Change is inevitable

Nothing stays the same and there is nothing that we can do about it. Most people are so afraid of change.

There are thousands of people in jobs and situations they do not like but they will not leave because they are afraid they will not find anything better and they fear the unknown. We are so afraid to follow our dreams and what we really want to experience in this one life that we have been blessed to live.

What a terribly sad way to live our entire lives.

If we are going to experience anything new in our lives, we are going to have to change our habits and patterns and be willing and open to go into new areas where we have never been before, but the very fear of the unknown stops most people dead in their tracks.

So what causes fear and where does fear come from?

Whether a fear originates from a previous bad experience or the unknown, it is not the circumstances of whats going on around you that is making you anxious. Fear is a product of your mind. It is a mental process that is causing worry and doubt to arise within you. Since it is a mental process, you can use your mind to stop it.

We think in pictures, so you have a thought and then your mind will begin to think about and vision every worst case scenario and outcome that it can possibly think of, and it does that because it wants to protect you and keep you safe from experiencing any negative feelings that may emotionally hurt you and it always goes back into your past memories of other times you felt fearful or painful experiences and reminds you that you never want to feel those emotions again.

Those feelings and thoughts are just old programs stopping you from really experiencing all that you truly desire now, and it is all happening on a unconscious level, so you are not even aware that you are the reason you are having such a hard time emotionally

To overcome the fear of change, first learn to face the person or situation you fear. When you try and back away from a fearful situation, your fear simply grows bigger and bigger until you finally deal with it, otherwise it will dominate your thoughts and your feelings

As you begin to face your fears, they will simply begin to loose their hold over you. Your ability to confront and to take action, despite your fears is the key for you to experience your own mental freedom and will also enable you to feel happier and back in control of how you feel emotionally and physically

Knowledge is power, so if your fear is based on a lack of information, then get the information that you need to examine the situation based on facts rather than speculation. it can be difficult to over come fear because you are attached to wanting the outcome to be just as you really want it to be

Maybe its time to create a new attitude and a new way of thinking about that particular person or situation and instead come from a mindset of, "Well if things work out the way i would like them to, then great!" and if they don't, thats also great! as it is an opportunity to learn from it and to now move on and create new experiences and meet new people that are more aligned with who you are

Sometimes we are the instigators of change in our life and that can be a good thing, because it means we are no longer willing to accept life as it is and we are pushing ourselves and moving out of our comfort zone and doing things that make us grow

The changes we face are going to happen, whether we like it or not. The question is, "How do you respond to those changes? Do you accept them, or do you resist them and try to avoid them and retreat to what you perceive as safety

Nothing ever stays the same. You either move forward towards something bigger and better, or you go backwards or even worse, you stay stuck where you are. Make up your mind that fear is not going to over come you and start moving forward. You are far more resilient than you could ever think

Peace, Love and Happiness Mimi
