S2: EP18 Fear… the Other F Word - Don’t Let it Keep You Small!
In this episode we dive deep into everything fear related. Because let's face it, a life lived in fear is a life not fully lived. Fear lets us know we're alive. Like any of the other emotions that pass through us, it's a vibration, & an energy.
We get to choose our relationship with it. We can let it keep us small, comfortable, safe & unseen. Which it's originally designed to do OR... we can transmute its energy & use it as an enabler to success.
Because the only difference between a healthy does of fear, vs excitement, is the lens of thinking we layer over it. Yup it's our beautiful brains going to work to protect us from that saber tooth tiger or man eating dinosaur.
Oh but hang on, they don't roam the earth any more, so we dig into how helpful that primal response is and what actually triggers it in this day and age.
There is very little physiological difference between fear & excitement. In fact we're suckers for predictable fear... cue scary movies, roller coaster rides & sky-diving. The kind of fear we can immerse ourselves in with certainty that the outcome is likely one where we're ok.
But the fear of heart-break, loss, failure, being seen, uncertainty, well that's a whole other ball game, or is it? Tune in as we challenge our thinking around our relationship to fear and how our hand grenade moments brought us so much freedom around it.
The cool thing we discovered, you don't need a hand grenade moment to change up how fear can rule your life, you just need to be open to challenging some existing paradigms and thinking you have around it.
