Challenge Yourself - Face Your Fears

Assignment  "Challenge yourself - Face your Fears"

From the home assignment:
 
There is something so freeing and exhilarating when you challenge and transcend your fears.  There was a wonderful book written by Susan Jeffers called Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway that talks about facing and "walking through" our fears.

What's amazing is that when we "walk through" our fears, we not only find the fear to be an illusion, but in many cases we find our greatest passion on the other side of it. 

Many people who have been terrified of public speaking find that once they do it a few times, the exhilaration experienced is something that they want to do as often as possible. Transcending our fears also builds tremendous self-confidence and self-esteem. ©

This week, do something (or many things) that create fear for you. 
Who have you been avoiding? 
What conversations have you been steering clear of and with whom? 
Who is really successful that you would like to know? 
Where have you resisted dedicating your time? 
What actions aren't you taking in your business? 
In your health?  In your relationships? 

These are all places to start looking at where you can start.  Journal how you challenged yourself, what you felt, and what you experienced that was positive.
 
© A word about phobias. I have one. It's freeway driving. I tried to feel the fear and do it anyway on a horrific drive from Las Vegas to N. California. It didn't work. I'm sure I created this but so far have been unable to effect the brain changes necessary for my fear area to be overly activated. Love yourself though this exercise. Don't pound yourself.

Some of my thoughts:
I have to work on this.

Thanks for reading.
Challenge Yourself - Face Your Fears
Staying On The Journey,
Susan
