03: Scary Is A Good Thing

from Design Yourself

In Episode 3, Sharon explores one of the fiercest barriers to going after what we really want: Fear. Ideas Shared: Here are the two types of Good Scary that I most commonly see happening to us: Scary New – How can I possibly? I never have before! Scary Change – What? Me? Do something different? Never! Scary Good Challenge: When it comes to leading a life that makes you wildly happy/fulfilled/delighted – what are you afraid of? Another way to think of this is: What is holding you back from going after what you really want? How to Embrace the Good Scary: Step 1: Name and acknowledge the Good Scary. Step 2: Lean into that fear in small ways. Stretch your comfort level. Step 3: Ask yourself what emotion might help serve as a counter balance to fear. Step 4: Exercise courage. Resources and Links: So this Bad Scary stuff is real. Curious to learn more about how fear works when we are faced with Bad Scary? Geek out over here and learn a bit more about the neuroscience.
