Overcoming Fear… Wait Does Fear
Actually Exist?
So check this out… fear is oft en a
misunderstood energy. Excitement and
fear are the same feelings
physiologically, right? Take this
scenario. Have you ever been in a
serious situation where you should
have been “afraid”, but were totally
calm?
Most people talk about such an
experience as being in slow
motion, having super human
strength, a sixth sense or guardian
angel.
In those serious and sometimes life-
threatening situations, being “afraid”
would be understandable, right?
How can it be though, that if you were
“afraid” you knew exactly what to do
and remained calm, had a guardian
angel or sixth sense? What if it wasn’t
actually fear but instead you were
MORE AWARE? Let me explain…
Think about this, when a child gets
ready to hop in the swimming pool for
the first time, or on the first day of
school, what does a parent say to the
child, “Don’t be afraid”.
Consider this—maybe that child
wasn’t afraid, but just excited but
couldn’t in her/his young mind, “label”
that feeling or emotion. So, when the
parent says to him/her “don’t be
afraid”, she goes, “oh, its fear I am
feeling”.
Later, as she grows up, whenever
there’s a feeling, resembling that
excitement, or an unknown situation
or experience, she thinks, “I’m afraid”.
See??? She was conditioned to have
fear and be afraid when what she was
experiencing excitement.
Excitement is by its nature an
expansive energy; it’s a BIG emotion.
Big emotions, are bigger, than what
our minds can compartmentalize
because they are expansive for a
reason, right?
They are to clue us to what is possible,
to signal to us, that there is MORE
than what we can see with our eyes or
touch with our hands to light the fire
in us, right? We are NOT supposed to
be able to box the “bigness” of who
we are.
Imagine right now, you stretching out…
your energy stretching out to all of the
lives of the people who desire to
connect with your gifts… What is
possible is so much more GRAND than
what you can label. With that said, it
feels a lot right? YAY! That’s the power
of you!
The rub is that later, whenever that
feeling of expansion comes up, instead
of just allowing the big energy to be
there, we shut it down as fear and
close all the possibilities of having,
being or doing more. This is just one
example of how excitement can be
mis-identified and entrained to be fear.
So when you think of something you
truly desire, do you feel big and
expansive, like, “OMG”? Most likely,
that is just excitement, not fear. What
if what we think is fear, is just
excitement, so much excitement, that
we are energetically overwhelmed by
it?
There is this awesome quote by Fritz
Perls—he states, “Fear is just
excitement without breath.” –
Fritz Perls
fear… just breathe an ask a
question.. Is this fear or
excitement… do I feel
expanded, like WHOA…
Conversely, what if what we think is
fear, was really, just “greater
awareness” designed for our benefit,
or internal angel, or sixth sense for
those serious and/or life or death
situations?
No matter what the label is, you will
be able to distinguish fear from
excitement with your detector of
truth, so YAY!
