Dar kea age jeet hai,
Fearless Nadia,
We have heard so much. Anything worth doing will always have some fear attached to it. For example getting married, having a baby, changing careers – all these life changes can bring up deep fears. It helps to remember that this type of fear is good. It is your way of questioning whether you really want the new life these changes will bring. It is also a potent reminder that releasing and grieving the past is a necessary part of moving into the new.
Fear has a way of throwing us off balance making feel uncertain and insecure. But it is not meant to discourage. It is supposed to notify us that we are at the edge of our comfort zone poised in between old life and a new one. Whenever we face our fear, we overcome an inner obstacle and move into a new life-enhancing territory. Both inside and out. The more we are able to learn to respect and even welcome fear, the more we will be able to hear its wisdom. Wisdom is a contradiction in terms, we can to honor our fear, recognizing its arrival, listening to its intelligence and respecting it as a harbinger of transformation. Indeed it informs us that the change we are contemplating is signification enabling us to approach it with proper reverence.
You might wish to converse with your fear, plumbing its depts. For a greater understanding of the change you are making. Yu could do this by sitting quietly in meditation and listening or by journaling. Write down whatever comes up – you worried, you sadness, your excitement, your hope – this is a great way to learn about yourself through the vehicle of fear and to remember that fear almost always comes alongside anything worth doing in your life.
