Getting sucked into fear
from Building Something Better Hosted by Amy Jones
This is a big one. I've been getting sucked into fear quite a bit lately and from some of the messages I've been receiving from our listeners, I know I'm not the only one. To be human is also to be afraid. We may be smart, but we're also designed to get real scared when we do anything new. Or big. Or brilliant. Which is to say that most days, I am afraid, if not terrified. It can be so easy to get sucked into that fear and the scary stories my Clever Brain comes up with. I'm thinking of them like those riptides that suck people out to sea. Most people's instinct is to swim to shore and struggle against the powerful current. But the way we get out of riptides is kinda like the way we get out of overwhelming fear. Sharing what that's like for me and how I navigate through it. It's what I've been practicing a lot this week. For anyone else who is daring to create something great, who is in the midst of a journey or adventure aka rollercoaster, I hope you'll find this comforting. I also hope it will spark some inspiration for you and help you notice when you're in fear and take steps to move through it.
