“just trust yourself and believe in yourself. Because the bottom line is we are all going to have moments where we feel fearful we are all going to have moments where we have doubt. And one of the things doing energy work that I have learned was don’t resist whatever feeling you have… What we have to learn to do is say you know what I do feel fear, everybody does… So here is the way it works with energy if you resist something you create a block. So if I feel fearful I have to say to myself I accept that I feel fearful right now but I am still going to move forward. But I don’t want to resist the idea that I had that feeling. So the key to success is accepting how you feel, you continue to move forward, because the minute you accept you have fear you begin to dissolve the energy of fear. When you resist it you actually stop yourself cold because you are now trying to make believe you are not afraid and it doesn’t work. So understand that when you accept your feelings you dissolve the emotion and that’s the key that will help you move forward faster than anything else.”…[Listen for More]
