Hi Messiah, first time reader of your blog. Welcome! When I feel afraid of being me, it's usually because I'm NOT being me deep down. It's when I unconsciously slip into that 'pleasing others' mode and forget the real me. That's when I know it's time for some quiet reflection to find my true path again. After that the feeling of being afraid is gone. Does that make sense? Never fear my dear! you are perfect just how you are!
Sweetie, we all get that sometimes - our anxiety can take over and it feels nauseous and not right. Questions keep coming up in your head. Just take a moment, step back - close your eyes, breathe. Notice how your mind (the chatter box) talks, keep watchful but be mindful not to let it tell you what to do. Just watch it, breathe and notice every part of your body inside. It will pass, eventually... You're gorgeous, don't forget that.
It's normal to be scared of ourselves. The social structures of life and the tyranny of "crisis/chaos/response" that many of us adopt as our planned way of response continue to layer us with so many glued on labels of who we are supposed to be/what we are supposed to do etc. The voices crying out for some sense in it all can so very often become overwhelming. Tolle says it is the ego fighting for supremacy that allows those chattering noises in our heads to take control. If you can breathe, shake out that noise and focus on silence (even if it just a momentary mute button) then it can help a little and quieten the ego.
As Tomdiggleharry says - listen to your body. It brings calm.
Schatzi is right - it's usually when we are trying to be something else that we most get agitated with our 'role' in the world.
Whatever you do be kind to yourself ...
Hi Messiah
When I read your posting it made my heart ache. For years I was exactly like you. Listening to that tape in my head that told me I was no good. I shut out and denied the real woman. Please please dont do that.
Remember you are unique, wonderful and you are you and if no-one likes that, they are not worth knowing.
Thank you so much, your words really touched my heart!!!

My tape never stops - just sometimes i find it harder to detach from it when i am preoccupied or confused.
Mostly that means slow down and breathe...
Meditation is so important. Stillness brings peace with yoga and breath and nourishment for the soul.
For with stillness, we let the magic back in (and the luck).
