my life. And you better believe that when I’m not in my right mind, boy do I create some conflict. Most of the time, I’m the creator of my own problems. However I love blaming you for it! One of the biggest symptoms of this behavior is procrastination. For me, I’d like to put things off as long as possible. Yet today, I’ve made a list, I’ve done my spiritual work, and I’m going to have a conversation with as little expectation as possible. This my friends is the gift of consistent self-reflection. I don’t always do it, but when I do, man is my life much more manageable. If you know someone that would benefit from hearing this message, be sure to share it with them.
