04 Love Not Fear - When Holding Back Is Love

On day four of the thirty-day 'Living From Love and Not Fear' experiment, Liz discovers an important lesson: sometimes stepping back, rather than stepping forward, is the truest expression of love. There is often a strong urge to rescue or fix what’s struggling, but today Liz learns that holding back can sometimes be the most compassionate choice.

I’ve recently learnt the hard way about stepping back in love, rather than charging forward to “rescue” and upsetting someone close to me unintentionally! Thank you Liz 🙏🏽💕

Thank you, Liz. Living from love is turning up for me as acceptance: ‘let it be’ or ‘just be (it)’ (instead of Nike’s slogan ‘just do it’). I seem to almost always be in a doing, solving or explaining mode. The acceptance is showing up as it’s okay to ‘not know’ and to just sit and say to myself: I’m here and that’s enough for now.

I loving the simplicity of having this as a mantra, every day. Yesterday the mantra gave me permission to connect with people. I'm finding opportunities to give arise, a cup of coffee with someone who's been struggling, a missing ingredient to a friend who was cooking, a home made cake to say thank you. The day felt full of abundance including towards myself.
I love your sharing that inspires me to continue experimenting and experiencing the 3 Principles 🙏🏼.

This is a wonderful experiment, thank you Liz for including us. It took me the first two days to really grasp the way to live each day consciously from love rather than fear and I returned to Day 1 several times. Now I awaken and start each day with a sort of affirmation confirming to myself that today will be lived from love and I carry that into my early morning walk with Billy dog and that seems to set the intention in my mind and choices.
