How to untangle the not’s

Artist Cathy Josefowitz ca. 1993

There is a deeper fear that continues to drive us and that fear is what I'm not going to have or what I'm not going to get.

When we are focused on the nots in our lives we are truly knotted within and our aims are misdirected, we end up living in our heads thinking that we are completely powerless.

Fear is the director forcing you into a role that starts to feel very restrictive and painful.

How to begin to untangle the not’s is to first recognize them for what they are. Plain old fear. Something that can be traced back to anytime in your life. Investigate and get down to the root of it and ask why I have this fear. What’s its purpose what's it trying to show me?

Most likely it's to bring you up and out of it through showing you where all of your power is going. Fear is powerless and physically depleting so it shows up in places where you feel limited and unable to do anything about.

Face it and become willing to let it inform you about where you need help and healing and ask for it.

Put yourself first and trust your path opening continuously.

"Your fear will always be triggered by your creativity, because creativity asks you to enter into realms of uncertain outcome, and fear hates uncertain outcome."
