Fear… 🌿 Isn’t it so interesting, that we are only born with two innate fears: the fear of falling and the fear of loud sounds. 🌿 All other fears are learned from our life experiences. With the number one fear being, the fear of public speaking. 🌿 It was quite a revelation when I first truly realised, that fear, only exists in the mind. Fear simply does not exist, in any which way, shape or form, somewhere outside of us, out there in the world. 🌿 That’s not dismiss how real fear can feel - in our mind, in our bodies and in our emotional responses to it. 🌿 A healthy level of fear serves its purpose by keeping us safe from danger. 🌿 The problem arises when fear shows up as inaction or avoidance in our life. When we intentionally make choices out of fear that stop us living our best life. 🌿 At it’s worst fear can have a completely debilitating effect on our lives. Fear can keep us stuck in our circumstances as we avoid new opportunities for growth and development. 🌿 George Addair is quoted as saying, “Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” 🌿 The good news is, if fear can be learned, it can be unlearned too. 🌿 The best technique that I have personally come across to help people overcome their fears is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping). 🌿 It has not only helped me but has also helped my clients too, to completely process and release past experiences, beliefs, and responses that were perpetuating their fears. 🌿 If there is a fear that you would like to overcome, then give EFT a try. It may just surprise you! 🌿 What actually prompted this post on fear today was this beautiful poem called ‘Fear’ by Khalil Gibran. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 😊 🌿 Drop me a DM if you feel ready to work on your fears and would like to book an EFT session with me. 😊 . . . . . . . . . #shreemwellbeing #fear #innatefear #learntfear #learnedfear #proscratination #avoidance #debilitatingfear #mentalhealth #emotionalwellbeing #kahlilgibran #wellbeing #wellness #fears #phobia #efttapping #eft #emotionalfreedomtechnique #emotionalfreedomtechniques #tappinghelps #meditation #mindfulness #reiki #reikihealing #crystalhealing #healing https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZOPXthfMR/?igshid=ab15mzjkmpo7
