I’m standing here staring straight at my ego dragon!

I’m so scared!

This dragon cannot be slayed.
This dragon is part of me.
She can be pacified though.
That I can move past her.

I stare into her eyes.
I see my fears.
i feel them, trembling and shimmering within my body.
I want to run,
but I want to get through.

Like a princess trapped in a tower,
I have learnt my dragon is trying to keep me safe.
My fears are telling me that the outside world is unsafe. It’s unsafe to chase after my true heart.
I should sit here and be safe like a good little princess.

I’m not going to do that!
No Prince is coming so save me from your fears.
No one can do it.

I’m going to pacify you myself, dragon.

Every fear that bubbles up, I’m going to witness, and acknowledge.

I am scared of being rejected and alone!
I am scared that I am not interesting enough to be loved!
I am scared that I will contribute nothing of value to the world!

As I speak and I see myself she starts to sleep.
I move forward into what I am creating.
Aware she is still there…

For now, she sleeps.
