💜 Pushing through the fear
|
Hello, hello, I just came back home from my first bike ride to/from the supermarket. As I don't have a car at the moment, I get car rides sometimes or walk over there and take an Uber back home, or walk back home if I'm not carrying a lot of weight. I do have a bike though. But I'd never used it for light loads of groceries because of different fears I've put together over the years. So, for the past two days, I've wanted to avoid the 35-minute walk there and ride my bike instead, but fear had prevented it from happening. What do I fear, you ask? That my tires will go flat and I don't have a pump. That I will get hit by a car (I had a bike accident of certain degree once, back in Germany). That the weight of the groceries will make me lose balance. That I was going there alone and I'm used to bike riding with a friend for longer distances. You name it, there was always an excuse. So, today, at 3 pm, I understood that fear was freezing me, and although yes, I had a bad accident once, it doesn't mean it will happen again. Also, I LOVE riding my bike. I got everything ready in my backpack, got my keys, and, as I was about to leave my place, I heard my friend's bike bell ringing outside, which she does when she passes by my house (we're neighbors). I ran over to the window and told her "Oh my God, I called you in with my mind (now I know it was with my heart)" I explained the situation to her, and she said something along the lines of "I'll ride with you for a while in that direction until you feel safe". Then, as we were on the way, she said "You know what, I need some kale, so I'll go all the way to the grocery store with you." So, it was a beautiful ride bike to the grocery store with my friend, and she just "dropped me" at my place, with my groceries. And I have both the joys of the bike-ride and the gratitude for the beautiful synchronicity of her being sent my way once I stepped onto my fear. The two reminders I got were:
Maybe those reminders will serve you well today, too: You have to push through the fear to get where joy and love are; you're never alone. With a heart full of joy and gratitude, I wish you a beautiful rest of your week. Gabriela 💜 Did a friend send you this email?

Hi! While I’m working on a video about spiritual awakening for my YouTube channel, I’ve revisited the learnings and the process I just went through for almost four months—from July to October this year—which was full circle about a month ago, in early November. It felt like a character achieving another level in a game, which comes from a person who is not a gamer (but can get a little carried away playing UNO) and yet it’s the best way I could picture it right now. I was taken to face some...
Hello, my fellow adventurer, I just wanted to pass by and leave a little reminder here. A reminder that even when things look challenging, you can overcome any situation. This is a reminder that, by staying in the present moment and following your heart’s guidance of joy, peace, love, excitement, and inspiration, you’ll get closer to the wisdom that lives inside you. A reminder that staying in the present connects you to your higher version of self and the magic available for you. A reminder...
As someone who for a long time felt paralyzing fear, but whose intuition was communicating to me regularly, at some point I started wondering whether what I was feeling was an intuitive knowledge of some situation or was just fear based on my past experiences. For the hold fear had on me during that extended period of my life, my intuition didn’t get silenced per se, but its voice wasn’t passing through the veil of my fears. So, there were situations where it was screaming at me and I would...
