Caring and love
So, if Jerry Jampolsky was right, and fear is perhaps a call for love, why not try this little mind exercise:
Stop and connect with a feeling of love,
and see if the fear goes away for a moment.
Sounds simplistic, but little steps like this can work wonders. You just have to suspend judgement and give it a whirl. You won't expect fear to go away entirely, but you'll feel fear-free for a tad. This is only the tip of the iceberg, but it shows you that love can work wonders. Maybe, if you like doing it, you can use that love trigger (the moment or feeling that you connected with) and repeat it many times during the day.
Alternatively or additionally, contemplate on one of the 'cards' elsewhere on this page.
It upsets me when I see that so many people believe they are stuck in the same rut and think that there's nothing to be done to help.
Love, inner power, wisdom, joy, personal empowerment and freedom are among the gifts of taking the decision to look at your inner stories, your drivers, and what could be influencing your life in unwanted ways.
That’s why I suggest taking a little ‘attitudinal healing’ step like the one above (and so many more in all my courses and downloads).
Do you like instruction manuals too?
Being an Aspie myself (Aspies are peeps with Asperger’s traits), I love an instruction manual or recipe. You'll find lots here!
I’m on a mission to change the self-esteem of Aspies, to help them have a deeper spiritual understanding, to know that they do not need fixing, to offer them a community of like-minded peeps, if they want it, and to achieve a world where neurotypical people accept Aspies as they are, and don't try to cure them – which will make caring cool again.
We Aspies are judged by neurotypical peeps as being rude, uncaring, etc. So we start to believe that we are. This fires me up. We’re just blunt and oh so logical.
We can change this erroneous belief in ourselves and in the community, and, yes, make caring cool again.
I quoted A Course In Miracles to start with, and here’s another one that you might consider using as a bit of a mantra: “Today belongs to love. Let me not fear.”
Who is Elizabeth?
I’m always optimistic that you have a beautiful, bold personality that may be hidden under a cloak of low self-worth, ‘not-enoughness’, or other hidden self-sabotaging stories. What's more, I’ve experienced that these stories also cloak us from connecting personally with God. Over the years, and as a result of exploring and studying spiritual paths, I’ve developed my own connection with Spirit.
Some people want you to be cured of Asperger’s. Not me. I want you to love it, love yourself, and relish your strengths and uniqueness. Sounds hard, but in my courses we start with simple steps for you to ultimately reach a state of self-compassion.
