How to Stop Fear From Derailing You

Fear is a peculiar yet potent thing. 

It shows up in many different ways.

And, if you don't question why it's there in the first place, you could become blocked for a very long time.

So, I'm going to share with you one of the most potent and easiest ways to overcome your fear.

But first, a story to illustrate my point ;)

Last night, I heard from an old friend in Australia.

Someone I met during a women's empowerment retreat I spoke at, a few years back. 

My friend was telling me about her husband's sudden illness and what she'd been experiencing.

Because his illness is aggressive, she's had a lot of new challenges to face.

Her biggest battle is balancing being his carer while maintaining her own identity AKA not losing herself in the process.

I felt deep compassion for her.

She's only a couple years older than my mother.

It is a lot to handle for anyone, at any age.

So, I conveyed my empathy and sent her a message of encouragement.

A couple of messages later and our short exchange had finished. 

Or, so I thought.

But, Spirit had other plans.

I put my phone down, walked across my bedroom, and thought about how tough it would be to manage that situation and stay balanced.

And, that's when Spirit whispered in my ear.
