Feeling Fearful...

Our psyches are a bit like a vacuum; they absorb fearful sentiments, and we soon find ourselves holding back and lacking courage. And Because so much of the world runs on fear. Between all the killer viruses, inflation, global warming, war, and AI takeover, it can be so easy to feel fearful and even fall into a scarcity mindset

So, when we are feeling fearful, we can do everything possible to fill our minds and hearts with loving, hopeful, and optimistic sentiments. We must consciously decide to live with courage, recognizing the power of our choices. We must remind ourselves that we have agency and the power to shift our outlook. We can choose love over fear, worthiness over unworthiness, abundance over scarcity, and freedom over stuckness.

And when we choose more positive feelings and thoughts, we can bring more light and joy into our lives. We can be a beacon of hopefulness for others, inspiring them to choose positivity as well. We can radiate happiness and love. Filled with hope and love, we can have the energy and vision to improve the world.

Baby Steps

Have you ever thought about how every big goal or dream is hundreds or thousands of small, tiny steps? Sometimes, when we are feeling stuck, what is holding us back is that we still need to make space to ask ourselves what the possible next steps might be. And then to take it.

For one thing, breaking down our goals into manageable pieces builds momentum. In addition, taking action works magic to silence our inner critic. According to scientists, we even get a boost of serotonin when we set out to do something and complete it early in the day.

It can be as simple as making a phone call, researching for a few minutes, or buying a notebook to step into our creative momentum. What we learn from phone calls or web searches can move things forward. Likewise, the rush of picking the perfect stationery can unleash ideas for the next big project. Incremental tiny baby steps combined can create the life of our dreams. There are millions of steps in making a masterpiece, and 20,000 words in a Novella.

When we focus on the next step, we are immediately back in the flow of life, and it's almost magical how the path can open up before us. So next time you're struggling with feeling stuck, ask yourself what small next step you could take. Is there one thing that you could do today to move your next project forward?
