Fear?

💕Some Questions...Ever have a fear of something you can't shake? Do you fear a situation? Maybe fear making a mistake or fear rejection, loss, and heartache? Have others in your life, or in your past, done something  to make you fear them or a situation you had with them? It's not a matter of forgiveness, but just a memory tough to re-live or face. Perhaps you fear fear? 📝
 
💬 I believe fear can be called many different things, apprehension, frustration, mistrust, loneliness, walls up mentality, and even sadness. I have felt all of those things at one point in my life. Many times it was after something bad happened but sometimes it was just a misunderstanding on my part. Either way, fear crept in without my permission! I think my biggest trigger to fear is when someone I trust doesn't come through, doesn't have my back when there's a conflict, and mostly when the unknown takes me by surprise, you know, those good ole expectations.

🍒Meal Tip: I have been eating chicken grilled or baked with steamed broccoli and brown rice. How many ways to make those three things is a challenge. I've done barbecue sauce on the chicken and butter on the rice, teriyaki sauce on the chicken and added steamed cabbage and carrots to the broccoli, even done the rice bowl with gravy. All are fabulous. Anyone have any other ideas, please post your recipe!

🏠Household Tip: I moved the pictures around on my walls in the house. It was fun rearranging the pictures, the memories and people to places where I'd see them in a fresh new way. Be daring, explore new possibilities, make new focus points in your rooms. You'll be happy you did!

🌼Parenting Tip: Kids tend to fear many things, or some kids fear nothing. It is our job, as parents to address both attitudes. My mom-in-law warned me that her son (my husband) was so fearless, he almost drown in a pool, chased a ball into the street, and jumped off high places. I had 5 kids and none of them were like that, until my last one. He walked off a pool deck and sunk to the bottom of a 5 foot deep swimming pool. My oldest child was afraid of the rain because when it did rain, we ducked down and made a dash for it. Eventually, we got our kids some umbrellas and we went out in to the rain and sang, strolled, and sometimes splashed. It eventually helped our oldest child get over her fear. Boundaries, bring them in when needed and roll them out when needed.
