Had this bit of insight while at work.
Don't fight fear. Don't force yourself past fear. Don't stress yourself out. Circumvent fear, focus on joy and happiness. If you believe you can't just show compassion for yourself. If you're afraid show compassion. Do not fight. Don't engage with struggle in yourself.
The goal is to show your subconscious this new life is full of joy and happiness, not fear and struggle. Embrace good things, embrace ease, embrace peace. Focus on these good things. Focus on what makes you feel good and carry that vibe.
With that realization I came to understand I kept running into fear and then tried to just push past fear which just created more fear. My definition of overcoming fear meant experiencing fear to the point where I felt it was deeply uncomfortable and then somehow winning over it. Basically the wrong approach because I kept triggering my subconscious to enter a panicked state and deadlocked myself. Then I'd waste a ton of energy forcing a part of me that was terrified instead of persuading it.
I'm learning to just relax, remove tension, and tell myself I can handle all this and there's nothing to worry about. To not have my subconscious as this enemy I have to overcome or defeat. A lot of this does come from compassion, accepting I am afraid and not shunning the parts of myself that may not be on board yet.
