Hi * anita, so to me becoming fear-less is a few things. I think ALOT, probably too much and i evaluate every single thought i have, i need a reason WHY i feel the way i do, so i think about it some more, why am i so anxious, why am i thinking all of the time..does it mean im loosing my mind?? im sure nobody else does this.. the list goes on.. rumination i think its called.
I’ve been reading this book by Ruby Wax called “frazzled” and its explaining where these thoughts come from and my gosh i could spend my whole life digging until i got to the bottom but thats not what i need to do. Becoming Fear-less would mean that these thoughts could come into my mind but i could simple acknowledge them, accept them for what they are (just thoughts!) and carry on, becoming fear-less would mean i’m not afraid of how a thought could change my mood or make me feel a certain way because im in control of the whole process, this is what i need to learn , its tricky because its a learned habit and i need to unlearn it! I want to learn more about Cognitive behavioral therapy to do that.. all these things take commitment and i find that when i start feeling better after a low time i dont focus on working on all these things (another reason i joined Tiny Buddah MOTIVATION.
Also im a creature of comfort which i dont like because i miss out on a lot, i want to adventure and explore the world Try new things. Becoming fear-less would mean i do the things i want to do embracing the nerves but not letting my anxiety rule my mind with “what ifs” Dont get me wrong i do go places but its just the feelings i have when i’m at the destination, whether that be a new place on holidays or trying a new hobby, i want to fully experience it without worrying, does that make sense?
being fear-less would feeli like freedom, believing im capable, enjoying my life 100%, being present in the moment and accepting myself fully. I know life isnt always rosy, and im not aiming for that at all, my challenges teach me so much! i just hope i can glide through it all a little easier and with more confidence 🙂
