I’d be a confident mother to my adult daughter who has borderline personality disorder and PTSD. I’d be able to set better boundaries and stop walking on eggshells around her.
It sounds so easy when one talks about it, but breaking the trance and facing your fear is difficult. I am going to try the question you posed, “who would I be if I did not believe there was something wrong with me?”
I would be more loving, more adventurous,more curious, more present for the good stuff:kids, cats, friends, family, patients, nature, food, the world,myself.. and then even present for the “ bad” stuff staying with it , breathing with it- serenity wisdom- “serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference”
I believe I would feel lighter, be able to laugh more, feel relaxed and loving. I believe I would be more engaged with life and have more satisfying relationships. I believe I would be less afraid of the opinions of others and take back control of my life. I believe I would take more risks and not judge or blame others for the way I feel. I could be more compassionate, kind, and gentle with others I would contribute more to the world. Thank you Tara.
I WILL be a writer, helping the world to heal itself of this epidemic of fear that we all live with, through the stories I am called to tell! Fantastically clear guide to taking those first steps I need to take – and it is not rocket science – it feels so achievable – thank you!
Thank you for such a powerful, forward-focussed question.
I am looking forward to offering the suggestion that people respond differently in their dreams too.
I would be a world renowned therapist, leading groups of people towards their better selves with teaching and meditational harp music. I would do this with a calm confidence that inspires others to practise peace.
Noticing the question, Who would you be without fear, landing inside feels immediately like the lapping of calm ocean waves in my upper chest and abdomen area. Wow. It feels like freedom.
Your words, your voice, your presence is doing so much to heal the world.
Thank you, Tara.
Thank you for this Tara. Fear of fear is something that has plagued me all my life. Your ‘Smile’ loving kindness meditation audio has helped a lot in this. My self doubt is chronic. I am most frightened when on my own as I have the belief that only someone else can help me be okay. Attachment issues from when I was very young and sent away to boarding school and I am 65 now so there is a large amount of shame that I haven’t ‘gotten over’ this by now. Thank you again for your kind words of wisdom and may all the other sufferers on this course find freedom from anxiety.
I would be calm, confident, compassionate towards myself and others, trusting, energised, motivated, powerful and joyful. My EFT mantra. Thank you Tara.
Who would I be if I didn’t believe something was wrong with me?
I would be brave enough to take more risks. I would stand tall and you would see a confident posture and hear a confident voice speaking with conviction and passion about the things that matter to me. I would be more able to say no thank you and less likely to say yes to please others.
Thank you Tara. Feel the fear and face it. I’ve spent years running from uncomfortable feelings. To come back into my body is a start. Grateful to be able to share your teachings with my 17 year old daughter and her friends, as the navigate their emotional world
Great Tara! I love your videos and podcasts, they are really useful for me. Your tips are incredible powerful, with me and my clients. Just your voice is like a balm and calm anxiety. Thanks so much.
I would exude an aura of even more softness & acceptance than I aready do paired with a calm deep peace. Typing this comment evokes a sense a playful joy supplying motivation to move closer to opening my fearless heart.
You question brims in divine intervention for me right now. As a former law-enforcement officer17 years ago… I was very courageous and I didn’t fear anything or at least I thought I didn’t. At 20 years later as a energy practitioner, thinking if only I didn’t have the fear if not being good enough I would be an awesome healer, philosopher, visionary, evangelizing and laying my hands on everybody I meet. I would be an amazing Crisis coach, transitional awareness speaking on how to be resilient in your everyday life..
I’m working on putting my uniform back on to in a new way of life.
Much love to you!
Live in prayer instead of fear!
“Who would I be without this particular thought?” That’s such a provocative question in that one can’t help but open to other possibilities. It seems to me, there’s always a choice and when we can see other possibilities, fears hold has just loosened a bit. Over time, it continues to loosen. Great question.
I’ve enjoyed this 3-part series. Tara has a pleasant manner and communicates in a succinct, caring, and insightful way. The “nuggets” within each video are practical and easy to connect with!
I would be free to do anything I wished. I would have more energy because I would be worry free, stress free and pain free. I would be able to concentrate on my work of helping and healing clients! My relationships would be better with my husband,children and friends because I would be the real me without any baggage.
And a PS to my comment below and in answer to the question, who would I be if I didn’t think there was something wrong with me? I’d be smart, I’d be happy, I’d learn many things, I’d be a role model for others, I’d be more loving towards myself, I’D BE AT PEACE.
I like to think I would be confident and engaging. Anxiety and fear of failure put such limitations on your life. Real but not true – I will have to practice this.
Thank you for this insight.
Thank you, I have been suffering from chronic fear since I was a child, and have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety. I have been working with professionals to alleviate the discomfort that is ever-present. I have improved but need more help. Thank you for your help and advice.
