Perspectives on Fear

During the latter part of 2010, many things changed in my life and I was afraid - fearful of what I was feeling and of the future.

So I looked up the definition of fear: a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined.
Then I looked up the definition of fearless: unafraid, brave, courageous, hardy. Calmly resolute in facing dangers or perils.

Instead of resisting Fear or running from it, I sat in it at first to get cozy with it, to truly feel it. Oh, it was mighty uncomfortable - each morning I awakened, I hoped it would have hopped a train elsewhere. But, no, it was parked at this station. I did my best to embrace the suffering Fear was creating - I was still vertical and breathing! I also became very curious - I held Fear in my hands and turned it over and over . . . and decided there must be a reason for its visit.

I shared with those closest to me my experiences with this new passenger of mine and their insights were incredibly valuable. Still, only I truly knew this Fear.

Then I made a decision to invite Fear to my work and into my personal contemplative times. Yea, just come along for the ride, Friend Fear. Travel with me and all others in this world as we look into the future and wonder what it holds.

Now, I will not say my turn from fearful to fearless happened overnight; in fact, it took months! But eventually, Fear became bored with my bold antics and decided to buy a ticket elsewhere. Last I heard, it is visiting someone else who needs a reminder to remain calmly resolute in facing their dangers or perils. Although I am sure Fear will visit again, I hope to have the courage to send it away sooner than before.

The following is a poem written by my great paternal grandmother:

Courage

Courage is fear,
Taken to flight,
Behind every smile
That wins a fight.
Courage is a noble deed,
To help others through,
Perhaps someone in need
Of your faith, and you.

Welcome Back To You (and to me)!

We've all heard the expression "what goes up must come down". This was certainly true for me during this past year. After a VERY high energy, creative period of time during the first six months of 2010, it was as though my energy made a correction in the opposite direction during the latter part of the year. I questioned all of my self, my work, my personal life choices. I chose to sit in this new experience, weather the storm and observe where it was taking me. As uncomfortable as this was, I once again learned valuable lessons and gained insights galore. Slowly, my mind cleared, my physical energy returned, and my creativity renewed. As I return to blogging, I will share the observations that came about for me - perhaps they will have value as you travel your path. Wherever I am in my life, I believe everything happens for a reason. I also believe it is necessary to look for opportunities in every experience that have the potential to fuel our self-evolution!

Later this week, look for details on upcoming events and workshops that we hope you will take advantage of: Indiana Dance Festival (not just for dancers) April 1-3, 2011 and One-to-One's Wellness Workshop Series being offered through New Haven Parks and Recreation beginning February 19, 2011.

Remember, we never know what is just through the door - so listen, look, and feel your way into each moment of this precious life!
