FEAR
Even the very word can have you running for the hills, or rooted to the very spot where you last found yourself.
A jelly "without" the wobble!
Fear is however a natural and actually very useful reaction to percieved threat - without which you could find yourself in some very sticky and actually unpleasant situations!
We learn as children our own FEAR response..
You may have heard that we are like sponges as children - this is so true and can actually shape who you are as an adult.
What was "your" template or role model..?
Mine was an emotionally co-dependant mother and an emotionally numb father ...still we live and learn , or do we?
In todays current climate there is a huge FEAR factor involved?
What defines fear for you?
The loss of economic security?
The loss of daily structure
The dread around being "stuck" in that dead end job that - ok - might pay the bills (just) but fills with you the jitters on the Monday morning ..even worse on the Sunday night
DAMN its still the weekend - Eastenders Omnibus over, Roast dinner polished off - may if your feeling in the true spirit of things a few beers at the local?
What next? WORK , WORK , WORK
Comes out of the blue, like a monster juggernaut careering into view - lights blazing, engine roaring a "gentle" reminder that in fact you have to start getting ready for work !
Is this how you want to live?
Change is enevitable and is constant - It is my belief that we can crash through these self created barriers that hold us back from what we really want to achieve and be !....and not be tied to that Monday morning feeling of dread.....do you want to change your job?
FEAR -
F = False
E = Evidence
A = Appearing
R - Real
A reaction to a past event that has been catapulted into the hazy now and thrown forward into the future ....and then suddenly : my life is a mess, I cant cope, everything is awful
I HATE MY LIFE!!
Hang on , steady yourself and take a step back...
Deep breath ...
WHAT are you scared off?
WHO gave you this idea?
WHAT positive purpose is there to feeling this?
WHAT could it be like if you werent feeling this?
Could it be that your FEAR just isnt true....
I would challenge you to challenge yourself ....allow yourself to be curious rather than scared, empowered rather than rooted to the spot, go up to the wall of fear and smash it up!
You know your worth it!!
