TODAY'S LEARNING
Embrace Fear

Fear can hold us back from pursuing our dreams, taking risks and reaching our full potential, but it doesn’t have to be this way. To me, facing fear head-on means accepting it and not allowing it to dictate how we behave. How then do we learn to live with fear?

Above all, it's critical to acknowledge that fear is a normal and profoundly significant human emotion. Over the course of our evolution, it has kept us safe and alive as a defense mechanism. No matter how many macho men attempt to convince us otherwise, it is not something that can be broken or conquered.

The following actions can assist you in embracing fear:

1. Acknowledge and embrace fear

How many times do we try to just push fear down and squash it, telling ourselves that we are weak for feeling this way? I’d say most of the time.

Examine your emotions instead, give them names, accept them, and give them validity. Say something along the lines of, "It's okay that I'm afraid right now." It makes sense that I would feel this way—things are difficult! This helps to take away the power it holds over you.

2. Get curious about your fear

What is it trying to tell you? Are you projecting or is your fear real? Whose voice is it that's frightening you in your head? Does it belong to you or to someone who doubts your skills and abilities?

Perhaps a parent, an old teacher, or an unsupportive friend. What would you do if your fear wasn’t there? Put these questions in writing and take your time responding to them. Talking to oneself in this way is a great way to break the hold fear has over you.

3. Take small steps outside of your comfort zone

This could be as simple as trying a new activity or speaking up in a meeting or relationship. These may not seem like obvious solutions, but by making ourselves do something that we would normally shy away from out of fear, we build up our ‘fear resisting muscle’. This calms our frazzled brain by demonstrating that change is not always a bad thing—it may also be beneficial or even enjoyable.

The secret is to get going slowly and gain speed. You may boost your self-confidence and prove to yourself that you're more capable than you may have thought by starting small. What would you try if you weren't afraid? Put it in writing. What would you think about that? What tiny step can you take to accomplish that task today?

4. Prepare for the worst

Planning for the worst is your best weapon for reframing; I refer to this process as creating my "Blueprint For Failure." It entails listing all of my present fears together with my concerns about them in writing.

The worst thing that may occur is then listed, along with what I could do in the event that it did. After that, I make a list of the worst-case scenario and my options for handling it. And I keep going until I have a list of truly horrible things that have been bothering me and that I haven't wanted to confront, along with a list of constructive remedies that I know I am capable of coming up with.

5. Celebrate your wins

As adults, we seldom ever give ourselves a pat on the back when we achieve something right, but we will dwell for hours on a mistake we have made.

No matter how minor your successes may appear, take some time to enjoy them. You'll gain confidence and generate good momentum by acknowledging and appreciating your accomplishments.

It doesn't have to cost you anything to celebrate in the way that you choose. It could be as easy as finding something you enjoy doing, but you never give yourself enough time to do it. Alternatively, you might jot it down on paper and place it in your celebration jar.

Everybody in my family puts a post-it note in a jar I have at home and writes down anything nice that has happened to them. The act of watching the jar fill with colored pieces of paper serves as a visual reminder of all the wonderful things that are occurring and our constant pursuit of doing good deeds.

Today's Deal: Get 95% Off- The Ultimate Manifestation Bundle

About: Maybe you already manifest regularly or you’ve heard of it, but never tried it. Manifesting means using the power of your thoughts, feelings or beliefs to bring something into your physical reality.

At first, it sounds abstract, but science has proven, everything is made of energy: objects, animals, thoughts, and humans.

There are laws that control how this energy flows and where it goes just as there are laws of gravity and laws of growth. The more you know about these laws the easier it is to navigate the energy you need in the right direction.

No wonder that even stars like Will Smith, Jim Carrey, Oprah Winfrey, and Lady Gaga swear by manifestation as the secret to their success.

Jim Carrey makes it sound really simple. He says: “As far as I can tell, it’s just about letting the universe know what you want and then working towards it while letting go of how it comes to pass.”

Yet, there are reasons why some people are better at manifesting than others.

There are a couple of fundamentals you need to understand in order to apply manifestation effectively. With a little guidance and the right techniques, your best life is waiting for you.

In this book, you’ll learn how to use the law of attraction in every aspect of your life—money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You’ll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that’s within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life.

TODAY'S POSITIVE NEWS

Dominica to Create World’s First Sperm Whale Reserve–for the 200 That Call the Island Home…

Sperm whales are the ocean’s greatest nomads, but one island in the Caribbean is creating a permanent home for them.

A roughly 300 square mile patch of ocean in the territorial waters of Dominica is the only place known on Earth where sperm whales can be seen regularly throughout the year when they arrive to breed, and it’s here that Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit of the island nation has established the world’s first sperm whale reserve.

“The 200 or so sperm whales that call our sea home are prized citizens of Dominica,” Mr. Skerrit said.

The marine reserve covers 800 square kilometers for those using metric, an area where commercial shipping and fishing will be forbidden from entering. Large ships can harm sperm whales, but smaller vessels, designated in the law as artisanal fishing, will be permitted inside the reserve provided their methods do not harm the whales.

ZEN STORY
FLOW LIKE A RIVER

There is the story of a young martial arts student who was under the tutelage of a famous master.

One day, the master was watching a practice session in the courtyard. He realized that the presence of the other students was interfering with the young man’s attempts to perfect his technique.

The master could sense the young man’s frustration. He went up to the young man and tapped him on his shoulder.

“What’s the problem?” he inquired.

“I don’t know”, said the youth, with a strained expression.

“No matter how much I try, I am unable to execute the moves properly”.

“Before you can master technique, you must understand harmony. Come with me, I will explain”, replied the master.

The teacher and student left the building and walked some distance into the woods until they came upon a stream. The master stood silently on the bank for several moments. Then he spoke.

“Look at the stream,” he said. “There are rocks in its way. Does it slam into them out of frustration? It simply flows over and around them and moves on! Be like the water and you will know what harmony is.”

The young man took the master’s advice to heart. Soon, he was barely noticing the other students around him. Nothing could come in his way of executing the most perfect moves.
