Is F.O.W.O.T Controlling Your Life?
F.O.W.O.T. It's insidious and affects a huge number of people.
It undermines many behaviors and can limit our growth and development.
What is it? Fear of what others think!
How many times have you felt silly, humiliated, shamed, embarrassed or shy? Have you ever wondered what causes those feelings? Ever really delved into their source?
I hate to burst any bubbles out there but no one else is thinking about you! They are too busy worrying about what you are thinking of them!
As toddlers, we believe everything revolves around us - everything. But as we grow and mature we are supposed to let go of the egocentricity and appreciate that everyone we meet has their own stuff happening and agendas and they really don't think about us all the time! Or any of the time usually!
Sadly - for many of us, our parents breed humiliation into us as they tell us to grow up or stop being silly or point out what we have done wrong! They don't do it on purpose but those little reminders along with our parent's own F.O.W.O.T, mean that as teenagers we are convinced that the entire universe - not just people - is focused on our every move! LOL.

We had to focus on the area around our hearts, and place ourselves inside the space in our hearts. I was skeptical about my ability to put myself in my 'heart space' - but I joined in and WOW - it was an amazing experience. I 'landed' in a vast, peaceful, loving, joyful space that I can only describe as illuminated, iridescent black velvet. It was sooo blissful! Read more...
