Butterflies in the Stomach

When new challenges and opportunities show up in your life, you may diagnose yourself as feeling scared when what you feel is excited. You have not been taught how to welcome the thrill of a new opportunity,and then you withdraw, indulging your anxiety instead of awakening your courage.

One way to inspire yourself to embrace the opportunities that come your way is to look more deeply into your feelings and see thatthe butterflies in your stomach or a rapidly beating heart is not necessarily a sign that you are afraid. Those same butterfly feelings can be translated as passion, curiosity, excitement, or love.
