If you've grown tired of
making excuses for your life and are finally ready
and willing to move in a new direction, tune in for a
"Reality Check" with
Life Coach and Author Chandra Alexander as she teaches
you an exercise for
developing courage and bravery.
1. We are all afraid when we enter unknown territory -
this is normal and
natural.
2. Exercise - "Invite the Creepies In"
a. Sit down in the middle of the floor
b. Feel what you are afraid to feel
c. Invite the "creepies" in.
d. Watch your thoughts like you would a movie.
e. Surprise - you are still alive!
3. What we are most afraid of sets us free.
4. Your self-esteem rises, the minute you stop running
and own your fears.

This daily email is an opportunity to stay
connected to what's real and true. Cutting
through to "The Real Truth" is my way of sharing
with you an inner barometer to test the
"realness" of where you are at any moment.
Having a good life is not for the weak at heart.
A cold eye is what's needed to plunge our inner
depths and for that we must be brave. Regardless
of our dysfunction, our ego must be healthy and
strong enough so that we can we be brutally
honest with ourselves. Real bravery is accepting
that the inner journey will include "uncomfortableness"
and anxiety; that there is no way to face our
demons without the willingness to meet them.
There will always be emotional pain when we
finally feel our grief and sadness, and get in
touch with a lifetime of "stuffed feelings", but
once we stop resisting what has always been
there, we experience freedom, and finally know
that suffering is optional. Here's to living in
the present moment - not the past or the future
