Fear Is Not Your Name: 9 Spirit-Led Ways to Reclaim Your Power
Share
Let’s be real—fear has tried to rob every woman I know. Fear of failing. Fear of shining too brightly. Fear of being abandoned when we speak our truth. And sometimes? Just fear of fear itself.
But hear me clearly: Fear is a thief—but only if you let it sit at your table.
We’re not entertaining fear anymore. We are naming it, claiming our peace, and showing it the exit.
Here are nine ways to reclaim your voice, your rhythm, and your sacred movement through life:
🌿 1. Separate the Illusion from Reality
Fear thrives in distortion. So pause and ask: What are the actual facts of this situation?
Strip the story of “what if” and root into “what is.” When you separate truth from imagination, fear loses its grip.
🔥 2. Identify the Root Trigger
Your spirit is not reacting randomly—there’s a pattern, a wound, a memory underneath it.
Trace it. Ask: What moment, word, or situation is waking up this fear in me?
Identifying the root helps you heal—not just manage—the reaction.
🌺 3. Listen to Your Body’s Alarm System
Fear doesn’t just whisper in your mind—it echoes in your body.
Do your shoulders tighten? Does your breath shorten? Does your belly twist?
These are invitations to return home to yourself. Learn the language your body uses to call for peace. And give her what she needs—stretching, stillness, breath, or release.
🌞 4. Practice Devotional Gratitude
Even in chaos, Spirit always leaves breadcrumbs of beauty.
Every morning, list 3 things you’re grateful for. Say them aloud. Make it a ritual.
Gratitude realigns your nervous system to expectancy, not anxiety.
🧖🏽♀️ 5. Speak Life Over Yourself—Out Loud
Your inner voice sets the thermostat for your courage.
Would you speak to your sister the way you speak to yourself? If not, shift it.
Replace self-doubt with sacred affirmations:
- “I walk in wisdom and power.”
- “I am fully supported by the Divine.”
- “Fear does not run this temple.”
🌊 6. Reframe the Fear with a New Story
When fear rises, remind yourself:
This emotion is temporary. This moment will pass.
Visualize the outcome you desire, not the pain you fear. Turn the page. Rewrite the narrative. You are not stuck—you’re in process.
☀️ 7. Choose a New Lens—One Thought at a Time
Your perception is your portal. What you choose to believe becomes the energy you live in.
Practice: take one recurring fearful thought and reverse it. Just one. Do it daily.
Like strengthening a muscle, this becomes your new emotional reflex.
🌬️ 8. Breathe Like You Mean It
Fear disrupts your breath. And breath is the life force.
Start your mornings with 5 slow, conscious breaths.
Try this rhythm: Inhale deep for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6.
Return to it any time fear creeps in—it’s your sacred reboot.
🛖 9. Create a Sanctuary Within
When you create safety, fear has nowhere to root.
Design a physical or energetic safe space—your altar, your bedroom, your bathtub, or even the sound of ocean waves in your mind.
Enter it when you feel overwhelmed. In your safe space, speak to fear like this:
“I see you. But I no longer serve you. You may go now.”
🌹 Sis, hear me: You are not your fear. You are the one who outlives it. You are the ancestor someone prayed for. You’re walking with divine backup.
Let this be your year of unshakable courage. Share these strategies, pass the torch, and remind every woman around you—
We were born to rise. Not tiptoe around what scares us.
And when fear knocks on your door next time?
Answer with your journal, your breath, your herbal tea, your anointing oil—
and your whole divine self smiling back.
