Fear stops us.
It stops us from showing up, from being the person we want to be, and from making change.
It stops us dead in our tracks and it disguises itself as depression, overwhelm, anger, shame, anger, and blame.
At the very root, there are only 2 emotions. Fear and Love. Both drive us. And more often than not, its the fear of not being loved that shows up.
Of course there are many factors that layer overtop which make it muddy and confusing to sort out what the fear is, but this is how you stand in your own way.
The fear slows you down and it will paralyze you.
Just for today, lets recognize where fear is showing up in disguise. Take a moment to look for the ways you aren’t showing up in life and ask yourself what it would look like for you to show up whole, uninhibited, with your light shining brightly.
Then see where the resistance shows up.
Then dig a little deeper to uncover the deepest fear that is holding you back. (hint: if you need help, journalling will make a big difference)
The world is waiting for you to show up, but you need to recognize the fear for what it is so you can get out of your own way and get moving forward.
