Facing Fear. Does your water run deep?




The Redirection of Fear 

"Still water runs deep"
Mark Divine  

 Because of the COVID-19 (CV19) pandemic we have all been under significant stress and fear of the unknown.  As the issues have become more of a reality, it has been interesting how each of us as individuals have handled it.  From complete disregard to total panic, to hoarding behaviors.  Some run and hide.  Others hit it head on looking for solutions. No fear!  I got this! 

 What is the defining difference of management of fear? There are two motivating human emotions:  Fear and Love.  If you can  understand  fear and love, you  can  predict behavior.  Fear eventually burns out. One gives up, gives in and quits. 

 True unattached unconditional Love never burns out. 

As a tidal wave moves through the oceans deeper waters the surface is rarely disturbed.  As the wave gets closer to the shallow, the bigger the disturbance.

 Living in emotional deep water is unconditional love for yourself, for others, for your life's purpose.  The tidal waves of life are now just meir ripples. 

 This type of  love, is the foundation for Still Waters.  Still Waters are the strength to face fear head on and overcome it.

 To live here it takes practice. You must get really Still.  Quiet.  You go deep within to identify fears.  

 These fears are liken to ghosts in the background that you may not even know are there. 

 By identifying fears that negatively motivate you, you are listening to your inner voice. Through the deep work and recognising self talk,  you gain intuition.  You learn to remove fears from you circular thought patterns.   You start to listen to those around you pointing out fears and you identify theirs. 

 You be more tolerant, more loving.  Quick to gain understanding of  yourself and fellow travelers.  Building tolerance, strength and  grace for more forgiveness of self and others.  This is unconditional love.

 You become Actionary.  Not Reactionary.  You are willing to let go. You gain a knowing "everything is going to workout".  

 The only environment you can control is your own internal environment.  Through love of purpose you embrace the suck!  This deep internal environment gives you strength.  

 You become a Kahuna.  The all knowing.

 This takes daily practice.  Breath and  meditation work.  You go deep into your sole.  Listen.  Explore. Visualize. 

 You gain a witness of your negative self talk (fear state).  You interdict immediately  to what you witnessed.  Making a positive change in your internal environment.  You redirect with positive emotion toward solutions.  You are on constant alert to maintain the state of the witness.  Moving at light speed when you witness the negative, take immediate corrective action.  This becomes a Habit.  

 You build mental toughness. Experience joy.

Today I am walking the path to living in internal deep water.  

 This time of CV19 is a fearful and stressful time.  We are all facing the unknown.  It is hard!  It is Scary!  

 Get quiet.  Get calm! You got this!  

 Time is now to start living in deep waters!


God Bless my friends!

 Hooyah!

Manure

“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.” — Dalai Lama Funny thing manure.  It has a smell that can be down right over powering!  You immediately recognizing it when you smell it.  I was once told by a General Surgeon if you don't know Shit don't mess with it.  What he was referring to was the bowel.  If you can't fix the  issue you may find yourself  operating on, leave it to the ones who know what they are doing.  For me as a Gynecological Surgeon it meant to stay in my zip code, the pelvis when operating.  Good advice.  Stay away from shit!   In life maybe there is similar advise we should heed.    We have those people in our lives that are constantly negative. In a constant state of drama.  They are the first to tell all of the their problem(s). How bad their life is.  How bad their life smells because every day they get up and take all of the bad  and negative in their lives the "Manure"  and spre

Mother in Laws

  This past week my Mother In Law passed away.  I reflected on the her and her life.  Our relationship.  What I learned from her.   In our culture you hear a lot of negative commentary made toward relationships with ones Mother In Law. There may or may not be some truth to the lense that one may see their Mother In Law.   When I met her I got the impression she was not impressed and had genuine concern over her daughter marrying me.   For I was not the Returned Missionary she was hopping for her daughter.  I had long hair and looked like I walked out of a Poison MTV video.  I was a 4th year college student in a 2 year college working as a meat cutter/truck driver. I was not an active member of the LDS Church.  I grew up in a divorced home.   Most of my family was "Jack Mormon".  Meaning they drank coffee and known to have a cold beer on occasion.   Needless to say I did not meet the cultural standards and her expectations of a Son In Law.   I dated LDS girls before meeting my

Accountability Mirror

The Accountability Mirror.  What is it?  Goggins describes it like this:  You get up go to the mirror.  Who is looking back?   Are you seeing the person you expected?  Can you see your future Kick Ass self somewhere in the mirror?  Ask yourself "What is it going to take to get there?  What do you have to do".  Are you willing to do what it takes?  Are you willing to SUFFER?  Are you willing to get after it?  Are your willing to sacrifice? Who are You?  Are you seeing the person reflect back at you the person you think you are?  Or do you have work to do.  Are you Accountable?  Is what you do in private reflecting what you do and how you act in public? This is the starting line to your future!  Now is the time!  No longer are you looking at the wake of your life!  But setting the course from the front!  You see your future! It is Awesome! Now is the time!  The time to get it done!  Meditate.  Visualize your success! Your time has come!  Time to excel! See your fu

Healthy Eats!

Healthy Cooking Made Easy! One of the fun ways I have found to healthy eating is with the use of a Bamboo Steamer.  Easy to use and inexpensive.  It is a true KISS technique in cooking! First assemble your ingredients.  I like fresh Veggies.  Slice and dice!  Get all the prep work done.  Be creative in placement in the Bamboo steamer. If using proteins like chicken or fish I recommend a small plate in the steamer to rest the chicken or  fish on.  When using shrimp,  I like using parchment paper.  Wrap the shrimp by folding the paper up tight  and place in the Bamboo steamer.  You want to protect the Steamer from the oils of the fish and chicken.   Once the Bamboo Steamer is full, put it back together.  Get you water boiling in a pot.  Once the water is boiling, place the Bamboo steamer on top and steam  for 8 to 10 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add salt pepper and a squirt of lime juice and serve! I was able to get 2 dinners and a breakfast out of all the f

Quiet Yesterday I lost it.  It all came to a head.  Nothing big.  Just things kept building.  Sliced my thumb open while fixing my truck. Then it happened.  A full on F Attack!  I lost it.  Shouldn't have.  But I did.   Looking back I lost the WIRM.  I Should have known my frame of mind was off.  I  was for whatever reason under stress.  During my daily routine vital signs were off slightly.   So how do I learn from this?   Start with getting quiet.  Evaluating the choices and actions. Which I should have done in the moment.  Stop!  Get really still.  Get Quiet.   Start to live in the moment frame by frame.  Get in tune with emotions.   Fill your heart with love and peace.  Use the WIRM (witness, interdict, redirect, maintain).  Do not respond to the negative.  Take a deep breath.  Listen to your soul!  Close your eyes.  Slow down.  SLOW DOWN!   Slow your thoughts.  Focus on the love of self and others.  Let go!  Find joy in this monument.  Find g
