What do I do with my fear?

 

Abandonment

Ok, here I go.  Let's see where my curiosity will teach me.

I found a website called https://theadultchair.com/

I excitedly signed myself up for a couple free resources.  I’m feeling eager to see what this results in.

Over the course of 14 days I’ll be provided with a journal prompt.  My personal goal is to find 30 mins each day to complete this task.  

Here's Day 1

What do I do with my fear?”

It’s just a voice inside of you. It’s not a tangible thing that you can hold in your hands. It’s a voice. If you turn down the volume on that voice, what happens? When you turn toward the voice of fear, it has some things it wants you to know. Let your fear have the pen and let it have a voice. It’s a scared part of you that wants to be heard. Let that part write and witness the words. Do not fall into them; witness them. Understand that it’s a younger, scared part of you. Just listen. Witness it as if it’s a child. 

I am afraid I won’t learn how to manage conflict without shutting down

I am afraid that I will lose my family connections

It’s scary to think about dying- I just LOVE life!

I fear not being financially secure

I fear cancer stripping me of the blessings of a long life being a mom 

I am afraid of being rejected by others 

I fear MS limiting my mobility 

I fear letting God down

Mandy, those are valid reasons to feel afraid.   Those are big and scary thoughts for sure.  I love that you're willing to open your heart and trust me with how you're feeling. It takes a lot of courage to look inside and make room for these fears to have a voice.  I'm giving you a great big hug right now...can you feel it?  Here, is another one to keep in your pocket.   I love you.  I am here for you...always.  There is nothing you can do that would make me stop loving and accepting you. 

You are safe. 

You are  worthy

You are enough 

You are loved
