Just the other morning I looked one of my fears in the eye. Well not exactly the eye – that is a little too brave for me in this instance. Let’s just say I slowed down long enough to face my fear, instead of allowing it to trigger my knee-jerk default reaction. It wasn’t exactly easy, and I wouldn’t go so far as to say I have “conquered” my fear but I can safely say that I learned something about fear, and for that I am grateful.
Have you ever shared a thought before you’ve had a chance to process it yourself?
Testing the waters, you float the idea to friends or family hoping they’ll get on board, and if they don’t, you second guess yourself wondering if you were just being silly or selfish for even thinking it in the first place. (And so maybe, based on those thoughts and the story you are telling yourself about those thoughts) you decide not to rock the boat, convincing yourself that it is better to suppress your thoughts than to make any waves.
