Some areas of your life may not be working for you, what is it? Describe it. What’s your biggest fear that’s holding you back from having the best possible success in life.
Fear. Energy. Habits & Patterns
Fear is an emotional response to a perceived threat or danger. It is a natural and adaptive response that helps us protect ourselves from harm or danger. It can manifest as physical sensations such as increased heart rate, sweating, and trembling, as well as cognitive and behavioral changes such as avoidance or escape.
You can let fear trigger old habits or patterns of thinking inside you. Using your energy being busy isn’t you in control. Being driven by fear is a perspective that one needs to slow their life down. But, you can plant seeds, one action at a time that can help you move from fear to awareness that actually gets you what you want. Now let’s start digging.
- Over-thinkers
- Over-thinkers are afraid that they can’t figure out what they should do with their life. All this thinking uses stress energy and keeps a person stuck.
- New Pattern: Replace thinking with planting seed by seed: taking control mentally.
THE OBVIOUS IS TOO EASY
The hardest thing to do is to state the fear or to voice it out loud; especially to hear those words. I know it can be embarrassing, like falling down and everyone is watching, or laughing at you. I have had this happen to me as well.
But, something beautiful to recognize is you’re not alone in this.
Yet, the moment you state something, and say to yourself that you want to change this habit. Now state out loud what you want, claim it.
If you want to meet goals or fulfill your dreams, it starts with courage to claim them- without erasing them.
State your goal or dream. Proudly. Right here in detail.

Researchers at Columbia University have found through studies that creating a If/When plan increase your chances to succeed by 39% to 91%. That’s amazing!
- If I start over-thinking and the voices of fear or self-sabatogue go off in my head, that’s when I will say out loud an empowering thought, like “I am powerful. I am in control of my life.”
- If I am distracted by scrolling through social media, that’s when I will disengage myself and pass through that and laugh myself into a crafting environment.
- If I am aware that the day is going to be busy and hectic, that’s when I will schedule out my day, and breathe. Voice out loud; “I got this.”
- If I hear myself saying; “I doubt that I can do that.” That’s when I will check myself up and change the tone of doubting to one of “I WILL GIVE THIS PROJECT MY BEST EFFORT.”
- If people make me feel foolish about my dreams or goals, that’s when I will protect me and limit my conversation to less than 10 minutes.
