Topics of empowerment always grab my attention because I know that feeling victimized and out of control is no way to live.
In fact, since stress is such a killer, if we are chronically overwhelmed and ill at ease, we will not live a long life and at best, certainly if we do our life will not be of a high quality.
So, since I highly value peace of mind and good health, I made it my business to get to the root of my dis-ease. I started to notice that I had this companion hanging around my life that did not support me, that put me down and seemed to cause me to miss opportunities that could have created more abundance and adventure in my life.
It seemed to follow me wherever I went, and though it felt familiar, it did not seem to have my best interest at heart. Why would you ask, did I allow such a companion to hang out with me? Good question. As soon as I started to realize this, I began to make it my business to cut the ties and figure out how to get rid of it.
Who or what was this companion? It is fear. We can get so attached to fear that it becomes our familiar way of traveling through life. Fear, or Fictitious Evidence Creating Reality, it is the story that we wire into our brains that life is unsafe, full of suffering and lack and that is just “the way it is”.
Notice I say “fictitious”; we are making it all up.
Can life have physical threat and dangers? Of course, events happen. But this is not the general rule or else you would probably not be alive to read these words. I assume you are more than 5 years old.
The average man or woman lives around 75 years or so. How is it that we use up those years suffering and afraid to get out of our box? The main reason is that we do not know how our brain and minds work, and we take in the outdated beliefs of those who arrived here before us and we think that these beliefs are the Truth of the entire Universe.
Actually, there is so much disagreement in the world because everyone chooses or hangs on to their given set of beliefs. So, apparently there are an awful lot of different “Truths” out here. Fear, which is just based in ignorance, can ruin your hopes, dreams and aspirations.
The more you deny your feelings of fear the less likely you will be able to breakthrough them and drop the drama in your life. Also, others will be able to manipulate you easier when you come from a place of insufficiency.
It can be challenging to dump fear, as it is what most people are use to feeling. Your subconscious is trying to keep you in your familiar zone because you programmed it with the thoughts and feelings that you were taught.
Want better relationships, more money, and better health? Life does not have to be full of self-doubt and suffering. The way out is through the door of rewriting the fictitious evidence affecting your reality – fear. Are you interested in re-writing the story line of your life?
