Reading the papers? Watching the news? Listening to family and friends?
Hearing all the doom and gloom?
Right now you might think that 2009 is the time to pull up the covers and hide under pillow for the rest of the year!
That’s a choice, although I suspect not the one you will make.
The fact is we can make a choose about what we attract for 2009.
Going back 75 years in his 1933 Inaugural Presidential address, in the depths of the Great Depression, Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously said: “We have nothing to fear but fear itself”.
Words for our times too.
Remember fear is in the future and fear is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Back just before Xmas, with my birthday coming up, it being a milestone and being conscious of some blockages holding me back from playing full out, I decided I wanted to do something daring.
I thought jumping out of a plane would be good and would surely conquer any fears I had, that was one option. Option two was going paragliding. Then parasailing was mentioned and this was local.
What I chose to do was to meet my fears head on was to go parasailing. The idea of being a 100 meters up in the air was not a relaxing thought, especially when Aaron gave us the pre-flight safety talk and I had to wonder how many people would get discouraged and pull out.
The actual event was actually scary but also exhilarating and when the pictures arrive I will post them here and on Suzie Cheel
This is the parasail we were attached to and after the first few minutes of wondering if I would last the 15 minutes.
It was fantastic soaring 100 meters above the water, a great sense of freedom, I felt no fear as I came down and am looking forward to doing one day it again over the sea and even paragliding.
I am also tackling lesser fears, like how can I hope to declutter the house and garage, I had great advice via twitter yesterday from Carole Fogarty
As spaces around the house become tidier and shinier and bags of clothes and boxes go to needier people I think I feel just as exhilarated as going parasailing. I am facing that fear of lack and embracing abundance.
What I am doing in Law of Attraction speak is driving out negative vibes, by creating a continuing atmosphere of positive vibes in every department of my life.
There simply isn’t space left for fear.
What fear will you face in the year ahead?
How will you create positive vibes in your life on 2009?
Will you put the Law of Attraction into Action?
I went parasailing in florida in 07…it really is something special. HOpe you have a great 09 and tackle everything you want to
I love how inspiring you are Suzie! Thank you for continuing to put out great content to help people. Some day I would like to go parasailing too. I’ll join you in stepping into 2009 without fear.
Warmly,
Col

What a profound statement about 2009, will we step into it without fear? I think so many people are acting out of fear or other negative emotions. I have been reading this book, Free Mind Free Body by D.R. Boisse about the power of your mind and how your thinking creates your reality. Very interesting to understand just how much we create our own world. You can actually read a few chapters for free at http://www.boisse.org.
Hi Abby,
Thanks for the tip about the book, Yes there are a lot of people living in fear, and acting out of fear, and that is a choice they make,
For me This hear is a year to live in joy
Hi Abby,
Thanks for the reference, title looks and feels great. As my mentor says ” I attract to my life whatever i give my attention, energy and focus to, whether positive or negative ”
Thanks for adding to the conversation
We don’t have to fear anymore in the new year. We should make some changes in life habbits as the days pass by. Set some goals to achieve in the new year you will lead to success..
