Turning Fear Around

Think about entering a new situation. To meet that situation, imagine that you received an extra burst of energy, your senses sharpened, and there was a tingling, an excitement in your body, and you became more sensitive and aware.

Doesn't that sound great? The very thing we need to do our best in a new situation! Well, its precisely what DOES happen each time we enter a new situation. Most of the time, however, we call it "fear" and we don't like it.

Contrary to popular belief, our parents didn't teach us to feel fear. Our parents did teach us to use fear as a reason not to do something.

But by eighteen-or-so we should know the difference between that which is truly dangerous and that is merely new and untried, no one draws us aside and says, "That fear you've been using as a reason not to do things- its really part of the energy to get things done."

Once you know something is not physically dangerous, go ahead and do that thing. It may feel uncomfortable (count on it) but keep moving one step after another in the direction of doing it. As you move-as you use it-the energy will transform itself from barrier to blessing. You'll have energy, not limitation.

The process of feeling the fear and doing it anyway reprograms our attitude from, "Fear means don't" to "Fear means, ALL SYSTEMS GO!"

Thought for Today: Fear gives you the energy to do your best in a new situation!

Have a productive day.
