WHEN FEAR TAKES THE WHEEL (AND HOW TO TAKE YOUR POWER BACK)

How we give our power away and how to gently reclaim it.

A lot of fear has been coming up for me lately, but I keep receiving the same invitation.

Trust the unfolding — the great, unnamed mystery of being alive.

Because when life feels uncertain, the reflex is almost automatic.

We reach for control, for answers, for anything that might restore a sense of safety. But often, there’s no answer waiting to be found.

There’s only the unknown.

And humans don’t love the unknown. We get wobbly there.

Like children standing at the edge of something we can’t yet see, trying to predict what comes next so we can brace ourselves.

But the truth is this: you are not meant to know.

You’re meant to trust.

Trust yourself.

Trust life.

Trust timing.

Trust the quiet, unseen support that surrounds you, even when nothing in front of you proves it.

Trust is the doorway out of fear and back into love.

When you’re staring into the unknown while hurting, wondering whether things will ever change, whether this moment will stretch on forever, fear steps in and takes the wheel.

And without noticing, you hand your power over.

Fear becomes the one leading your days.

Your body moves through routines, but part of you isn’t there. Part of you is bracing, watching, waiting for impact.

That’s what disembodiment looks like.

Trust is how you come home.

It’s how you reclaim your presence, your power, your wholeness.

When you choose trust, you gather your energy back into yourself.

You stop leaking it into imagined futures and worst-case scenarios.

You become a contained, embodied system again — grounded, here, alive.

Because you can’t control what’s out there. You can’t control the future.

But you can choose the state you live from – fear or trust.

So much of life pulls us away from our true essence, which is love.

And every challenge, every rupture, every moment of not-knowing is designed to guide us back there.

Still, the ego usually speaks first, it defaults to fear. And that’s not because it’s broken.

In Kabbalah, the ego isn’t the enemy, it’s the teacher.

It’s the part of us that reveals where mastery is being asked for.

Every trigger is a training.

Every moment of contraction is an invitation to shift perspective.

So, the real question becomes:

What lens are you looking through?

Fear or trust?

Blame or love?

Control or surrender?

The greatest gift you can give yourself is this moment of honesty:

“I’m scared. I feel it. I don’t know what’s coming.”

And then, gently but firmly:

“But I’m not letting fear run my life. I choose trust.”

Every time you do this, you retrain your system.

You teach your ego not to dominate, but to support your embodiment.

It takes practice.

And thankfully, life is generous with opportunities.

There’s so much instability right now — in the world, and in our personal lives.

So much uncertainty.

So much we cannot predict.

Which means there are endless chances to strengthen this muscle.

To move from fear into trust.

To become more present, more regulated, more embodied.

And when you do this, truly, it doesn’t just change your inner world. It helps stabilise those around you.

Your presence becomes a gift. Your nervous system an anchor. And everyone you touch feels it, whether they know why or not.

So maybe this is the real work right now.

Not figuring it all out.

Not strategising.

Not bracing for what’s next.

But softening into this moment.

Surrendering to the unknown.

Breathing, feeling your feet on the ground, remembering that you are held.

You don’t need certainty to live well.

You need trust.

And you can choose it, again and again, every day, every moment.

Whenever you need.
