My Secret Fear. Are You Afraid, Too? 🙈

I just got back from upstate NY and had fun dancing to LIVE music at OPUS 40. We had a picnic overlooking the mountains and enjoyed strolling through the sculpture park. Every time I see peaks in person, it kinda looks like a movie set. Are they really THAT big? 

It was nice to check out the Woodstock and Kingston, NY area, stroll around the farmer's market (got a new tote and hot sauce), and have lunch with friends by a swimming hole. THANK YOU, NY—we had a nice time!

Now, the drive home wasn't so cool (for me). We ended up taking a different route that lead us on all these twists and turns. It was definitely out of the way. Wishing we were on the main road, I said, "Pull over. I'll drive." I'm SO GLAD Jason didn't take me up on it!

Out of nowhere, the sky opened up to the right and we were driving on the edge of a mountain (about 4,000 feet high). It felt like we were about to drive off into the clouds. Jason pulled over next to small railing that looked 6" tall to catch an amazing view of the valley.

From the side of my eye, I could tell it was a gorgeous scene, and here I am trembling in fear. I just couldn't turn my head to look. I was SO scared. Both palms got sweaty as I gripped the door handle so tightly to stabilize myself, because I literally felt like I was falling. 

Jason saw I was losing it and said, "Start tapping. It's OK, Michele. Tap on it."

For a second, I felt calm wash over me as if I was tapping (that's how powerful your mind is). I hate to say this, but then I got mad at him (even though he was so supportive) because I didn't want to face my fear. *Stomps like a six year old.* Didn't I already conquer my fear of heights at the top of the Empire State Building *AND* John Hancock Building? Nope.

When we got back to a familiar road, I tapped the whole way home. Tears were flowing and I started to feel better again!

Hey, I'm human! I have fears, too!

We all do and it's okay. When panic arises and you feel your head spinning out of control, try tapping on it. If you're not sure what to say, just talk about what's true for you. Within minutes, you'll notice a shift in your energy field. I'm amazed how it works every time.
