Staying connected, when in fear.

Staying connected for me seems to be the whole point of this human journey. I am in constant balance between feeling a bit too separate and bringing myself back to connection. The issue that I've faced recently is how fear can stop us from re connecting in the first place. It gives us too much to think about so that we don't even try and go inward. Again, awareness of this is the first step. Sometimes I even try and let the voice continue, while observing it. Sometimes I'm so quick to move into connection and fearful of not having been that I miss what that voice is actually saying. Don't forget to listen with intention. This 'ego' voice might give you the answers you need to know what it is trying to sabotage. Once you know its inner workings you then have a direction of focus. For me this month it was definitely the feeling of 'belief'. Once I listened to the voice that was sabotaging I realised that all I needed to do was remember that I am doing well, congratulate myself, reassure myself I am taking all the steps to make my dreams happen, and just like that I was back in self-love. I felt connected. On a side-note, there are times and chapters in our life when we don't always have someone there to champion us, and its these moments when we are reminded to celebrate ourselves, and a reminder that if we don't do it for ourselves first then that outside validation will never be enough. So next time I question my connection to myself, I will stop, reassess, celebrate where I am, and enjoy the feeling that fear has not won. Love is always the answer.
