HOW THIS TURBULENT ECOMOMY BRINGS OUR UNDERLYING FEARS INTO OUR DAILY PATH
There’s nothing like a dose of reality to shake us loose from our grip on denial. So, these times can be viewed as both a curse and a blessing. Wake up calls are exactly that: Wake up from the numbing slumber that has dulled one’s commitment to take care of themselves, whether it be health, environment or finances.
For some, it takes a catastrophic event to crack the veneer of denial. And oddly enough, some people still don’t change, in spite of the event that had them making all sorts of deals with God as short time ago. They return to their seductive slumber, and continue to complain and posture themselves as the victim.
Where are you in this fire dance? Are you tap dancing so fast your feet are a blur; are you doing the pre-set methodical tango, or are you waltzing thru this time, feeling clear and grounded in your own capability to survive and stay in the present so you can feel joy?
One of the key elements in healing is the truth: are you taking responsibility for your choices that may have led you down the path to this point of feeling fearful of the future?
In a September blog, I commented how I stay calm during this time and was very clear about being accountable.
In order to be in the present moment and help our fears calm down, we need to be totally honest with ourselves.
In my last blog, I commented on being compassionate with ourselves, and being patient with our choices that sometimes turn around and bite us.
Fear is future based and sometimes based upon factors we connected to be real as very young children. So, someone who has a lot of assets may live in fear of loosing their money. Someone who was criticized a lot as a young child, might always assume rejection when dating. Someone who was shamed as a child may always jump to the conclusion that everything they attempt to do will be ‘wrong’.
Children are very literal; they believe in Santa Claus, they will believe 2+2=5. How do you break that cycle ? How do you stop the mental dancing around the fire? Share with us the tools you use to keep fear from defining your life.
