FloTivation Episode No. 4 | FEAR
Fear is not real. It is actually something that we create to be “real," when really, it is the story we form in our brains about what we are scared of actually happening. Challenge for you -- have you actually written down the worst case scenario of what “could” happen if that “fear” comes true? If not… do it. Then assess what you can do in order to overcome the fear. Is it writing about it to release it? Is it ripping up those negative thoughts? Is it simply doing things you know you can do in order to boost your confidence? Play with this. See what comes up. Often times, what we “think” will happen is actually also another story we create about “fear."---
