Redirect Fear
What scares you? Do you know? As a child, I was afraid of the dark and needed a night light to sleep.
Looking back on it. I never knew why. The night light made me feel safe. Upon reflection, if something bad were to come at me, having the light on would only allow me to see it coming.
The light didn’t give me the competencies to face whatever came out of the darkness, and to this day, nothing has come at me in the night. I sleep in the dark, and my fear of it is gone.
In fact, it is safe to say I don’t fear the dark.
Fear moved away from the dark and into other areas.
At rest, my mind generates negative thoughts. Are they coming from fear or joy? The good news is that we have a choice in the matter. The choice is to change our thoughts. Changing our thoughts is free.
It doesn’t cost a thing.
It is hard to do. Yes, you read that correctly. changing your thinking is hard.
It is worth it.
So try it out.

Decrease the toxicity within.
Increase your inner calm, peace, and joy.
