Why I’m Awake At 3:00 AM

Early Morning Anxieties 

Fear….anxieties
Like to rise up
Inhibiting my rest 


My mind often wakes me with silly fears or concerns. I learned, ages ago, that the best thing I can do is wake, add them to my workflow. My brain then knows that I won’t forget. 


Career Meditation: Accepting what I don’t know 

Embracing my fear
Stepping into the unknown
So much I don’t know


I realized this morning how much I’ve struggled with my new job. I’m in a new industry and doing very different work.  And i’s been a long time since I’ve stretched myself like this. It’s been fearful, but good. I need to push myself forward. It’s far too easy to settle into easy, no risk, safe work. I need to push through that fear and keep growing, stay alive and vibrant. 


Fighting Insecurities

Insecurities torment

My broken psyche

Bringing out internal pain

Denying my gifts

Dragging on my dreams

I shall resist


Love this image I found over at The Odyssey Online. Definitely go give them a look

Insecurities: A Haiku 

I am pulled from sleep

p style=”font-family:"”>Insecurities fight me

p style=”font-family:"”>Destroy happiness 

Facing The Light

I face towards the light Abandoning fear’s embrace And moving forwards

Resisting Fear

Facing down my fears

Resisting despair’s summons

Living by my terms

Fearing Our Fears?

p style=”font-family:"”>Decisions from fear 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Often lead to deep regret

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Hmmm…fearing our fears?

Insecurities

My
Insecurities
Drag
Down
My
Soul

The deepest victory

Every time we learn
A candle is lit
Against the darkness 

Every time we teach
A Sun is lit
Burning that darkness
