Conquering Fears Part 1 of 3


Everyone at one time or another has to conquer fears~ We had went to a park that had some faux climbing rocks they were quite high. Sammie was scared to attempt them. I wanted to help her attempt to face her fears as she watched her cousin climb them with ease. He lives where they get a chance to do this more often and he does gymnastics. I went to the rock and encouraged her to keep trying. I let her know I was right here to break the fall and catch her if need be. But how will I get down mom? The same way you climb up. Looking to see where you can grab and hold onto, looking to place your feet and setting them in place, then moving your body in the direction while holding on. Focusing on where you want to go. Working your mind and body together~

When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. Deepak Chopra

Creating art can be like rock climbing. Having to face your fears, looking to see where you are going, asking for help if needed, working your mind and body together to move in the right direction to enable you to succeed~ Theresa Huse
