ACTION Cures Fear!

Even been afraid of something so bad that it paralyzes you? Maybe you're afraid of heights. Just the thought of you being on top of a building just stops you in your tracks. Or, maybe you're one of the few MILLIONS that are afraid of public speaking? People would rather DIE than speak in front of a group of people.

Whatever it is we are afraid of, I can confirm that if we put action to the very thing we are afraid of it will cure the very fear that we're emotionally bonded to.

One of my dear cousins just put this very comment to the test. Her fear was flying on a plane. She could drive anywhere, but flying was out of the question. Sure she wanted to visit other coasts within the United States, but if it involved flying, she'd rather pass.

This year, she just decided enough was enough and she was going to look at fear square in the face and defeat it! She was going to her baby cousins wedding and she was going to take a plane to get there! Now it may have taken her several hundred prayers, and a couple of drinks (LOL!) to get her on that plane, but she did it!! Not only did she survive, she also conquered a long time fear that was paralyzing her to do some of the traveling she's always wanted to do. Now, she has taken two plane trips all within this year!! WAY TO GO COUSIN!

My sister put a quote on a colored notecard for me about 9 years ago. I still have that card that has a quote that says: "Do whatcha fear and watch it disappear!". I've been afraid of many things over the past several years. A lot of it has to do with launching my own business. What I've learned about fear is that we really don't have ANYTHING to fear but the actual emotion of fear - NOT the situation! A plane ride that my cousin was so fearful of is someone else's adventure! It's how we look at the situation! Why are we so afraid of "it"? Who told us "it" was scary? What did we see or hear from someone else's experience that made of fearful of.."IT"?? And how do we stop being afraid of "it"?? TAKE ACTION!

Here are three action steps you can do right now to start the process of curing your fear:

1 - Visualize.
In your mind's eye, close your eyes and for just 5 minutes think about the situation you are afraid of. Look at the situation square in the face. Feel it. Smell it. Taste it. Ask yourself, "what really is the worse thing that can happen to you in this situation?" As you are in the situation, remind yourself that you are safe and that there's nothing to fear but fear itself.

2 - Pros/Cons.
With this fear, what's the best reason for keeping this fear alive and well in your mind? Why is it safe to have this fear around? These are your pro's.Write these out. Once you've made that list, then make a list of reasons why you need to let go of this fear. Place these cons besides the pros. What positive changes could occur (even immediately) if you decide today to rid yourself of the fear? If the cons outweigh the pros, then move to the next action step.

3 - Take Action.
Take a bold step today! What have you been wanting to do in your life but have allowed fear to hold you back from it? What can you do today to take a bold leap toward ridding yourself from this fear? How would you feel once you've taken this step?

Take a bold step to your happiness today!
ACTION CURES FEAR!

What Are You Waiting For?

Born2Blossom has been in my head and heart for about 5 years now. This morning I realized why it has been taking me so long to launch my baby. It's because I wanted everything to be just perfect. A couple of months ago, my life coach gave me a scenario of helping an elder woman across the street. She asked me if I would help her or would I tell her, "oh wait, let me get perfect first before I help"! I laughed at first, but then I thought about it and noticed that that's exactly how I have been treating my purposeful passion!

I have a purpose, a passion, a gift, a talent, that could help inspire or even catapult someone else's purposeful passion! If I wait for the "perfection", or "gotta have it just right" mentality then that poor elder would still be waiting to cross the street! So my motto today is, "JUST DO IT"

My website is not perfect....so what! I got it up! My blogspot, or facebook or twitter may not have everything I need on them, but, they're up! I've decided to stop waiting on things being perfect and just perfect along the way!

So today, I ask you. What are you waiting for to happen before actually living the life you really want? Waiting for more money? Oh I know..you're waiting to lose those last 60 pounds!! Oh, or better yet, you're waiting to get married, have children and a house (with the dog and picket fence), then live the life of your dreams!


"Whatever it is YOU do...WHATEVER it is YOU DO....NO ONE can do it like YOU CAN!!! It is your responsibility to share your gifts, talents, and abilities with us. Your gifts will enrich your life when you share them with others!!! Weeee're Waaaaiting... "Niambi Dennis

Today, join with me and "JUST DO IT"
