fear

Fear can be a suffocating emotional experience that has the potential to halt your involvement in life. With fear...we have to learn to travel with uncomfortable feelings. It is about learning to be comfortable in the uncomfortable... all emotional states are temporary and wash in and wash out like the waves of the ocean. Once fear is triggered if one can surrender it will have many whisperings of insights to share with you. Fear has a great intention. It is the most evolving emotion we have because we tend to move when we are uncomfortable. If fear stops forward movement then we are not responding to its evolutionary purpose. The more it stops you the more it grows and eventually one will be left in a state of depression. Movement is fear's intention...it wants you to move so that you can travel out of it into a new level of life. If we feel fear in the body....guess what....get moving!

  1. Great posting,Sherrie.Your blogs are inspiring.Allow me to extend yours with a famous quote I found in an old journal.

    "It is okay to be afraid. It is not okay to let the fear hold you back from accomplishing great and wonderful things.You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. The danger lies in refusing to face the fear, in not daring to come to grips with it. You must make yourself succeed every time. You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
