Email: How can I avoid fears, problems all the time? (Georgia)
Way back, I preferred avoidance! Wanted everything to be easy, served on silver platter (work, home). All of us want such a life, awesome! However fears, problems are absolutely inevitable, allow it to flow. When it happens, creatively overcome it as soon as possible with baby steps, don’t stop. Nothing that can’t be resolved to cope, thrive.
If unresolved, becomes 3 folds. Sense of achievement we’ve conquered pain, struggles. Greater belief in our energy, abilities, opportunities for expansion. No regrets. Many different ways for prompt actions. Of course, depending on problems, isn’t always easy. Exactly what makes a great challenge! Face calmly, creatively, compassionately, honestly, realistically.
Sometimes, we actively try to find problems where there’s none. Honestly ask self, is there really a problem here? Life’s become stressful, we can make mountains out of molehills. Ask – what is good, what can I learn? What hidden gift, lesson can I find?
So important to believe, balance, trust selves (mind, intuition). When we’ve hit rock bottom, only one way to go – up! Fears are to mind what exercise is to body. Strength, wisdom, resilience, kindness blooms. Seek support. What passionately inspires? Our thoughts create our reality. So simple, humble, positive affirmations work wonders.
A nurturing, accepting, forgiving attitude towards selves helps us stay in the game. Dynamic experiences, cycles of life – trying, succeeding, failing, learning, risking, trying again. Only way to develop lasting faith, will, humility, purpose, confidence.
