Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.
Anticipation of unpleasant events creates fear. Often the actual event is less frightening than my imagination has made it. By layering emotions from past events over the current situation, I amplify the amount of fear I experience. Compassion for myself and my past quells some of my distress. Then I must realign my vision of myself rather than continue to think about the impending event. I am stable, I am capable and I have conquered many things before. I am bigger than any situation that comes in front of me. Today let me right-size myself and down-size fear.
