Overcoming Your Fears, Self-Doubt and Insecurities

Today let’s talk about fear, self-doubt, insecurities and how to bust through them so you can be a better animal communicator.

Helen Mirren (actress) said:

“Don’t be afraid of fear. Don’t let fear rule you. For the moments when you’re challenged by fears like:
Am I good enough?
Am I smart enough?
Will I fail?
Look fear straight in it’s ugly face and barge forward. When you get past it, turn around and give it a good swift kick in the a$$.”

Brilliant! I couldn’t have said it better myself!

How does overcoming your fears, self doubts, and insecurities make you a better animal communicator?

Because busting through fears, self-doubt, and insecurities is a critically important step on your way to becoming a competent, proficient communicator.

This is exactly what we’ve been working with our Healing Feelings Masterclass series.

Why? Because otherwise you will block or misinterpret animal messages through the filter of your own wounds.

And because even though animals understand feelings, they don’t much appreciate it when you push your emotional “mess” onto them. It’s like taking your trash to your friend’s house and dumping it all out on their freshly cleaned kitchen floor. Then they have to clean it up.

It’s your job to heal yourself and clear your doubts and insecurities.

Good communication isn’t all about YOU.

Have you ever talked with someone and all they could talk about was themselves? You couldn’t even get a word in edgewise? After awhile, you kind of give up or zone out, or just leave, tune out, disconnect.

What if you had something really important to say, but they can’t hear a word? That doesn’t feel good. And that’s the animal’s experience too when you do it to them.

It’s a multi way conversation, a meeting of the hearts and minds.

There’s some good to come out of this experience that you can use to become a much better communicators.

Once you’ve healed and learned how to move beyond the fears, insecurities and self doubts, then when you work with animals (or their people) who are themselves fearful, insecure or need healing, you’ll know exactly how to help them too.

But not if you haven’t done the work yourself.

There’s a funny but not so fun thing to know about fears, insecurities, and painful emotions like these…

The longer you stew in fearful, anxious, worry energy… the more of that you will attract into your life.

And those experiences you attract and create will give you more “reasons” to be even more fearful, anxious and worried, which attracts and creates more of those experiences, and so on.

It’s a catch 22 situation because what you focus on expands.

In the Heart Wisdom Method of Animal Communication, I teach students to shift out of the mind and into the “heart” Soul space when you connect to communicate.

The need to release and heal inner wounds is why we focus so much on HEALING in the Heart Method too.

That’s also why the way I say that this is a spiritual journey to becoming your best self, living your best life.

Knowledge is learning something new every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day. ~ Zen Proverb

Let me give you an example from my own life’s journey.

Personally when I’m struggling with something like fear, I often find that many of my clients or students show up struggling with similar situations and experiences.

At first it was disconcerting, very “in my face” kind of experiences.

It happened over and over and over until I realized something.

That’s quite the gift and lesson!

Because they were acting as my mirror, giving me opportunities to help them through it and in the process, I was healing myself too.

When I healed and released my fears, worries and doubts, then everything changed and I started attracting different students and clients struggling with other things.

And so it goes.

As they say, if you want to master something, try teaching it.

You’ll quickly figure out what you know and can explain, and what bits you’re missing. 😉

So…

If you are stopping yourself from practicing communicating with animals to improve your skills because of fear, insecurity, or self-doubt, your job is to heal yourself.

If it’s because you are afraid of what animals might say OR because you’re afraid you’ll get it wrong OR because you think you’re not good enough OR you’re afraid you might fail OR… (fill in the blank with whatever else you’re telling yourself about why you can’t do this), then it’s time to heal.

Fears come from beliefs and thoughts.

Feelings (emotions) follow thoughts, and energy follows feelings.

How you do one thing is how you do everything.

So if fear is in your way, blocking you from thriving and succeeding in becoming a better communicator and living your best life, then it’s time to barge through it.

For instance, students sometimes worry they’ll make things worse, so they don’t even try.

They say, “I’m afraid I will somehow make the situation worse or something bad will happen and it will be my fault and people will blame me, so I don’t even try.”

“I’m afraid of something harmful happening to me and my pets and them suffering or passing on.”

“I have a feeling that I can never do this, so I stop myself from practicing.”

“I don’t know what is stopping me from communicating with animals but I feel I need to be better before I try.”

Here’s how to deal with that.

How will you get better if you don’t even try?

If you’re stopping yourself before you’ve even begun, how is that helpful?

How are you serving others and yourself to the highest good for all concerned?

What if you’re awesome and you just blocked yourself from helping someone because of your fears?

So what if you make a mistake when you practice?

You’re practicing! That’s the best time to learn from your mistakes so you can improve and get better.

Would an Olympic level athlete or Wimbledon tennis player get where they are if they never practiced because they were afraid of making a mistake?

That’s all mind talk focusing on fear based beliefs and the emotions that follow those thoughts, the bits that drain you, distract and block you from having what you want.

SOUL (heart) talk is where all things are possible.

Fear and negative self talk don’t belong there.

LOVE energy is what you’ll discover when you let the fears go and connect to your Soul, and heal your heart.

That’s where the magic happens.

That’s when you see an animal and instantly connect, enjoy fascinating conversations, about anything, anywhere, anytime.

It’s where you are already connected, and where you share love and information freely.

This is important because when you barge through the fear and kick it in the pants, you’ll discover that everything you want is on the other side.

In our safe, big hearted, animal loving community, nobody is judging you except yourself. We work hard to create and maintain a super safe, loving space.

It’s a no judgement zone.

In our Heart School of Animal Communication® community, we ALL want each other to succeed in improving, and we learn from each other.

Practicing with other people’s pets in a safe space with like minded colleagues where you can get proper feedback and guidance to grow your skills, discover what you don’t know yet, and learn from your mistakes is HOW you improve.

• Show up.
• Practice.
• Learn.
• Grow.
• Heal.
• Evolve.
• Bust through the fears.

Explore what works and what isn’t working well for you so far, then get expert guidance to improve.

Learn from what you discover, ask for help and get answers to your questions in the Live Q&A Coaching Calls and Masterclasses, and try again.

For instance…

In every case of mentoring, training, and coaching students through their stuck fear spots, they’ve happily kicked their fears to the curb once they’ve barged through them to the other side.

Then they say things like:

“My attitude is shifting from an unconscious feeling that I can never do this to a more practical determination to practice until I can. I can already feel the difference, and I can’t wait to talk to more animals now. This is exciting! I don’t know why I was so afraid.”

“Wow I had the most amazing conversation with an animal today, it was wonderful. And it happened so effortlessly too.”

“I felt so good when I shared what I got when I practiced talking with an animal, and their person confirmed what I got. It turned out to be exactly right. Even better, the message I got make a huge difference for them, I’m so glad I could help.”

This work is the most rewarding and fulfilling thing I’ve ever done.

And that’s how you do it!

Give it a go and see what changes.

I enjoyed the 3 classes on the paranormal, and have started on the Advanced Healing Techniques … going through them once before I go back to make notes… then I’m eager to move onto the others!”

“I stumbled on your site through a list of animal communicators. Some held occasional live classes, others had recorded classes but no one else offered a live school. After taking two short term classes, I knew I needed an ongoing community to hone my skills. Your School provides that and so much more. I continue to be amazed at the depth and breadth of the information provided.”
