Terrorism is in the news again. The raid on Osama bin Laden\u2019s compound uncovered a plot to sabotage the tracks on the NYC subway system. Listening to the news we hear about error plots, hate, stepping up security and other words\/concepts that can spread fear. Living in NYC we probably hear it more, since my city seems to be the biggest target that terrorists want to hit. All of this terrorism talk can scare a girl if she allows it to happen!<\/p>\n

Am I scared? Not a bit!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s my choice to let fear affect me or to trust that I\u2019ll be okay, no matter how scary the warnings sound. And it\u2019s your choice to let the terrorism messages scare you or to trust that you\u2019ll be okay.<\/strong> Of course some of the reports can sound scary. I sometimes react when I hear them and feel ouch, that\u2019s awful to think about. But instead of worrying, I STOP THINKING ABOUT IT! Since our thoughts, and the emotions behind them, determine our reality, I try not to think about the possibility of a terrorist plot in my city and affirm that I’m safe.<\/p>\n

Believing that I\u2019m safe, no matter what the news says, keeps me safe. Believing that you\u2019re safe, no matter what the news says, keeps YOU safe.<\/p>\n

You have to believe on an emotional level. Saying, \u201cI know I\u2019m safe\u201d while you worry on the inside doesn\u2019t support your safety. You truly must believe it. Strong faith helps you do that. I truly believe that God is watching out for me because I expect him to. So the Law of Attraction helps me attract safety. When you believe\u2014on an emotional level\u2014that God or whatever higher power you believe in will keep you safe, life is good.<\/p>\n

You’re as safe as you think you are!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know people who moved out of NYC because they were scared. That\u2019s their choice. I choose to stay here, and I live in the heart of a targeted area\u2014near the UN and the Citicorp building. I know I’m safe. Fear hurts you when you let it. But you can CHOOSE to not buy into the fear\u2014the \u201cwhat ifs?\u201d of what might happen IF the terrorists strike. I can\u2019t say that they won\u2019t ever strike NY but I do believe I won\u2019t be nearby or hurt IF it happens.<\/p>\n

Living in fear hurts your whole life, your health and can attract negatives that might otherwise not come to you.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how I combat the fear messages. When the news reports go on and on about possibilities, I change the channel. I rarely read articles about terrorist activities. There\u2019s no worth in listening to what might happen, over and over. There are certain reporters who find positive aspects and look for improvement so I listen to them more. And I affirm from my heart that I\u2019m safe.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let terrorist threats get to you. It\u2019s not worth the aggravation it causes and attracts to you.<\/p>\n

Have faith in your being safe. Put yourself into the hands of your higher power. It\u2019s been 10 years since 9\/11. If you let fear after that stay with you, you hurt 10 years of your life. When you live from moment to moment instead of projecting ahead, fears can\u2019t germinate into terror. Relax and enjoy each day in faith.<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1627"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1631,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627\/revisions\/1631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
