Where do you think all this stress is located? In your fear response. We spend millions treating depression and yet, it doesn’t take a genius to notice how much fear is the motivating force for all of this.
We are so conditioned by negative self-talk, habitual excuses influenced by the opinions of others, that we lose sight of who we are and what we are truly capable of being.
Learning how to take the fear out of your life is a process of changing the way we react, adapt and make decisions and choices that are truly good for us. Removing the toxic waste of generations takes time. To live a healthy life, we must get conscious about what that is. Most of us operate on auto-pilot. We accept the hurts, the disappointment, the lack of joy and companionship of others who love and support us as inevitable.
It’s not.
