The fear of not doing something

Posted on by philipdodson

Often, you read about our fears of doing something or starting something or saying something.

Actually, the reverse is often the case, we fear not doing something or stopping just as much.

We continue doing something as we fear if we stop it will change how others see us, it threatens our ego, our self-image, so rather than stop, we carry on even if it brings us pain and we know deep within us it is the wrong thing to do. We carry on doing things in order to fit in, to be accepted, so we feel we belong.

Fear is what the mind creates and is felt in the body and is associated with the psychological imagine threats to our self-image, not any real physical danger. Whether we fear to do or we fear to stop, it is all in our mind and a choice we make. Why carry on metaphorically ‘stabbing ourselves with a fork’ and inflicting pain?

Our worth

Posted on by philipdodson

Our self-worth is not the sum of what we have done or not, said or not, felt, or anything related to our past. Nor will it be determined by our future actions, words, thoughts and so on.

We are not what the mind dictates we are or we are worth, our self-worth is beyond the mind. Deep in our heart, we are always worthy and always will be, nothing can ever alter that.

If we start from that position of always being worthy, there is less to prove, well nothing to prove, nothing to act out, not feelings of inferiority or lack, no need for comparisons with others, we can simply be our authentic real self.

It starts with a simple choice, accept that we are worthy or listen to the noise of our minds.
