How Do I Challenge a Frightened Part of My Personality?


Listen Later

In this episode, Gary explores the process of recognizing and challenging the frightened parts of our personality. He explains how these parts, rooted in fear, shape our experiences by driving emotions such as anger, jealousy, resentment, and insecurity. Through emotional awareness and responsible choice, we can begin the journey of moving beyond their control and stepping into authentic power.

Many people mistakenly believe they can eliminate fear-based behaviors through wishful thinking or intellectual understanding, but true transformation requires consistent practice. Gary shares personal stories, illustrating how the frightened parts of the personality lose their grip over time when we choose love over fear again and again. He emphasizes that growth is not about erasing fear, but about making conscious choices in the face of it.

The key to challenging a frightened part of your personality is to observe it without judgment, recognize its physical and emotional impact, and then deliberately choose to act from love instead. This daily practice of emotional awareness and conscious choice is how we create authentic power and lasting transformation.


What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
  • (00:41): How fear-based parts of our personality shape our experiences.
  • (02:50): Why choosing love over fear is a process that requires repetition.
  • (05:07): How to recognize the physical and emotional impact of frightened parts.
  • (07:15): The importance of self-awareness and responsible choice in transformation.
  • (10:59): How spiritual partnerships support the process of challenging fear-based behaviors.


    Embrace the Soul Step Challenge : Take time to observe the frightened parts of your personality throughout the day. When you feel emotions like jealousy, anger, or fear, pause and notice their physical sensations—tightness in the chest, a knot in the stomach, or tension in the throat. Ask yourself: What part of me is feeling this, and how can I choose love instead? Write down your observations and document how conscious choices (from love) impacts your experience.


    Are you creating with love or fear in your life? Take this self-assessment today to find out.
