There is such a buzz in my head now I am thinking there has to be music that can drown it out. Finding the calm in a storm and comfort in chaos is my new mantra. Choosing not to fear and give my energy to the fear of the future is a task that feels impossible. It is like slipping on this emotional banana peel time and again while not remembering to look the sequential times I have fallen.
Having a plan and knowing how to count to ten has to be the answer to conquering my fears. Even if the plan doesn't work out. At least I have a plan. There is comfort in that. Being able to follow my heart and purpose is shaking up all of my previously held strongholds of thought and expectation.
It feels like riding my bike without holding onto the handle bars as a kid. Although I am gaining momentum and strength, I have to choose my exact time to completely let go. First a few fingers, then one hand, then more fingers and lastly my remaining sweaty hand lifts and hovers above the handle bar ready to quickly grasp at the first indication of a bump, wobble or wind.
Leaning forward, allow my focus to tighten, gaining that inner trust. Choosing to listen to myself. Feeling that thrill of accomplishment and confidence fill that once place of fear and doubt. Sinking breaths of anxiety into breathing a lung full of mastery.
Love this! Absolutely perfect description of the exhiliration of life. Thanks, Ann.
