Today on Beautiful Life,

Fear.

Are you in charge of your life or is fear?

Fear is the number one thing that stops people from living a life they love,

From living a life they long for,

From taking action,

Loving more deeply,

Taking risk,

Being who they are meant to be,

Standing out,

Standing up,

Being seen,

Being remarkable,

Being special,

Being more and better.

I could go on and on.

So what is fear anyway?

Fear is an emotion that is a result of a collection of thoughts.

Period.

That's all it is.

Our mind says something like,

Don't do that or else you'll be embarrassed.

Then our emotional selves feel fear.

And so then we do nothing as a result.

Every action or inaction is a result of our thinking minds.

Everything we feel and do is a result of our thinking.

Everything.

So in coaching or counseling,

We look at our thoughts.

When we are battling this big saboteur of fear,

What are we telling ourselves that is stopping us?

What are you telling yourself that is stopping you?

I like to ask this powerful question.

What would you do if you had no fear?

You would not believe the things people have told me.

I'd write a book.

I'd quit my job and finally start painting and drawing again.

I'd tell my spouse that isn't working and hasn't been for a long time and I'd leave.

I'd be in a lot of trouble.

I'd be in a lot of trouble.

I'd be in a lot of trouble.

I'd be in a lot of trouble.

I'd be in a lot of trouble.

I'd be in a lot of trouble.

I'd stop faking.

I like blank or blank or blank.

And I'd really start doing stuff I love every day.

I'd tell my old girlfriend that I made a mistake and really she's the one I truly have loved my whole life.

I'd create something in the field of blank that no one has ever thought of before.

Yep,

The possibilities are endless.

Fear can serve us in areas where there is potential danger,

Certainly.

Other than that,

Fear is just an emotion.

We get to decide if we let fear guide our decisions,

Our lives.

We are in charge of our thinking and we can change our thoughts,

Which lead to our emotions and actions.

So I ask you,

Are you in charge of your life or is fear?

Touched my heart and mind. Thanks for creating this.

Great Questions, wonderful straight forward examination of the place fear has in our lives, and the power of changing our thoughts in order to change our relationship to fear. Fabulous! ✨

I'm facing a bully in court today. This was very helpful. Nameste.

These questions got me wondering about what I would do if I had no fear. I would start making things with my hands.

I appreciate the words, "I am in charge". Hearing that brought me back to my strength.
Thank you.

This helped me get grounded. I am getting ready to walk away from a relationship and this really helped turn down my anxiety. I will probably listen to it a few more times.

I listen to this talk everytime i struggle with something and I feel like fear is taking control over my life. It's not a magical solution to such problems, but it helps to break a though pattern

I really needed this! Perfect way to start my day!

Very helpful :-)

Amazing!highly recommend 😊👍

Brief. Succinct. Powerful. I’ll listen to this one often.

Love this quick reminder of the definition and the possibilities are endless if we let go of fear! Thank you

Thank you so much. Powerful speaking. Love and hugs for you. :):):)

Just what I needed to hear. Thank you🙏💗💐

Thank you. I have returned to this meditation several times.

I agree, so many of our decisions, my decisions have been guided by fear in the past. Upon examination I chose other paths only to find and come up against new fears in new decisions. A revealing of self and acceptance of who I am has mad me realize that fear ( and codependency - which for me is really about fear) has kept me in a box over and over again. Breaking free of that takes a real commitment to self, happiness and a desire for change. Focusing more on the light, the love and the wonderment of life is a better motivator for me in my better self.

Very clear well delivered meditation. Would to hear a longer version with periods of silence for reflection.

Very astute (& true) definition of fear. Now do a meditation on how to overcome it. :)

I really needed this meditation today...Namaste🙏🏽

Saw myself in several examples.
