Fear challenge: What I’ve noticed…
Practicing it consciously, consistently changes the relationship with fear. It has made me get really familiar with it. Like, i know what it feels like, looks like, what it’s going to do, how it holds me back, and i can put it in a little compartment when it comes up, and give it a little name and have it come sit on the couch with me. And tell it to leave when i want.
Sometimes it bites back but at least i can predict it and be ready for it and just get stronger and quicker with defending against it.
But fear has it’s purpose. Fear keeps us safe. Being courageous is not being reckless.
Fear can be your friend who

>>——Warriors—————–—->
Waiting
in the wings of war,
a warm wind whips
a warrior.
Behind his long black hair
he stares…
Surveys the obscene scene he sees
Before him
His tribe
flanks his sides.
One heart, beating—
seizing
the moment,
they fight for their families,
their purpose, their honor.
Stakes high, confidence,
rapture.
Battle.
Hell bent on beating back
the waves of attacks,
the steady stream
of struggle.
A heavy pounding heart
Energetic slashing eyes
Bright wide-open mind
And teeth as wide as he can smile…. These warriors look fear in the face
and take its strength—
Fuel for a fire.
