LESSONS FROM FEAR (PART 2)

Happy Year of the Water Dragon.

By all counts, it looks like it could be a year of pretty auspicious possibilities.

In that spirit ... and as promised in the previous edition of this newsletter ...

Here's one of the "What I learned from fear" tips that I said I would send along.

So, what have I learned from fear (and uncertainty, while we're at it)?

That often -- probably most of the time -- when fear spikes, we're getting a 'heads up' to where we've given our power away.

Seriously, if a Bengel tiger is about to eat you for dinner -- or a similar life-threatening alternative -- fear is our natural, instinctual response.

If that's not the case, though -- and we all know that a whole lot falls into this category for each of us -- then fear can be a handy clue that we've given away too much power to someone or something that doesn't really deserve it.

Check it out for yourself.

When it comes up, ask yourself: "What am I giving my power to here?"

And when we notice that, we can begin to reclaim all of that energy and power to use it for something more enjoyable.

I mean honestly, it feels crappy and perpetually insecure when we've given our power away.

And it begins to feel a whole lot better when we get that and start calling that power back.

More "What I learned from fear" tips and insights coming soon. I've got quite a few of them.

I've also learned quite a few things that have really helped me A LOT over the years with uncertainty, change, or just plain crappy circumstances, and the fear and anxiety that come up.

Check out the sidebar --you'll see a few upcoming opportunities to begin seeing and dealing with fear more creatively.

(And you should know -- these are not the usual left-brained chit-chat, because let's face it -- that hasn't really worked for us!).

There are a few other goodies below (including an upcoming Feminine Mojo Show).

If you're ready to shift and make new progress now, schedule an individual consultation -- just send me an email (info 'at' ivysea 'dot' com).

Wishing you very, very well.

Blessings A-Plenty,
Jamie
