Awaken Your Day - Fear and other F words

"To use fear as the friend it is, we must retrain and reprogram ourselves...We must persistently and convincingly tell ourselves that the fear is here--with its gift of energy and heightened awareness--so we can do our best and learn the most in the new situation. "
- Peter McWilliams, Life 101

Key words... "with it's gift of energy and heightened awareness". Part of my whole philosophy with AYD is recognizing the sources of our energy and heightened awareness moments and then trying to enhance our ability to keep that awareness constantly in reach so we can enhance much more of our lives with it. ( tongue twister alert... late)

Fear is one of those words that just slaps a template in our mind and we associate it to a short burst of understanding and Label and we don't often stop to examine it. It has an immediate moment. Like the other big F word. See. You just responded with enhanced awareness.

So understand that when we Fear something, it generates that energy and awareness that are actually a gold mine. We are so in tune in that zone of energy - we just need to learn to turn it in our favor. There are other words that generate the same energy, but we embrace it in a whole other way.
