When in Doubt, When in Fear

When in doubt,
when in fear,
when in confusion,
when in panic,
when all you want to do
is DO something
to fix it and make it better

and make the pain go away...

STOP.

STOP YOUR HABIT.

REFUSE TO DO WHAT TAKES YOU DOWN IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

DARE TO BE WRONG.

DARE TO NOT KNOW.

DARE TO WONDER.

RE-DIRECT YOUR THINKING.

REMEMBER YOUR PURPOSE, YOUR TRUE AIM.

REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.

BE HERE, NOW.

OBSERVE.

WAIT.

NOTICE.

ARE YOU BREATHING?

WAIT.

DO NOT DO.

JUST BE.

TRUST.

KEEP STOPPING.

LET GO OF HOLDING ON.

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN...

REMEMBER THE HEAVENS ABOVE.

REMEMBER THE GROUND THAT SUPPORTS YOU.

REMEMBER THE AIR, THE WATER, THE FOOD, THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU.

LOOK INSIDE.

LET FEELINGS BE FEELINGS.

LET THOUGHTS BE THOUGHTS.

LET THE WORLD BE THE WORLD.

REALIZE EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED.

ALL IS ONE.

THE ONE IS WHOLE.

STOP INTERFERING.

FIRMLY, GENTLY RESIST AND OPPOSE RESISTANCE.

DO NOT TENSE.

DO NOT COLLAPSE.

JUST ALLOW AIMING UP.

SAY NO TO THE USUAL HABIT OF DOING.

STOP.

REALIZE THAT YOU ARE FREE, RIGHT NOW.

LET YOUR TRUE, GOOD NATURE SHINE OUT.

DO NOT INTERFERE WITH FREEDOM.

TRUST THE INWARD AND THE OUTWARD.

...SMILING.
