From Fear to Flow: How I Let Go and Found my True Abundance💸 —🌟What Nature Taught Me About Trust and Letting Go
There’s something funny about fear. It looks massive from afar—like a grey nurse shark in the deep—but when you get close, it’s often just a sleepy giant, doing its thing, while you're the one panicking in the wetsuit.
This month in the KonMari Club, we’re talking about 💸money. And oof—money fear might be the slipperiest of all. It’s not loud like a crashing wave or obvious like a steep snowboard slope. It’s sneaky. It shows up as anxiety, overworking, or hoarding things “just in case.” But here’s what I know now: that fear is an illusion. And this truth didn’t come from a finance book. It came from some very real, very messy, and sometimes hilarious life lessons.
Let me take you back.
🌲 2014: The Pretty Beach Revelation
It was Easter. We packed in a rush—just a tent, a portable stove, and not much else. No five-star hotel, no schedule, no excess. We landed at Pretty Beach, and I had one of the most fulfilling holidays of my life. The air was crisp, the trees whispered peace, and for the first time, I felt truly free.
That trip shook something loose in me. I was raised in China with the strong message that more money = more success = more happiness. My parents, my culture, society—they all nudged me toward “more.” But here I was, camping with the bare basics, and feeling deeply rich. Not in dollars, but in experience, presence, and joy.
I realized something wild: to live a beautiful, meaningful life in Australia, I didn’t need to chase a fortune. I just needed to let go of the belief that I had to.
🏂 2015: Face the Slope, Don’t Flee
Ah, snowboarding. Romantic in theory, brutal in practice—especially when your instinct is to lean back when afraid.
First run down, I panicked at the speed, shifted my weight backward... and boom. Lost balance. Fell hard. Over and over. My coach, bless him, said something I’ll never forget:
“When you’re scared, lean forward. Face the hill. That’s how you stay upright.”
It made no sense to my survival brain, but it made all the difference. And not just on the snow. It became a metaphor:
The only way through fear is into it.
Lean in. Trust gravity. Trust yourself. It’s terrifying—until it’s empowering.
🌊 2016: The Reef, the Rip, and a Realization
Snorkeling became my therapy. The ocean became my temple. I’d swim for hours, sometimes alone, mesmerized by coral gardens and curious fish.
One day, I was so engrossed in following a school of big fish, I drifted too close to the reef. Suddenly, a wave crashed down. I tried to swim out, felt the pull, panicked—this is it, I thought.
And then... I remembered: rip current 101. Don't fight. Stay calm.
I stopped. Breathed. And then I saw it—a shadow of rocks between the waves, barely beneath me. That’s when it clicked: the water wasn’t even a meter deep. I stood up and started laughing.
My fear of drowning had almost drowned me. And the reality? I was never in real danger. Fear had distorted everything. Again.
🦈 2017: Sharks, Serenity, and Perspective
Nothing quite resets your nervous system like scuba diving with adult grey nurse sharks. These weren’t cute reef fish. These were apex predators. 2–3 meters long, thick-bodied, majestic—and weirdly... serene.
They floated slowly, sleepily, in the vicinity of rocky reefs. I was close enough to see their nictitating membranes—special eyelids—close and open. So flexible, so alien, so fascinating.
And you know what I felt? Awe. Not fear. Total stillness. Like I was part of something ancient and sacred.
In that moment, I realized:
Fear shrinks when you dare to confront it.
💸 Scarcity, You’re Not the Boss of Me Anymore💸
I never really lived with a scarcity of money. But you wouldn’t know that if you looked at how I worried. I inherited a deep fear of not having “enough”—even when I always had what I wanted.
But through these moments—camping, snowboarding, snorkeling, diving—I began to see through it. Scarcity isn’t about numbers. It’s about beliefs.
Scarcity told me to hustle harder. To hoard. To keep striving.
But I’ve said goodbye to that voice.
Now, I know money is simply a reflection of how I invest my time and energy. It’s not a threat. It’s a flow. And I’ve stopped chasing it from fear—I let it flow to me as I create value, give generously, and live in alignment.

🌿 我如何直面恐惧
——并对“金钱匮乏”的幻觉说再见
恐惧，真是个古怪的家伙。
远看像庞然大物，走近才发现——它不过是个懒洋洋的大个子，而你却在自己吓自己。
这个月在 KonMari Club，我们聊到一个很多人内心都不愿提起的话题：
💸 “钱不够用怎么办？”
说实话，这个问题我也问过自己。问得太久了。
直到人生里发生了这四件事——我才真正从“匮乏感”里醒过来。
🌲 2014 · Pretty Beach 觉醒
假期露营让我意识到：简单，也可以富足。
那年复活节，我们匆忙准备，只带了个帐篷和便携炉，就出发了。
没有安排好行程、也没有高档装备，
但我过了人生中最快乐、最自由的假期。
我第一次感受到：
“原来我并不需要很多钱，也能活得富足。”
这和我从小在中国受的教育完全不同。
家人、社会、文化一直告诉我：“要努力挣钱”“多就是好”。
但那次旅行告诉我：
自然、宁静、简单的生活，是我真正渴望的富足。
🏂 2015 · 滑雪教会我：
别逃避斜坡——重心向前，才能稳住自己。
第一次玩单板滑雪，我很害怕。
速度一快，我下意识地向后仰，结果摔了个狗吃雪。
教练对我说了一句话，让我记了一辈子：
“你害怕的时候，更要往前倾！面对它，别躲。”
虽然违反本能，但我试了——果然不再摔了。
这不只是运动技巧，更是人生哲学：
真正的平衡来自面对恐惧，而不是逃避它。
🌊 2016 · 暗流 & 顿悟
恐惧制造幻觉，冷静才看清真相。
我爱上了浮潜，常常自己一个人去。
那天，我在熟悉的海滩浮潜，太专注看鱼，没注意到自己靠近了浪区的礁石。
🌊 一道大浪打过来，我慌了。
本能地想往回游，却感觉水的力量大得惊人。
我差点做出危险的决定，直到我强迫自己冷静下来。
这时，我看到——
海浪之间露出一片礁石的影子。
水，原来还不到一米深！
我一脚踩地，站了起来，开始笑。笑自己差点被“幻觉”吓坏。
我学会了：
慌乱来自内心，而不是环境本身。
🦈 2017 · 与鲨共舞
敬畏之中，恐惧自动退场。
第一次在 Broughton岛下潜，和一群成年灰护士鲨共处。
它们长达 2–3 米，身形庞大，动作却格外缓慢。
我靠得很近，甚至能看到它们的瞬膜（nictitating membrane）
在不同方向滑动——灵活得令人惊叹。
我本以为会害怕，却只感到：
宁静。敬畏。和一种前所未有的连接感。
那一刻，我明白了：
恐惧，会在你鼓起勇气面对时自然缩小。
💸 金钱匮乏，只是一种幻觉
事实上，我从来没有真正缺过钱。
但我却常常焦虑，总觉得“还不够”。
这是我成长环境中根深蒂固的信念。
直到我经历了这些事，才明白：
“匮乏感”不是现实的问题，而是心态的问题。
钱是能量的流动，是我投入时间和价值之后的自然回报。
我不再害怕金钱的流动，不再追逐它，而是让它自由地来去。
💡 你准备好，放下你的恐惧了吗？
如果你也曾：
对金钱焦虑
害怕“断舍离”之后没有保障
不敢放下累赘，迈向自由生活
