Right up front, let me tell you that I went to the doctor and there was nothing wrong.
Fear is a wonderful emotion when we understand it – it warns us of danger and keeps us safe when we listen and understand it. In this case it was a warning to me that I had taken on all kinds of beliefs about what was good for me and what was dangerous – based on other people’s views instead of my own truth. Do you get it? The danger here was not about cancer, it was listening to other peoples opinions and sometimes outright crap about what’s true or not for ME. That fear can become a self fulfilling prophecy if we believe it. If you tell yourself that “this thing is going to cause cancer”, for long enough or convincingly enough and it WILL cause cancer. The power of our minds is HUUUGE.
And hey, I have enough of my own limiting beliefs without taking on other peoples’ crappy beliefs.
That makes the simple question that I ask over and over again about all kinds of things – “Is that really true?” – asked of myself with a feeling of curiosity – that makes it the most important question in the world.
There’s quite a few emails about fear in the emailbook “Holy shit is that really true?” because it’s such a big subject, but I’ve chosen one for you that’s called Understanding the gift in fear.
