When we are going through periods of change, expansion, up-levelling and stepping into the unknown, it is easy for fear-based thinking to get triggered. We can get caught in a spiral of worry, anxiety, over-analysing and planning. We may start to doubt ourselves, our abilities and whether the universe will actually support us in stepping into what we desire.
I got hit with a big whack of fear-driven thinking over the past few weeks while putting the final touches on my new online course Slow Down & Tune In. I had been putting in some big work hours, and doing a lot of thinking, planning and strategising, and without realising was getting totally stuck in my head!
I was finding it hard to unwind, relax and sit still. I was struggling to fall asleep. I often had an anxious knot in my stomach. And my mind was full of thoughts of self-doubt, insecurity and criticism.
I realised was that the more that I stayed in doing and thinking mode, the more power I gave to my mind, and the further I moved away from my heart, body and inner wisdom.
And the further I moved away from my inner self, the easier it was for fear to hijack my mind and take me to crazy town! When I am in my head, I lose touch with my inner knowing and the feeling of faith that I am supported, guided and that everything will be ok.
So once I caught this out, I got back to work bringing myself back into alignment. I took myself through 4 simple steps to shift out of the crazy fear energy of my mind, and back into the trusting, calm, grounded heart-driven space of faith.
I wanted to share this process with you today too, as many of my 1:1 coaching clients are moving through similar experiences at the moment, so I have a feeling it may be a common challenge for many of us!
In this episode I share;
- Why a faith mindset is the key to finding inner peace while living outside your comfort zone and navigating the unknown.
- Why practising faith means trusting in what you feel, rather then what you see.
- The indicators that fear has taken over your mind.
- Why work addiction, doing addiction and inability to slow down, is actually being driven by fear.
- How to hold space for your fear and why you need to listen to it (rather than ignore it)
- Why your fear needs compassion, rather than judgment.
- Why all change begins with your energy, not your mindset.
- Practices you can use to shift your energy, raise your vibration and come into alignment.
- Why you need to create inner space before you can hear your intuition.
- How to tune in and receive your loving inner wisdom
- Why I created my new online course Slow Down & Tune In, and how it can support you to live with more flow, ease and inner connection.
