How Do We Fight The Fear That Lives In Our Head?

When I think of a new goal or a trip I want to take I get excited. It’s not long before that enthusiasm is replaced with doubts and thoughts of insecurity.

Why do I always talk myself out of things? Why do I choose to avoid doing the things I want?

It could be a fear of failure, of not being good enough. Or it could be the fear that being vulnerable will lead to humiliation. Whatever the reason, the thing that’s clear, is fear is what’s keeping me here.

So how do we banish this fear?

By reminding ourselves it isn’t real.

Most of our fears live in our heads and never come true.

It’s time to evict those worthless thoughts.
