Face Your Fears

Morning Mantra: "Fear controls you so it's time to face it."

What are you afraid of?  Stop for a second and write down something you are afraid of that is holding you back.  Now, write down ways you can over it.  It doesn't have to be well thought out, just get started.

For me it's always been to be seen as "less than". And snakes. I'm terrified of snakes. Because of this fear I have spent my life chasing things to make me appear beautiful, successful and "enough".  Then one day I realized that I couldn't keep it up and decided I needed to address this fear.  To face it and find out what was behind it.

I started to see that my fear was based in rejection.  If I was "enough" I wouldn't be rejected.  But wait, I had busted my butt all my life to be enough and I still had many times that I was rejected.  It dawned on me that the only person I needed to be good enough for was me.

If I accepted myself- flaws and all- I didn't need outside acceptance to feel good enough.  It was a difficult and life changing process but I no longer fear rejection.

What is holding you back, or maybe you're like me and it's driving you to exhaustion?  It's time to stop letting it control your life.  To free yourself from the grip of fear.  

Facing your fears can be scary, but you know what it even scarier? Allowing fear to stop you from growing, progressing and living your life on your own terms.
