Level of Fear

I had a client the other day say, ” having a level of fear is healthy.” I was taken aback at this comment for a few seconds and then I thought to myself, it has taken a level of fear of progress in my life at crucial moments. The reason it caught me of guard was my continuing thinking of fear creating anxiety. I just love working with clients because they say the most awesome things and I learn from them, and I can write about the deeper meaning of words. So, going back to fear. Every time I had a breakup, it took a level of fear. Fear of hurting the other person, fear of not finding anyone else, fear of making a mistake. Fear assisted and propelled me in my writing and publishing of my book. Fear has made me not give a shit what other people think. Hence, the book and this blog. Fear has strengthened me for letting people go if they are detrimental to my health. Fear helped me with starting my own business. And this client is spot on. A level of fear is healthy.

People who are afraid of fear, which is called the feeling of failure, will stay right where they are. They will stay in messy relationships, they will stay in a job which no longer serves them, they choose to remain depressed instead of happy. They fear the unknown. If I didn’t have a level of fear, I would be on my multiple medications, depressed, in the wrong relationship, not published my story, and living in a total haze. Fear creates motivation, which in turn creates forward progress for the soul.

Now, I am not saying lose your relationship, quit your job, put down your writing instrument. I am simply saying if you live in a stagnant life, where you are not propelling forward mentally, getting stronger, setting boundaries for yourself, and not successfully accomplishing your goals, you might constantly be in search mode. If you are in a constant wonder if life would be better than the situation you are in, that would be intuition telling you to do something different. I just read the other day regarding people who hate their job, their relationship, simply, their life, are ten times more to obtain a chronic disease or maybe even cancer! Your body is a vessel, your soul is inside it. Once again, you are a magnetic field. If negative ions are surrounding your field, your body is going to feel tired, depressed, and age way faster. If you are in a situation where you are surrounded by happiness, peace, and love, the diseases diminish. Your world which you created by the way will become brighter. Ancient studies read this. You created what is around you. I have said this over and over again. I sure hope you realize this like I have. I am far from perfect in reaching the happiness realm every day, but I sure do know what it feels like.

So, this post is for my client the other day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me realize it has taken a level of fear to be where I am today. You made me look at it differently, and that is what mindset work looks like.
