Fear is a powerful motivator.

It makes perfect since when we remember the original purpose of this emotion...

Self Preservation.

Fear is part of our built-in alert system.

Super useful when our ancestors were being hunted by predators, not so much today.

The alert system still exists... and it’s really good at sending off false alarms.

Fear is so instinctual that it is often the first thing we feel in any uncertain situation.

Uncertainty creates fear.

Fear drives the desire to withdraw... to get away from the uncertain (scary) situation at hand.

This instinctual series of events is REACTIONARY.

When we live our lives through a sequence of reactionary actions, we give away our power...

we abandon our ability to choose...

we become victims of the things we can't control.

This is all optional.

Empowerment trumps fear every. single. time.

When empowerment exists concurrently with fear, the impact of fear is diminished.

Fear may be unpredictable, unavoidable, and instinctual... but Empowerment is deliberate.

Empowerment can be created On Demand as we embrace our ability to master our own mindset and intentionally chose what we believe in any situation.

Wondering how to intentionally create empowerment when you are feeling afraid? In this podcast episode, I share the Five-Step Process for Transitioning from Fear to Empowerment.
