Honor the courage within you

When we think of courage we spontaneously imagine an immense and heroic force like that of warriors who fight. Mythological heroes facing great trials of mothers defending their children. In reality, you don't have to be brave only to accomplish big things, but also to face emotions, situations, and thoughts that worry us or frighten us.

I personally believe that having courage means seeing a mountain in front of you and deciding not to stop, but to continue the climb. On the way, being brave means continuing to climb that mountain even when adversity makes walking difficult.

Having courage means choosing what is right and not what is easy. Chasing one's dreams and facing fears, not betraying one's ideals and above all welcoming all emotions including uncomfortable ones. Inside each of us, there is an immense force, but too often we forget to possess this great resource and end up being trapped in the web of fear and victimization.

Here are some exercises to recognize and develop the courage present within each of us.

The first exercise is to recognize and welcome fear. There is nothing wrong with being afraid. You must not reject fear and consider it as an enemy. Your fears are a great opportunity because they allow you to celebrate your heroism.

Take a sheet of paper and write down your fears. It may seem trivial, but the mere fact of writing them takes away their power. The next step is to think of a series of actions that can make your fears disappear. Start with the less strong one, then move on to the others. For example, if you are afraid of dogs, start familiarizing yourself with your acquaintance's dog.

No heroic gestures are needed, only small actions that can make you feel stronger. Once you have overcome even one fear, you will see that you will feel stronger and braver. At this stage, you can also ask for help from the archangel Michael and of course your guardian angel. Knowing that they are next to you will immediately make you feel more courageous.

The second exercise is to follow your dreams. Being brave also means taking the first step to achieving the life you want so much: changing jobs, leaving a non-functional relationship, etc.

Spend at least an hour a day to make your dream come true. Do not postpone yet, immediately begin to walk the path of change. You can start by writing down what you want to accomplish and the necessary steps. If you have any doubts about the actions to do, ask the archangel Uriel for help, who will show you the step to take.

The third and final exercise is to recognize your strength and greatness. There is no failure, there are only different results from those expected. Often what we call bankruptcy can turn into an opportunity.

Retrace your life and take note of everything you have accomplished. Above all, try to remember the path taken to achieve your goals and the courage and strength that you showed on those occasions. Take advantage of past experiences and when you feel stuck in fear, remember those moments and act.

Recognize and honor the courage within you and remember that you are valiant simply by showing yourself to the world in all your beauty and uniqueness.
