Fear is the emotional response we have when we think about something from the past that was scary. Something we saw, heard or experienced ourselves or to someone else which elicited fear. Our mind tells us that scary thing will happen over and over again. We apply our belief about fearful outcomes to current or future endeavors and over time, without realizing it, we are being limited by our fear instead of being rational about our fear.

Fear is not a ‘bad’ emotion. All feelings have a purpose. Fear, if managed properly can help keep us safe. If left unchecked, fear can create a small, lonely existence where we no longer feel comfortable in being ourselves. If this applies to you, it’s time to take action to let go of fear and live your life being yourself!
