The best thing is to assume the truth with or without fear among so many delicate things that I attend in heroic times when the important thing is to appear to succeed at all costs, to be humble, and to want to learn from others it would seem to be from failures.

The gardener of my soul, my father, is still alive at the age of 86, he is a man of the word and there are many of his teachings in his very, very long conversations. One day he told me“Because of your fears, others can dominate you, that's why you must face and overcome them all.”

Back then, it helped me manage my fears about cockroaches. A goal he half-achieved. He told me that beyond the fact that fears can dominate us, he made a lot of emphasis on how people around us can use them to dominate us.

I have learned to differentiate between the fear of excitement, the fear that drives you, the fear lived as a challenge, and all those fears that paralyze me, the fears that throw me into pain, into my weaknesses. I have also learned to discriminate the bodily sensations that I confused with fear and that I now know are my heart's announcement telling me that something important is happening in my life...

Just this year it's my turn, I've felt afraid. I hope it will be mild, and I can deliver my truth and homework done. That's what I'm working on. Rescue me from the dispersion that at times my mind lives in the face of the bombardment of the sounds of everyday life, the external opinions of information that harm without realizing it and are food for fear, anguish, and catastrophic thoughts that lead to anxiety, sleep disorder, and many mental illnesses.

Fear has been and will be present until the end of my days, it has its stages like the seasons of the year, fear matures, it has its spring, it changes, and I learn and pass to another level of "fears". A little wiser... I keep learning from him, to leave him as an instinctive ally beside me, as a catalyst for coherent actions for and for my well-being until one day I close my eyes and leave calmly, in peace.

My fears protected me as a child, and alerted me to dangers and situations that I could not handle

Now, as an adult, I need "the fears" to feed my intuition and not for ignorance, misinformation, or unhealthy areas of my psyche to flood them to overflowing transforming them into panic or terrible paralyzing swamps that limit my life.

I must look at fears in the face of my truth, in the eyes that give confidence in myself. Perhaps loving them gives me the strength I perceive from the surrounding love, both of myself and of other human beings. Even when they are sad or angry, try to see behind my feelings, and I realize that fear also coexists with love.

Recognizing what scares me opens up a horizon of self-knowledge and territory to explore, identify and question what my mind wants to make me believe, because many times the mind lies, so I don't take for granted everything that my mind is imagining, I wonder what are the objective evidence to believe what I'm thinking?

Every time I'm about to explode, I must listen to my inner voice that asks and demands that I change my looking and that if I do, I can contribute to changing my world

Integrating all the sensations that fears show me with a mental attitude that gives me calmness, calmness, and peace, is the main fuel for coherent and sensible action. I will always have many options in the face of doubt, criticism, and determination in the face of fears, I share some with you: Sit down to regret, victimize and blame myself, fight and exhaust myself, and understand the lesson and transcend it by taking the learnings and strengths that point me the easiest way.

In times of fitness, yoga, and taking care of the body and physical health, we should also train the muscle of mental education, management, and emotional intelligence. Hopefully, I have the wisdom to choose the last option, consciously, so as not to get bogged down in others.

I am grateful for this half of the month of January 2023 and blessed next February the month of love, friendship, and the joy of carnival. I wish to continue to have the courage, heart, perseverance, and loving discipline to be faithful to me in achieving my desires, goals, and dreams.

Today, I keep contemplating my fears and I keep trying to make myself the owner of each one.
