This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of being mindful of your fears (today and every day).
Comment from Marie: Being mindful, being present, being in the moment... all these things simply mean having our attention on where we are and what we are doing... rather than our mind tripping around in memories of the past (whether imagined or real), and/or imaginings or fears of the future.
The key to inner peace and feeling safe and secure is to focus on the present moment and be aware of what actually is taking place in the moment... not based on memories, assumptions, or fears. Dropping the ruminations of the fear-based-mind is a great liberator.

The focus for today is:
I feel confident to face my fears,
and become more mindful of my reactions.
Today's inspiration was written by Denise Mange:
To walk securely in the world, we must move beyond viewing it as a perilous place and find ways to ground ourselves in feelings of safety. Just like our pets when they face an unexpected trigger, like a skateboard across the street or another dog rounding a corner, we can misconstrue something unexpected to be a severe threat.
When stuck in a disempowering mindset, we may perceive something minor as an existential threat, leading to anxiety and exacerbated reactions to triggers. But when we feel confident to face our fears, we can be more mindful of our reactions.
How do you react to fear and lack of control? Realize that the feeling of safety and security is a multifaceted element that influences every aspect of your life, from relationships to job security. By focusing on feeling safe and secure in another area of your life, you can parlay that energy to address broader life challenges.
