Fear...
By: Connie J..., May 25, 2026
In our world, fear is a very common feeling.
It's kinda getting scarier day by day. How can we not be overtaken by it?
After 9/11, I battled some very strong fears - including a small plane flying overhead, when I was walking down the street, in my small town.
That whole Covid debacle - they shut down the world!!!
Then, I lived through the Derailment. I feel fear every day - wondering if I'll get sick.
All of these bring up valid fears - but what am I supposed to do? Sit in a corner and chew on my hair??! Ineffective coping mechanism, right?
But what CAN I do? Face them - talk to people, even a professional if need be.
Remember, we ALL have the choice of our REACTION to our fears - we can let them paralyze us; or motivate us into action, EVERY DAY.
What will YOU choose?

You ever feel that way, especially in a heated debate? Don't know about you, but when that happens, my brain is usually telling my mouth to hush - but it just keeps on going. Sound familiar? My personal goal has been to practice silence - you do have to pick your battles, because there are people that will argue with you about the sky being blue!!! Also, if you're dealing with a narcissistic person - you will not win. So, depending on the relationship - do you value being right, or value that relationship? Choices must always be made; and it takes contemplation BEFORE you're in a "battle". What are YOUR thoughts on this? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

Regarding my word for 2026 - Building - I have been watching YouTube videos, every morning, evening and on my lunch breaks. Covering everything from building wealth in Retirement with Warren Buffet - to growing my life-skills with Mel Robbins, and her variety of guests on her podcasts. I am seeking my life "what next", for when I plan to retire within the next 5 years. While on this quest, everything I take in, I glean a little bit. Learning things the "traditional way" - via formal education, has NEVER been strong suit. I have actually been sharing some of what I've been learning with people I'm around every day - and it's coming out making sense. Normally, that only happens when I write, and correct, etc. Who knows where this will go - I'm going to just keep learning this new information; and blending it with things I have always known, because of what I've been through in my life. Stay tuned...what's next??! We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

It's hard, sometimes, to remember there are a MINIMUM of two sides to every story. When you factor in the truth, the incredibly creative fiction a mind can come up with, plus there is each individual's perspective - any situation can get blown out of proportion so fast, it's not even funny!!! Sometimes, the best thing a person can do is step back, close your mouth, and wait for the smoke to clear. It's hard to do - but if you don't, it can evolve to even bigger problems than were there, to begin with. What do YOU think??? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

...so difficult??! I have mentioned that 2025, was a year of struggle; though I had one, of two of the BEST vacations, in my life. I spent over half the year trying to "start up", again; based on internal focus and structure that I had been building for roughly 10 years. FINALLY, after struggling for months - the words, "Start Over" appeared. The good news, is, that I wasn't starting over at ground zero. I was able to lay out a plan - it takes a minute (or seven), or at least 30 days of consistency, to build a good habit. I will let you know when I've arrived.

...your thought processes can give you a WHOLE NEW perspective on life. One example, "Why does everything bad happen to me??!"; maybe change to, "Is there some life-lesson I am supposed to be learning from all of these things that seem to keep happening to me?" Another reframe could be, "Are things happening to me because of choices I keep making, over and over?" Basically, reframing is asking yourself questions in a more productive way. It breaks that negative thought-loop, and makes a path to move forward out of that stuck feeling. The goal is NOT to ignore your feelings; or just wish they would go away. Your feelings are ALWAYS valid - but sometimes it's the shade of light in which you see them. Reframing can change that "tone/color pallet". What do YOU think? Can you see just one thought process in your life, that could use a little "reframing"? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.
