Love and fear

I started out 2023 with an intention to do everything from a place of love and not fear. Work, life, relationships. All out of love.

Turns out, it’s a lot harder to do than you might think.

My intention has definitely been challenged. 

I think love and fear are appropriate umbrellas for a number of things.

Fear can look like control, anxiety, worry, scarcity thinking, and contraction or shrinking. 

Love can look like peace, freedom, trust, creation, possibility thinking, abundance, and expansion.

I don’t believe that coming from fear will help me create the life I want. Philosophically, I reject it.

But somatically, fear still creeps in. My body feels fear before my mind can process it.

I’m really honing my awareness of when this happens, and I know I have a choice to make.

I can allow fear to influence me, or I can acknowledge the fear and thank it for trying to keep me safe, and choose love (or freedom, or trust, or anything under the love umbrella).

What I create out of love will necessarily be different (and better) than what I create out of fear. 

Where are you coming from in business and in life?

And where do you need to come from love?
