Neville Goddard, a renowned spiritual teacher, once said, “Fear is just a belief in what you don’t want!” Think about it. Our fears, big or small, are often just stories we’ve created in our minds and then started believing in.
If fears were real, we’d all have the same ones, right? But we don’t! We each have a unique set of anxieties. This means our fears are mostly mental creations. And if we created them, guess what? We can uncreate and cancel them!
Now, before you go jumping into a lion’s den, let’s clarify. I’m not talking about ignoring healthy instincts. I’m talking about those everyday fears that hold us back:
- Fear of rejection: “What if they don’t like me?”
- Fear of failure: “What if this doesn’t work out?”
- Fear of the unknown: “What if I can’t handle it?”
These fears, while understandable and maybe stem from past experiences don’t serve us. They drain our energy and block our joy.
So now what? ..Well, the antidote to fear is… FAITH
When we focus on faith – believing in ourselves, in a higher power, in the possibility of positive outcomes – we shift our energy. It’s like switching channels on the TV. Put your faith in yourself! in the angels, the universe, God, and the divine spirit consciousness within you! and so instead of dwelling on the “what ifs,” we tune into the channel of possibility and abundance.
Here’s the key:
- Become aware of your thoughts: Notice when fear creeps in.
- Redirect your attention: Gently guide your thoughts back to faith, hope, and positive expectations. (and don’t get frustrated or depressed if you realized you fell back into old ways)
- Practice, practice, practice: It takes time and effort to retrain your mind. Be patient with yourself. we are human and growth isn’t linear!
Remember, you are not a slave to your thoughts. You are the master! You get to choose where you direct your attention. Focus on what you want to experience.
WHERE ATTENTION GOES ENERGY FLOWS!
Let’s leave fear in the dust and embrace a life filled with faith, joy, and abundance!
