Thank you Tara. Simply bringing up the topic is healing, because of the tendancy to assimilate feelings – even when unprocessed. Breaking down steps to process is hugely helpful🌹
Maggie McGuffin, Another Field, Oklahoma City, OK, USAsays
A loving wife and caring daughter in law. A sister and daughter that accepts the truth about growing up with extreme adverse childhood experiences without judgment of how other family members have to survive. Free from the prison of alcohol abuse and addictive behavior. Aware enough to identify my feeling and articulate them without stammering my words. Committed to my body and breathe.
Thank you, Tara, for your many blessings and teachings! Who would I be without the fear that there is something wrong with me? I would be my highest self, capable of infinite wisdom, compassion and love in all circumstances. I would be incapable of taking things personally, thereby living a life of true freedom. I strive toward this everyday, but, of course, get pulled into that trance of unworthiness when triggered. I would love to have a tool to go to when triggered!

Very much like the way you linked the belief to the physiology which reinforces how negative beliefs FEEL so real we believe they’re the truth. Thanks!

I really appreciate being invited to explore who I’d be without fear. Straight away I felt an ease in my body especially my heart area. I felt an excitement and freedom as well encouraging me to look at my potential, try something new. Thanks so much for these precious teachings. I look forward to hearing more and hopefully doing the upcoming online course. Namaste 🙏
So helpful to turn and face fears, once we are consciously aware of what it is that is triggering the fear response we can then choose to gather courage and do something about it. Very helpful series Tara- thanks so much for sharing this. Totally love the ‘Real but not true’ reminder that we cannot always trust our reactions and how important it is to catch, check and change our thoughts.

With a Fearless heart I would talk nicely to myself. I would quiet and redirect my inner critic that puts my feet in molasses in Maine January. I would move forward in life after losing my 44 year husband. Right now I am stuck in fears.
I have to thank you for your guidance over many years through some rough family and financial times by helping me be mindful, present, kind… who would I be if your work hadn’t guided my heart and quieted my mind. My journey continues with the tool: real but true and the question: who would I be without my looping thoughts of self doubt. Your work helps me access my best, loving, courageous self. Thank you.
Ever since I was 2, I had panic attacks. I learned to manage them on my own, quietly. I am good at it now but fear rules my life. I fear cancer and never check myself. I would be so free and confident, my life will have more joy and play. I would be bold and I would be a great asset to this world.
I would be happy and free and dancing a lot!
I would talk to people and ask them for help.
I would be someone people like to come to and visit.
I would draw pictures on walls and I would play with my dog.
I would earn money with what I love.
I would massage people and be massaged.
I would be a good friend and partner.
I would be the best and healthy version of myself.
I would be more open and authentic. I would be me.
Who would I be if I didn’t think something was wrong with me? I would be less self-conscious, less guarded which means more spontaneous and able to laugh at myself when I fall into the hole again.
“Real but not true.” What would I be without my looping thoughts of worry and self doubt. I would be a loving friend, sister, wife and mother. I would exude my inner self – happy and confident. I appreciate the message that I can acknowledge my fear, and then challenge it.
