Fear is a natural experience in our lives. It can be the most significant piece of baggage that many of us carry around because it’s associated with so many things, whether it’s trauma or emotional understanding, failure, rejection, or not being able to get out of the limiting beliefs; fear can be a tornado that takes us down and keeps us from fully thriving.

In fact, you can write a life blueprint and give yourself a beautiful path. However, the minute that fear puts a wall up, a boundary around you, there’s not much one can do until you move through seven skill sets that help you get out of fear and eliminate it. That’s exactly what you and I will do today in our one-on-one deep dive.

Fear, it’s a nasty word and an even nastier emotion. It keeps us caught in small boxes. It keeps us from showing up to our present life, future, relationships, jobs, families, you name it. If fear is present, you are not thriving to your fullest potential.

That’s why you and I are taking one-on-one deep dive into the fear of making the wrong choice! Fear is the biggest enemy to your decision-making, and it can hold you captive even when the stacks feel like life and death. So, if you have ever found yourself uncertain, feeling “stuck,” unable to move forward, or wishing someone else could choose for you, this is the conversation for you!

Fear is one of the most powerful emotions. It ranks right up there, at least in my mind, with grief. It’s a liar. It’s a thieve. And yet, its intention is good. It’s meant to keep you safe. But, for many, fear keeps them paralyzed, shut down, and living in a way that is strictly in survival and never touching the beauty of joy, which is, of course, a birthright to all of us.

Jill Gibson from New Hampshire wrote in and said, “Danielle, I’m not sure where to start. I suppose I should just say the word in my head most days—fear. I was talking to a dear friend a few months ago, and she pointed out that I am constantly fearful but also doing everything I can to avoid it. I’ve struggled with this thought since she spoke those words. I feel this is a truthful assessment of where I am, but I do not know how to get out of it. I would love to hear your advice.”
