Embrace what scares you and use it to fuel your journey to growth.
– KEYS SOULCARE
“I usually speak with the optimism that I want to feel, even though sometimes I’ll be feeling the opposite. But, now I’ve realized that there is POWER in speaking to your fears. Share them, get past them, honor them and get them out. It’s so powerful for healing and manifesting what you want! Are you open to sharing your fears?” — Alicia Keys
You never know where inspiration may be found. Alicia’s quality time with her son Egypt, watching the animated series The Legend of Korra, made her think about the way that fear can be reframed to find power. Korra’s father advised Korra to use her fear to ultimately create the outcome she wanted.
In listening to yourself, acknowledging the validity of your own fears and anxieties, and speaking and honoring them aloud, you create space for emotions that can guide you to your higher purpose.
Like Korra, we can all learn to take what scares us and use these visceral reactions as motivation to manifest what we want. Letting fears into the light can be a powerful tool for healing. By tapping into trepidation, we have a runway to see clearly how we may transform and change for the good of our future selves.
Making the leap from fear to motivation can be as easy as these steps via the Chopra Center:
- Breathe into the present moment
- Notice your thoughts and feelings
- Reframe
- Allow fear to be your counselor
- Take action
Speak about it. Breathe into it. Move past it, and step into your warrior. That’s fearlessness.
