I love this, Leslie. I just started reading MANIFEST - 7 Steps To Living Your Best Life. This book by Roxie Nafousi is excellent. In Step Two of the seven steps to living your best life, the focus is on releasing fear and doubt.

Fear and doubt can be deceptive—they often disguise themselves as protection. They whisper that they’re shielding you from disappointment, when in reality they’re the very things keeping you from stepping into growth, possibility, and the abundance that’s waiting for you ❤️

So true! Sometimes those whispers feel like shouting matches. Time to quiet the internal storm!

Enjoy your time in Switzerland! Time to sit. Be still. And reset ❤️

Well said! I've seen this more often than not. Our brains seem to wire us for protection when a trigger starts to emerge and then we create an assumption from the protection before we even get curious about the actual truth....at least in my past experiences. I've learned that the more I practice curiosity, the less I suffer and healing happens when I can rewrite the narrative and live my truth. ❤️💜

I couldn’t agree more. It’s time to tear down the armor!

Well written!

I was told “ Worry is suffering in advance”. Even though I keep telling myself about that, still from time to time

I fall into the anxiety trap. Your words really resonate with me. Thank you for sharing!

Enjoy your trip in Switzerland and get some well deserved rest.

Thank you May! I am going to carry that quote with me!

Well “said”!

I do think it’s in our DNA to be prepared to handle a potential threat and possible negative consequences. Similar to rehearsing a challenging conversation in advance.

Only in retrospect can we see the truth/reality. What we can do is learn from what didn’t happen. My opinion from personal experience.

I agree! And yes, hindsight is always 20/20. If we only had a looking glass.
