"When you do the work, you will experience more inner freedom,
more joy, less anxiety and a real sense of how powerful you actually are."
Bethany Webster
The Mother Wound
If we approach inner work with a sense of adventure, we navigate through darkness anticipating the discovery of something good. As we unfold our lovely selves, fear may crop up in our belly to discourage us. But, is it really fear or is it excitement?
If we are a fear based person, we may associate many other feelings with fear rather than excitement. Fear is a natural response for some of us, so we need to reframe the scenario. Imagine pushing a door open, and a rush of fresh air hits our face ... but we keep on moving forward through the door. The same is true for some situations with fear.
In an unfamiliar situation like a new a gathering we may experience what we call fear, but if we push forward it really may be excitement. When we readily connect with someone we do not know, we may feel fear but is it blanketing the true response of anticipation? Fear can be a knee jerk response so we need to slow our selves down, dipping a little deeper into our emotions. To realize the over use of fear, one becomes more confident and connected.
