What is Your Relationship with Fear?

BY JEFF REDMON/BREAKTHROUGH IMPACT GROUP

This is a question my good friend and fellow coach, Jon Iveson, asks you. 

Jon recently went on a 6-day NY trip with his 15-year-old daughter.
 
The point of the trip was to visit his dad, but Jon is never one to miss a learning opportunity.
 
“One of the opportunities that presented itself during this trip was to help my daughter work on her fears.
 
I chose to simply notice the presence of the fear in those situations.
 
I danced and played with its presence by utilizing self-deprecating humor.
 
I was able to shift people’s focus to positive emotions like courage, confidence, and gratitude.
 
Fear shows up in all our lives. We need to develop a healthy relationship with it and use it as a signal, not a roadblock!”

I couldn’t have said it better myself!
