Practical Steps To Face Your Fears
We all have certain triggers that evoke our fears. Have you found yourself feeling defensive or skeptical without fully understanding where those emotions are coming from?
Fear, being the most powerful emotion, can manifest in various forms such as doubt, self-blame, blaming others, suspicion, and tension. At times, we may not immediately recognize that fear underlies these feelings. In this episode, Paula dissects fear and offers practical steps to assess and, hopefully, shift into a different mindset.
Fear instinctively compels us to defend ourselves; we are wired for survival and self-protection. When in a state of fear, we tend to shut off data and lose connection with others—this is how our brains are designed. While this instinct has aided our survival, it can wreak havoc on our emotions in non-physically threatening situations. However, there is a gift within fear. By paying attention and seeking clarity, we can discern what the fear is trying to tell us.
