Becoming the best you possible! Escaping FEAR!

Most of us are worried and fearful in today's culture. We worry about others. What they think of us. What they like or dislike about us. Sometimes this line of thinking descends into the depths of despair. We worry about our boss. Why didn't he smile at me? He didn't include me in his 'atta boys during the meeting....did he not like my last product? Is he worried I am not doing my job?

With friends it's the same - did she get her feelings hurt when I said that? Are they mad at me? Why didn't they include me?

Family stressors include worrying about being included as well, but also not understanding changing roles.....

Now those are issues in a normal world, but we do not live in a normal world. We live in a world afraid of socialism, afraid of capitalism, afraid of vaccines, afraid not to vaccinate, afraid to go out in public, afraid to eat at a restaurant...the list is endless. Where does it end? How do we enjoy life despite the world around us? What are we able to control? 

First, our jobs. Try to have a job where your leaders are supportive and empathetic. A place where you love to work. Not just a job, but a joyful place....After you listen, try to emulate that leadership in your life - in your family, with your group of friends, with those with whom you work!

Take 15 minutes to stop and watch the above url. It's amazing. This guy gets it. We need leaders with empathy. He states it so clearly. 

Secondly, pay attention to your body. Right now lower your shoulders. Did you realize that you were so tense? Try some deep breathing. Listen to some beautiful soothing music. Look at nature. Just focus. Be in the moment.

Watch as the psychologist explains what is going on with our bodies filled with trauma. You may not have trauma from war or battle, but  you may have trauma from an unhappy life or childhood or even just depression that becomes stagnant.

We know we need empathy in our lives. We know we have trauma we need to rid our bodies of...
