As we grow and heal, some of the things we heal from can become presented in our lives again for a deeper healing. I think of it like an onion, you peel one layer away at a time until there is no more to peel away.
Sometimes I am surprised that I have to work on certain things again. For me the past week I was again working on self worth. The old “am I good enough”, “am I doing enough” and “will I be accepted” pieces came up for me.
I believe myself to be a secure, capable and dependable person. Yet once again, I faced insecurity and it brought up many of my old fears.
It gave me the opportunity to think about my path, my lessons and how far I have come. It also allowed me to come face to face with the fact that yes, as I continue to grow, I will face old fears from time to time.
It also reminded me of all of the wonderful things I have gotten to do and the possibilities ahead of me. As I went through it and felt the old fears, it did make me cry and feel weak. I did doubt myself.
Then in the mist of the process, I remembered who I am, what I stand for and where I want to go.
So if you are faced with old fears, just remember, those fears are not who you are today. They are only showing up to give you an opportunity to get stronger and in touch with your power.
