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. 😊

My interest and passion suddenly resurrecting to the surface of earth when I have semester exam coming up less than a week, 3 assignment up my ass, and 5 important things to do

Prior to her academic career, Oakley rose from private to captain in the U.S. Army, during which time she was recognized as a Distinguished Military Scholar. She met her husband, Philip, when she was working at the South Pole Station in Antarctica. Her experiences with well-intentioned altruism were shaped by her work as a Russian translator on Soviet trawlers on the Bering Sea during the early 1980s. Oakley was designated as an NSF New Century Scholar—she is also a recipient of the Oakland University Teaching Excellence Award (2013) and the National Science Foundation’s Frontiers in Engineering New Faculty Fellow Award. Oakley is an elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

Does it ever end? The day unfolds and the work never feels finished to me. But that’s the glory of being able to work on what you love. I can’t get rid of the admin side of things, but even that, tedious as it may be at times, challenges me to be better at what I do. And believe me when I say it’s a challenge. I am the worst procrastinator at times. I cannot believe just how badly I procrastinate. I am so creative at it too. Like right now - when I have about one thousand and one things to do, and I just finished teaching...and I’ve decided to start a tumblr account, and write something. GRRRRRRRRRRR. Back to work. Let’s keep grinding!

Não vá para a luz agora Alexsandra! Tu tem que sair.... (Quando tu resolve brincar ao invés de ter arrumar de uma vez para ir ao compromisso) #proscratination #sunlight #parfumspray

À ma session de shnout. #proscratination

I am probably going to load up my queue, and dedicate this weekend to studying. I have a couple of essays that I need to work on, as well as a few course projects I ought to get to get started on. I am also falling behind on my Chinese studies... I guess you can say that I put the pro in procrastination.

SCREW THE READINGS THAT ARE ALL DUE TOMORROW!!!! ...jk I need them to pass.
