Love Over Fear
Even though love and fear seem to be equal or that fear can seem more frequently felt, love is ultimately far more powerful. So why do we focus on fear so much? Why is it our go to place for making decisions? I think it’s partly because we as a society do not focus on gratitude enough. Our days are constantly interrupted with negative thinking about how we are not good enough or how we need something better than what we already have. These pattern push us into the turnstiles of not feeling adequate.
How often do you pull yourself out of that frame of mind and settle into being grateful for what you already have.
When we sit in gratitude for even three minutes, all the messaging starts to dissolve and we are left with positivity and a new framework to lift us up and move into our “true selves”.
Are you ready for a gratitude shift? Let’s take a few minutes and refocus.
Take a deep breath and settle into the body…
As you exhale… Lay down your anger, resentment, unnecessary drama, and fears. Make room for forgiveness, forgiveness of yourself and others.
Sit with the peace in your mind, think about three things you’re grateful for.
Spend one minute on each of those things.
Release one final deep sigh…
Make room for calm steady and deep Love, that sweet unconditional love for your self and for those you have chosen to have in your life. Make room to love those who accidentally bump into you, instead of being upset. Smile when you glance at a stranger, see them for the wonderful person they are. Make room for humans to make mistakes because they will inevitably make them. Love the beauty that comes out of the mistakes, it creates an opportunity to grow and evolve.
Lean into those fears and embrace them with love instead of feeding into them. Use the thought process of passing your thoughts through a filter.
Ask yourself:
Is this thought helping me or holding me back?
Does this align with who I am/want to be?
Am I creating separation from my ultimate wants with this pattern?
What am I giving up by letting this old pattern go? Comfort zone???
Decide to place your attention on gratitude and love over fear, know they have served their purpose and no longer need to be your “go-to” response anymore.
So if you see the choice for more love, great! It means that you are making a pivotal decision to heal. Even more, you gain peace and respect. Additional benefits will include inner-trust, confidence, making clear choices from your intuition, a deeper sense of belonging, and faith that love works.
As always mahalo and nā ho’omaika’i! (Thank you & congratulations)!
