What if we didn’t need to be afraid?


“Feeling scared is simply a misinterpretation of the excitement that our greater wisdom has about going on an adventure.”
Jennifer Hough


Someone from our Wings group (Flight School alumni) recently asked a powerful question about how she was feeling during this Herculean time we are in, and the feeling of lift off. I felt called to share this powerful conversation with you. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Question:

I know that I reached a new cliff and I’m about to dive off. Definitely scare-cited… highly uncomfortable at the moment.

How do I move into flow with those last things that my Ego seems to be holding onto? If I’ve been able to achieve a level of mastery in so many areas, I should be able to do it everywhere, right?

My Response:

This idea of “jumping off a cliff” is interesting for me. I think I spend every day going into the unknown, and it hasn’t always been easy. But, I can’t imagine my life if all I wanted were “predictable outcomes.” I’m in love with the unknown… but that took practice.

If consciousness really does have our back, and if we really are not alone, and if we truly are magnetic and everything happens for us, then are we ever really jumping off a cliff? Or are we just in process? Are we just on an adventure, moving in a very specific direction? Are we simply feeling unfamiliar (because if it were familiar, then it wouldn’t be an adventure)?

The more in love with the unknown we are, the less it feels like a cliff. The more we embody deeper truths associated with simply being Creation in Human form, on a voyage of self-discovery, the less it is scary. The more experience we have dancing in the unknown, the more it becomes not only delicious, but preferable.

Usually, when I feel there might be a cliff or abyss, the fear is simply a misinterpretation of my “greater wisdom’s” excitement. That’s what I’ve come to realize.

This is the level at which we can all operate and embody.

With love,
Jennifer

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Well, you might be surprised to hear me say absolutely not.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about deliberately forcing ourselves to do things that feel awful.

It’s just that I hear so many people saying… “only do it if it feels good”.

Here’s the issue with that:

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains.

I was listening to a brilliant podcast a few days ago which my husband reminded me about. Although they didn’t talk about this specifically, it struck me how important it is to understand how our brains work. In understanding this, I’m able to follow my knowing and feel connected to clarity, instead of being manipulated by noise which can only happen if I’m in fear; it’s so easy to be in fear these days, don’t you think?

Fight or flight creates an interesting shift in the brain causing us to relate to those who disagree with our viewpoint as the “other”, and there are those who want to manipulate others in order to protect themselves.

The key to thriving is…

A key to thriving is remembering that doing this is actually important.

It’s ‘nothing’.

That’s the thing, doing nothing is doing something.I’m sure you’ve sometimes tried to keep pushing through a project when life is showing you the harder and longer you push, the more unproductive things get, right?

I’m so guilty of feeling invincible or, put another way, stubbornly carrying on instead of being present to what life is showing, or sometimes commanding, me to do.
