It\u2019s nearly impossible, most days, to see around the bend to what may be. Uncertainty of the future, sensing loss of love or security can be huge triggers. What to do with fears? Denial doesn\u2019t work. Sticking my tongue out at fear won\u2019t either. I\u2019ve tried. Journaling helps. Talking to friends can help (if they don\u2019t collaborate with me). Coaching helps. Reiki calms. Yet, fears have a way of coming back into my life, even if they slink off for a bit from time to time. My ego seems to be attached to them.
