What is fear?

What is fear? Well, March 2020 Changed everyone’s life.

We thought all we had to do was just to wash our hands and not touch our face for 14 days and we would be fine.

we also had our national leader say that the sun would kill it so it’s pretty much not that big of a deal. and then people we know started getting it. Hell Tom Hanks got it.

We started to feel more fear. then. The question begged what are we going to do?

when are things going to go back to normal? When can my kids go to school? How am I going to pay my rent? Should I move home?

Am I gonna die alone? So much uncertainty.

But hasn’t life always been uncertain? you never know what’s gonna happen. we just thought we did.

I felt something shift in me as the quarantine started. I started to explore my spirituality and connection to the universe. Look when you boil it down we are made of the same atoms as the air. We are energy. We have energy. We are magical force fields. But COVID sent some triggers all up in this world. But this episode is not about COVID.. It's about how we deal with fear. aka stress aka anxiety.

That's what this episode is about

Since March we have started a divide as a country. Red vrs blue. Black vrs white, people unfriending an uncle because of racist comments. All of that is very real but all of that is stress. There have been social injustices since humanity was created and the injustices have been instilled because of fear. Fear drives racism, homophobia, xenophobia, arachnophobia. Why do we fear things?

from the beginning of time, people have had this fight more flee mode or freeze mode.

Now I should preface with the fact that I not a doctor though I have been a simulated patient for 7 years so I have coached over 200 medical professionals on communication skills and bedside manner. I'm not a psychologist. I am a performer. a singer, writer, and actor. I have spent my life creating characters in fictional worlds. So when the quarantine hit I started writing a short-form comedy. But, then I got scared. I got scared that I was gonna die alone so I reached out to everyone I knew and tried to connect and everyone failed me. Every single friend failed me. Because I excepted support and love that they simply weren’t capable of giving me.

The nourishment I needed could only with self-reflection. So I prayed y’all

I prayed to God, Jesus, Mother Earth, Budha, my Lil crystals Hell I even prayed to plant.
