I am in a constant state of fear. Childhood trauma, a highly sensitive intuitive nature, a long battle with various addictions… I can’t remember a time that I didn’t feel like my nerves were on high alert at all times.
I am always worried that I won’t be accepted, that I’m not enough of something, that I’m too much of something, that I just don’t quite fit in, that I have nothing of value to say… and on and on.
Sound familiar? I see you sister.
So, how am I still on social media, speaking on stages, and writing bestselling books?
Here’s my three step process to deal with my constant fear:
GO BACK TO WHY. I spend a lot of time with my higher power getting her guidance on what my purpose is in this lifetime. I journal and meditate yesterday so be sure I’m in total alignment with her will. I start every day knowing why I was put on this earth and the role I have been divinely assigned.
TALK TO MY FEAR. I then invite my fear to chat. I say “Thank you for everything you’re doing to try to protect me. I love you for it. But I’ve got stuff to do (see step 1)… so I don’t need you today”.
START. Then I work my list of what I believe the next best and right actions are to accomplish my why for today. If I’m scared, I go back to step 2, then do it anyway.
Next time you’re feeling fearful, no enough, too much, not (insert insecurity here) enough… try this. It takes practice but I promise it will change your life!
Let me know how it goes!! You got this. I promise. I love you. XOXO
