Ironically, fears don't allow us to live life fully and in the same time they come true one way or another. Any fear, conscious or unconscious, is like a chain we carry every day and we act in accordance to what we want to keep in our lives. If you don't confront the fear, you will live it. Actually, it paralyzes you.
There was time when I lived in fear, in an unconscious way. A couple of years ago, I started working on myself by attending all modules of NLP (practitioner, master and coach). During that time, I started dating a friend. We started out as friends, spending time together and telling each other the deepest thoughts. It was the first relationship I started to live my emotions in an authentic way. The first six months up to one year it was good. I remember we took the time to discuss fears and issues that might appear in our first year of relationships. For every fear, there was a solution. In the same time, I started making small changes towards a healthy lifestyle, but in the same time I enjoyed partying. I would say we enjoyed partying as parties were our common subject. Besides common parties, we also discovered we enjoyed going to festivals like Saga and Untold. The chaos in my social life revealed the unconscious fears. I was afraid of dogs and cats. I was afraid to be emotionally addicted on my boyfriend. I was afraid of loosing my boyfriend. I was afraid to ever become an alcohol or drug addict. I was afraid of death. I was afraid of getting ill. I was afraid of my own shadow. i wasn't able to articulate, name or even mention the fears. I was chaotic. In moments where I should have been happy and enjoy Untold, I was stressed and unhappy. Some fears might have had some logic, but for some I wasn't able to find any real explanation. I was Fear in flash and bones and I was full of contradictions. I was so chaotic that we broke up. The separation took what I feared most: love. I never knew the bottom of the dwell had a basement. I felt like a woman chained to all the darkness of the world.
That was moment I realized it is time to deconstruct each fear, to accept it and integrate it as part of myself. My fear of being abandoned it is now part of myself and I know that I can handle a separation in a healthy way. I now know it is not the end of the world. I accepted that we all die. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. It is a constant work with ourselves. Everyday, we may discover new fears. It is important not to lead our lives.
