Don't be so fast to label yourself. Personally, I feel like it's better to say that you've had these tendencies in the past rather than owning them in the now. I've found that laughter yoga can help shift my mood rather quickly from one of negativity to joy and light-hardheartedness. even just a little grin and and a chuckle under my breath is enough to shift my mood to one of positivity. We are here to be happy and to love and help one another to be be good stewards of the planet. Love is the answer.

@reginag.a.4187
@reginag.a.4187 3 года назад
That part resonated with me as well. I think many of us need to know how to live, whether we're aware of having this thought or not. So many of us do not know what we're doing. I love how we all pretend we know though. The truth is, we're here to figure things out and most of all to figure out how to live in our skins. And that's different for everyone. I thoroughly believe in each of us having a unique journey but also belonging to those shared qualities (like fear) that make us all human.

The common theme in all these archetypes is the enabling of oneself to submit to the fear itself, therfore, letting it grow wild like weeds in a garden. Making a habit of doing the things that make you uncomfortable, and reinforced with positive self talk is the only solution. I hope everyone finds it within themselves to face and conquer their own fears and let shine the greatness we all posses within.

This brought tears to my eyes. I have never looked at myself as having fear. I have always tried new things and stepped outside of my comfort zone. But I am also the biggest procrastinator and feel stuck at times but I realize now that it’s fear. Fear that I will fail or fear that I’m not good enough. Thank you so much for sharing this. So authentic and real 🙏🏾

I took Ruth’s fear assessment and it was enlightening to say the least....and right on. I am first and foremost a Procrastinator by way of perfectionism and fear of not doing it right so it’s easier to not take action. After reading “Do It Scared” I now know my challenges....and how to use them to my advantage and even try to change them. So incredibly helpful.

Gosh! I am glad I finally mustered the courage to find some help with this problem (by writing this comment I am already working towards that). I can identify with about 5 of these archetypes and as I was taking notes on this talk, my mind started working on ways of tackling the problem. Now that I have identified my fears, I feel more hopeful towards beginning the journey of lessening the impact fear has on my life🙂.

I can honestly say that I have all seven maxed out. I am pretty much a shut-in, and am on Permanent Disability. The hardest part is knowing that I have very real medical conditions that aren't being treated because of these fears, some of which may now need additional or more complicated surgeries to fix. I Mask heavily as a defensive mechanism, and tend to avoid "bothering" Doctors with my problems. I ignore pains that I shouldn't ignore. I am 44 years old, and haven't had so much as a physical since I was 19. Thoughts of suicide and self harm are only curbed by the guilt of how I would make other people feel by following out those thoughts. I have finally begun getting professional help last month. I am sorry if this isn't the right place for this.
@JessicaBowman
@JessicaBowman 4 года назад
I can totally understand that! You don't have to do all the scary things all at once. Start by keeping a journal of all the things you're afraid of or that bother you. Then take the easiest one and do it. I used to be too afraid to talk on the phone, to order through a drive-thru. I always imagined the worst case scenario and could barely leave my house. But if you just try doing one thing, you'll soon realize that it's almost never as bad as whatever you've imagined. And that gives you the courage to do the next thing. And the next. It snowballs! Pretty soon you'll be doing things you never thought you were capable of, and you'll be making the most of your life, with no regrets! You can do it! 💛

I resonated with many archetypes. Majorly was with self doubter. And I know what triggers me. The situations where I have to present myself. Be it an interview, a presentation , Viva or anything. First thought that comes in my mind is 'I am not good enough' , 'I am going to make myself embarrassed ', 'I should not even try what's the point', 'I will waste the interviewers time'. I criticize myself so much. I have low self esteem. I feel like everyone can do better than me. Or I have not practiced enough. I want to overcome this, this horrible feeling, I hate it. I know its just that one tiny step towards my fear and boom it will get better. But I have been hesitating all my life. But now I am going to take the leap of faith and will give my first ever interview tomorrow. I believe I will get better.

I have blushing in my face that will make my face turns red in every situation, especially when it cames to "caught in a spot" situation. But last week ive been employed by a new company. Its been 3 years since my last work. People will humiliate me if they saw im blushing. I hope i can stand the bully in my new job now. Because i cannot hide my fear, it is always shown right in front my face. If i success stand the bullies in this job, i will continue pursuing master degree and doctoral / PhD degree.
