Acknowledge Your Fears I never knew how afraid I was. Maybe I was even too afraid to look at my fears. People speak of facing fear, of not being afraid of fear, of working through fear. How do we do that? Try this technique, recommended to me by a healing professional. Take out a sheet of paper and a pencil, and write down everything you fear. Take as much time as you need. Let it roll out. Don't be afraid of what you see. Some of your fears maybe of the unknown. Write as much as you can about those, too. We don't need to list everything we need to do about each fear. All we need to do is acknowledge, honestly, what we fear. Once we do, the way will become clear. Acknowledging our fears will give us power. Acknowledging our fears will help set us free. Often, It moves us to the next place. It is the barrier we need to pass through. Although some of our affairs may be real, maybe grounded in reality, facing them won't make us more afraid. Facing our fears won't cause us more pain. Facing fear will bring us peace and power. The truth isn't the enemy. Fear of the truth is the enemy. Be gentle with yourself. Let yourself have your fears; and let yourself face them. Having the wisdom to face the truth will bring us closer to peace. Melody Beattie (1948 - ) Journey To The Heart 📖
