This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 22, 2008:
What am I afraid of? That is the question that I ask myself whenever I feel any degree of fear or anxiety. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to get to the heart of the fear. And then I have to question why I fear that. Which always leads me back to myself. I fear myself. I fear what I could be. The growth, the potential, the truth scares my ego. And so to handle this fear I do a little excerise my teacher taught me when it is very strong, when I am really fearful. But during the day or when I wake up in the morning with a little anxiety I just take a minute be present and aware with all my senses. Which leads to the question "What is there to fear right now?" The answer to that question is usually nothing in this moment. So then the fear or anxiety in my stomach just melts away and that is the most wonderful feeling. Then I take a minute to be grateful and also to laugh.
Asking that question of myself has led me to face my fears and it has also facilitated a major shift in my attitude from a victim of constant fear and indesicion to the motivated, confident and happy girl I am today.
And now that I actually read the description for this q&r I completely misunderstood. Oh Well!

Cova, what wise words! I often think about the damage done to humans and by humans who are fearful. Better instead, as you say, to breathe…and to laugh! Like the old song says, “Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect, and whistle a happy tune…”
