Scared of Spiders?
I was.
Now?
Made myself not scared of them.
Why?
Easier to focus on what matters.
How?
Started to understand why they kept appearing – they’re marvellous for eating annoying flies. They’re my friends now.
Observing things really helps, rather than trying to rationalise them from your own myopic view.
It used to be the same for me with pigeons until I changed my mind and I just walked through them. My mother observed this….
“Oh, you’re not afraid of them anymore?”
“No.”
“How did you do that?”
“I decided not to be afraid of them, so I’m not anymore.”
I repeatedly remind you that everything is your choice. You can do things if you really want to but you have to really want it and do it. I have to remind you because it isn’t just one decision, it is many decisions, every single day and you have to train yourself. And it’s really worth it.
Life can be much simpler than you’re currently making it. I definitely now believe that people want the drama. They find it exciting, you can see it on their faces – they love a good moan or a good stress.
I’ve shifted perspectives on many things recently, it’s great to undo the bullshit you’ve been operating under.
Easy? Maybe not.
Worth it? Oh, most definitely!
