I Have To Do This Every Day!

I have to do this every day!

Put on My Soul Goggles and I’m Ready to Role!

I’ve learned that choosing love over fear every day is a daily practice.  So far, I haven’t been able to reach the divine level where I automatically see love without any fear. 

Maybe someday I will, but until then I am happy to keep practicing.

Putting on my soul goggles and choosing to see with love is something that I must do each day. 

Some masters believe and I do too, that everything in life is actually love or fear. 

So, when I was a middle school teacher and I was frustrated that a student was not acting the way I wanted, maybe interrupting the lesson continuously, I could shine a light on my frustration and see that I was actually afraid of not being a good teacher. 

I could also see that the student was calling out for love. 

But, fear isn’t necessarily evil as I had originally pictured it to be. 

In a Kundalini yoga meditation one day, I understood that fear also helps me to be empathetic.  I am grateful for the empathy.  It helps me connect with others so that we can learn together.

In my mind’s eye I pictured a huge fear magnet in the sky that could pull the fear out of everyone; pulling the fear that we aren’t good enough out of all humanity.

So, we could all know our worthiness from the insides of our bones to the essence of our souls.

I’ve come to believe that the fear inside of me is actually trying to protect me.  This calms me.  It isn’t evil trying to mess up my life.  It is trying to keep me safe. 

I created a Fear Calming process that I can use, when fear creeps back in as I know it will. 

Now I know that it is a part of the cycle, just as we see the sun and moon each day. 

I understand that just as the darkness brings the moon and the stars, fear too, has gifts to share. 
  
I hope this Fear Calming process serves you and maybe inspires you to create your own. 

Of course, you’re welcome to use mine.

                Fear Calming

1. Recognize That What I Am Feeling is Fear
2. Name It, Greet It and Thank It
3. Tell It I Am Choosing Better For Myself, Love
4. Trust in the Choice, Love

It sounds like this…by the way, I have named my fear, Scaredy Kim. 

Hey, Fear, here we are again.  I know you are afraid, Scaredy Kim, but it is going to be O.K. 

Thank you for trying to protect me.

You can let go of the fear.  You are not alone, the light is always with us. 

I will hold you gently in my heart.

We will go together.

Let’s choose better for us.  Let’s choose love. 

New and bright.

Soft and strong.

I can feel the love washing over me after this process.

I hope this serves you!
