F*** Your Fears

What are you afraid of?

A year ago, I made a long list.  My list included:

• Heights
• Swimming in cold water
• Popping balloons
• Running a long distance
• Roller coasters
• Meeting my favorite celebrities (this didn’t terrify me more than make me embarrassingly giddy (poor David))
• Scary Movies
• Zombies
• Telling other people I struggled with panic attacks

When I first battled with panic attacks, I honestly couldn’t imagine getting up in the morning and doing anything “normal” without feeling overwhelmed with fear and worry.  I felt useless, incapable.

It was horrible to feel so weak.

One program recommended I try something: List out your fears. Then, face them.

So I did.

And guess what happened the past year?

To name a few

what’s facing your fears like?

EXHILARATING

I can’t fairly describe how empowering it is to go from quivering with fear as I take the steps to face one…to feeling like superwoman after it’s done.

My new list (still brainstorming more):

• Running a half marathon
• Swimming in the ocean
• Climbing 50 feet
• Skiing
• Tall water slides
• Eating snails

So what are you afraid of?

Name your fears.

Then, f*** them (face ’em).

what fears have you faced?
