On The Inside

I’ve noticed that it’s a lot easier for me to have some intelligence about what to do when I have an awareness of what’s going on in a situation. That may sound dumb, but I say that because there have been many times in my life when it seemed that I was clueless about things that seemed to be obvious to other people. In some ways, I’m a little slow.

I guess it’s just hard for me to see what’s motivating my behavior at times. Self awareness takes practice. Usually if I’m having a hard time it’s because of some fear happening inside of me. When fear gets triggered, the natural instinct of “fight or flight” kicks in and balance isn’t my strong suit when I wind up in that.

Most of what I am “afraid” of has nothing to do with reality or the present moment. Fear usually comes up in me if something reminds me of past experiences where I didn’t do such a great job dealing with what showed up for me to handle. I don’t know why it embarrasses me to be human when I’ve tried to accomplish things that didn’t work out.

Blessings!
