Ego is the creator of fear​
Fear is one of the most debilitating enemies you will ever have to face.
Fear can cause us to hold back in what we say, what we do, how we act and how we react. Fear can ultimately keep us from becoming who we are meant to become in this lifetime. The key to releasing fear and eliminating it as a governing factor in our lives is to learn to understand its source a little better. Fear is created by the ego’s desire to keep us safe at all times and at all costs. Ego wants to keep everything – you and your life – captive within the status quo. Ego wants us to believe that the life we want isn’t possible for us to achieve because only bad things will come of it if we change the way things currently are. It fools us into believing that we must always maintain control of everything in order to prevent anything “bad” from happening to us.
The key to overcoming fear​
I’m here to tell you that the key to overcoming fear is to simultaneously face the things you fear head-on while letting go of the controls and letting the Universe show you your path. The peacefulness that comes with letting go and trusting that you are completely supported and worthy of every kind of abundance is so empowering it is palpable. But it takes practice, and lots of it, to retrain your mind to believe that you will actually gain control by letting go of control.
Take action​
When you take action and move toward whatever you know in your heart you should do or become – whether there is fear present in your mind at the time or there isn’t, it really doesn’t matter – you’ll be amazed at how your entire life will begin to shift and align with that goal. It’s just the way the energy works. In doing so, the ego’s power is lessened, and it will continue to lose its power as you continue to move forward – each time more and more fearlessly – into the space you are meant to occupy in the world. Situations will change, the way you approach things will be more sure and calm. You will lead your life with less emotion and intellect and more with intuition and trust that everything will work out because you know that it is meant to be.
Ego says: “Once everything is in place, I will find peace” ~ Spirit says: “Find peace and everything will fall into place.” ​
Try this​
A great method I used to retrain my own mind to remove fear was to simply repeat the phrase “BE FEARLESS” over and over to myself throughout the day. I wrote it on every mirror in my house with a dry erase marker. I wrote it on post-it notes and placed them at eye level all throughout my home, car, and offices. I wrote it down over and over whenever I had a pen and paper in my hands. I did all of these things even when I wasn’t actually feeling fearful, and even more when I was feeling the fear (ego energy) creeping in and trying to stop me. It’s amazing how soon the fear was replaced with an overwhelming feeling of empowerment! It’s such a simple phrase…but so is “I’m afraid”.
BE FEARLESS. You’ve got this.
