Fear: Friend or Faux?


Listen Later

Fear can deter us from what we really want to do because we’re unsure whether to heed it or not. Is the fear I’m feeling because there is true danger or is it simply holding me back? Are there ways to differentiate between fear that is a useful warning and fear that isn’t?

In this episode, I explore the idea that if we can examine fear, we can redefine the experience. To begin, if we better understand our physical responses to fear, we can better identify their purpose. We can actively pull what we’re passively feeling into the more practical part of our brain. From there, we can ascertain whether we’re dealing with fear as friend or faux.

“What if you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be and fear doesn’t mean you’re making a mistake? What if it just means you’re considering stepping into the next version of you?… What if discomfort is the currency of your dreams?”  – Dr. Sara Dill
