HOW DO I ACTIVATE MY ROOT CHAKRA - Courage - 1st Chakra. How to Free Yourself from the Cycle of Social Fear. “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore” ~André Gide A few months ago, I received a gift from my brother while on a vacation in the United States.
He was giving each one of us a small token of stone with words carved on them. Mine was etched “courage.” The stone reminded me of my struggles on self-esteem—in the past and the present. I pull strength from my courage to face the challenges of each day. Getting to where I am now was not an easy task. The Cycle of Social Fear The earliest memories of my childhood had to do with being in one corner of the classroom watching all the other kids playing while I stood watching. I would sit all day long if there was no instruction to do otherwise. I do not remember exactly what was going on in my mind. I wanted to interact but I did not manage to do so because I was caught in the vicious cycle of social fear: Decide to Step out of the Cycle Now ask yourself: Why do I want to overcome this? Overcome Shyness. The art of self-forgiveness. Everyone messes up. Me, you, the neighbors, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, King David, the Buddha, everybody.
It’s important to acknowledge mistakes, feel appropriate remorse, and learn from them so they don’t happen again. But most people keep beating themselves up way past the point of usefulness: they’re unfairly self-critical. Inside the mind are many sub-personalities.

With the support of your inner protector, you can see your faults clearly with fearing that will drag you into a pit of feeling awful, clean up whatever mess you’ve made as best you can, and move on. How? Here we go: May you be at peace. Healing Depression by Taking Care of Your Mind, Body, and Spirit. “Suffering is not caused by pain but by resisting pain.”
~Unknown Prior to my twenty-second birthday I was spiraling down a self-destructive path, partying at all hours of the morning and drinking excessively to numb my pain. I was a rebel with a cause, as the lure of the nightlife kept me away from my dysfunctional home. I was searching for love and happiness in all of the wrong places, but the universe stopped me dead in my tracks, both literally and figuratively, when my brother committed suicide. Devastated by the loss of his presence in my life and the close bond we once shared, I felt utterly alone. I couldn’t fathom my life without my beloved brother. His death was not something I anticipated. I needed answers and some sort of explanation as to how a happy-go-lucky young man had changed into a moody and depressive person.

In order to lose the weight, you needed to lead a very disciplined and focused lifestyle. A great body is not just a thing you have; it is a lifestyle you lead.
