Studies have shown that we have about 66,000 thoughts a day, that up to 80% of those thoughts are negative and that 2/3 are fear based. So, let’s start with …
1. Fear
Fear is an extraordinarily powerful emotion. We become frozen in fear, paralyzed in panic or waterlogged in worry. One of the facts about fear that most of us fail to see is that fear itself, cannot exist in the present moment. Fear gets its power from the future. No matter what it is that we fear, it hasn’t happened yet and it is highly likely that whatever it is will never happen! Fear is an irrational thought that affects us all in one form or another and to a greater of lesser degree. How do we release fear? We get busy! We turn our attention to the present moment, we do some deep mindful breathing, and move into action … now!
2. Outcome
While we are looking at investments in the future, let’s consider how much of our energy, how many of our thoughts are focused on expectation or one particular outcome? So specific, so focused is our expectation on one particular outcome that we are closed off to the possibility of a different or even better outcome resulting from the action steps we have taken or the desires we have sent out into the universe. Attachment to outcome is a significant drain on our already strained energy and needs to be released in favor of trusting that no matter what the outcome, it will be in our highest and best interests.
3. Doubt/Uncertainty
Another energy drain that resides in the future is doubt or uncertainty. When we go
through life carrying this negative energy, we project that energy in all our words, thoughts and actions. What would a confident, doubt-free day feel like? What if we try it! We may be surprised how uplifting and light a day without doubt or uncertainty can be. If we like it, we might repeat it … as often as we like!

When we turn our attention to releasing and letting go of attachments, we can begin to open up our lives.
