And

Francesca's take on fear was inspiring. And we heard great feedback on our first solo format episode. I'm excited to share my thoughts on this tough subject.
FIRST THOUGHT - Which story?
Fear & hope are both based on future events. One is telling yourself the negative story, a future outcome that assumes the worst. Hope is telling yourself a positive story, a future outcome that assumes a great, happy ending. You choose which sentiment. Cuz it's a choice, sis!
SECOND THOUGHT - Faith & Fear
Fear & Faith cannot coexist in the same head & heart. They occupy the same space. This goes back to the story you're telling yourself. Either it's positive or negative. Not both. It's okay & normal if your default reaction is fear. But then what do you choose? Faith. Hope. That's a muscle. Keep working it, the stronger it will get.
THIRD THOUGHT - Certainty vs Confidence
What’s certain? Death & taxes, right? Although this year, the tax deadline was moved. So that's not even reliable anymore. lol. As my father-in-law says - water is wet, the sun comes up & babies cry. For me, that's about the end of the list of what's certain. Everything else is confidence. Do I have what it takes? Can I do this? Will this work out?
Confidence says YES, and.... Yes it will all work out, and if it doesn't, I'll figure it out. Yes I have what it takes, and anything I don't know I can learn. Yes I can do this, and if I make mistakes I will grow.
Again, confidence is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it will get.
FINAL THOUGHT
Walk with fear. Doesn’t it mean you’re on the verge of something new? Doesn't it mean you're alive? And becoming more? A big, wide, stretched out comfort zone is the sign of a person who's awesome. Don't you think so?
