Releasing the pressure of fear.

We all feel fear to varying degrees, some use it as motivation, others crumble. Fear has a weight to it, a weight heavy enough to slow people down or stop them.

Some run forward from the fear, always chasing the next thing, others collapse under it. There’s many ways to remove the pressure from fear. To become still, calm and grounded.

First off is recognizing and acknowledging, we are not our thoughts, we observe our thoughts. Not every thought is true, not every worst case scenario is something to stress about. We can observe.

We can watch the mind, from the perspective of taking a step back. When we’re dwelling on the past or anticipating the future, we know we are not putting our focus and attention here In the present moment.

Fear has a way of chipping at peace little by little, bit by bit until the individual becomes completely out of balance. This is when the nervous system goes into fight or flight mode.

Some of us have been living in fight or flight for years. To calm this, and regulate our nervous system, we stop identifying with the mind.

We stop believing every stray thought. We stop trying to force and control every outcome or experience. We breathe deeply, letting our breath fill us with oxygen.

We purposely calm ourselves, we root ourselves in the now as much as possible. Soon we will intentionally begin to show our bodies that we are safe.

We are ok. We do have security, we have prosperity and abundance. We are protected and aligned with our purpose and a higher power.

When we can clean up the internal mess in the mind, by consciously releasing tension, worry, fear, shame, guilt, resentment, etc. We will begin to show our bodies we’re safe.

The chemicals of adrenaline and cortisol can stop being released so often, and we can enter new states of being. We’re not tied or tethered to fear. We can work on letting it go, day by day. One day at a time.

And one day, we’ll realize something… There’s a weight that has lifted. We’re becoming someone new, we’re no longer controlled by fear. We can change our state of being always.

What’s one thing you can consciously do today to let go of some fear?
