EP 24: What I learned from facing my fear

Have you ever felt frozen in place by fear?  Has it ever kept you from going after something you want or trying something new?  Most of us have experienced this.  But I believe the truth is we want to be women who acknowledge fear and press forward anyway.  We long to be women who aren't held back in any way because we are free from the prison fear keeps us locked in. It is time to recognize how brave we are by stepping forward despite fear to go after the lives we love.  Get ready to kick fear in the teeth and do the thing fear has kept us from for far too long. Many of the women I have walked with have been held prisoner by fear. They have allowed it to keep them small, safely tucked in a comfort zone even as their soul longed for something new. Fear is real. The voices in our minds can get noisy, and they often take a grain of truth and inflate it to an epic size that we can’t see a way around. But there is a way forward. We are going to do this in a three-step process: Acknowledge what it is you fear Consider the root or origin of this emotion Take a breath and then ACT by making a small step toward where you want to move ACT on these three steps and you will learn to face the fear and move forward anyway so you are never held prisoner to fear again. Select one area where you know fear exists and examine it. Just state what is true without judgment.  Choose one thing you can do this week to face fear and move forward anyway. By taking these actions you will: Minimize emotional reactions by learning not to judge yourself for having them Find a strength you never knew you had Build confidence in your ability to do hard things Heal broken places where you had abandoned your dreams and parts of your soul Walk a new path that will lead you home to yourself By continuing to be a prisoner of fear you will: Stay hidden Fail to grow and thrive Keep going around the same mountain If you need help, please reach out.
