Do you know what you’re afraid of but aren’t sure how to move forward?
Is your fear living your life for you while you sit in the backseat of life?
Do you feel alone in this journey to live your dreams and overcome fear?
We’ve been discovering what’s stopping you from your goals and dreams or getting what you want. So far, you’ve dug down to your root fear and questioned that fear to see if it’s true, helpful and kind to you. When you see this fear isn’t serving you, it’s time to start generating courage so you can overcome fear.
Today is for you if…
I’m writing a book right now, and it scares me!! But that’s not the root fear. I fear my voice matters enough to share my story with the world. It scares me that it might cause disconnection because people may disagree with or not like my writing. That’s the root fear.
The root fear is at the helm of what stops us from moving forward. It keeps us hiding and not showing up fully ourselves. It keeps us from our dreams.
You discovered your root fear, and we questioned our root fear in the last episode.
I uncovered my root fear is not true, kind or helpful. How about you?
When our fear isn’t serving us and only stopping us from our dreams, it’s time to generate the courage to overcome this fear.
How do you generate courage?
Know Your Why
Why do you want to overcome this fear?
Pick both an internal and external reason.
Make it compelling. It needs to be strong enough to get you through the messy middle.
Get Help
If you need help, get help.
No one knows everything.
And you don’t know what you don’t know because you don’t know.
Where can you find help?
I hired a book coach to walk me through the complex parts and understand the ins and outs I don’t know.
Now, Do it Afraid
Courage is a choice.
You generate courage when you do it afraid.
“We can choose comfort or we can choose courage, but we can’t have both – not at the same time.” –Brene Brown.
