thanks Tara.
I would be a person who slept well if I didn’t believe that there was something wrong with me.
I would be , and already am, an intrepid traveller and exercise my natural curiosity about life and all its inhabitants. I would easily love my fellow creatures.
I would express my gratitude.
Who would i be if i didn’t believe something was wrong with me. I would be unafraid!! I would be confident. I would be deeply caring and empathetic of others .I would be able to be accepting of myself. I would be able to comfort myself and be accepting of my self doubt.
If I didn’t believe something was wrong with me it would open up my world. I would be more open to share my time and love with others. I would have more self love and more worthy of love from others. I would be happier and that would make others feel good about themselves. My world would be more positive.
It would be fantastic to believe nothing is wrong with me. Many times I don’t talk to people because I think they don’t care what I have to say.
I would be more at ease and present in the moment. I would be more curious and open. I would feel more authentically myself when not worrying what others might be thinking. I would pause and be less reactive…probably responding more comfortably.
Perhaps I might be a person willing to take risks without the self doubts that make me think I cannot do things. If I didn’t believe something was wrong with me, I think I could begin to like and love myself. To see myself as an allie, a friend, a companion, rather than being in battle with that part of myself that doesn’t think I am enough or worthy.
This was inspiring. The steps in awareness of thoughts and body, breathing into the fear with slow deep breathing, and “real but not true” offer hope for changing the awful fear and anxiety loop….Thanks!
If it were not for fear that something is wrong with, my mother would be driving and thriving at 86 years young. She is in perfect physical heath yet is crippled by doubt and what ifs. It is heart breaking when she feeds this doubt for the sake of safety and “better safe than sorry”.
Irene Terdoslavich, Social Work, Asbury Park, NJ, USAsays
I would be relaxed and at peace with myself and the world if I didnt feel so much anxiety and fear. Id love to take the course, but it is quite a bit out of my price range unfortunately
I like your thoughts and insights. Personally, I have internalized certain fears and have created fear-based reactions that are almost on autopilot. Habitual would be an understatement. I need to break this habit.
The concept of “real but not true” is so helpful to challenge beliefs. If I didn’t have these beliefs of self-doubt I would be so more free and creative I think. Although challenging myself also helps me being rigorous and demanding, and brings me to levels of excellence that I hadn’t reached without them. So it seems to me I need the right balance. A little self-doubt, and not too often, to keep me humble while being free to create.
Hmm… I might be more free and less worried, but perhaps also more reckless? I wonder about the ways that fear might be “the beginning of wisdom”, in some cases, depending on how I relate with it. Though many times my/our responses to fear can wind/spiral me/us into unhelpful (unhealthy) behaviours of avoiding and attempted escaping, perhaps if I were willing and able to stay present with feelings of fear and move mindfully, heartfully and body-fully through these and other feelings, they might instead serve as helpful and important cues and catalysts to more present, rich and full living? Much to explore here, I believe… Thank you for the question, and (in advance) for the gift!
I would be fantastic if had some money to go along with the belief.
nothing is wrong with me.
I long every day for a Sanga that’s here and now and not only online.
thank you beautiful Tara

If I believed that I am whole and there is nothing wrong with me, I would be open to many opportunities for using available offers of joy and adventures from my universe. I am an old woman and I would like to appreciate what adventure I can have with that. I want to view old age and death as an opportunity for growth and enlightenment.
Without fear I would be a more relaxed, gentler, more confident artist, writer and workshop facilitator. My loving partner and myself would be sailing and hiking regularly in joy
Who would I be if I didn’t believe something was wrong with me?
It is not easy to answer, because I have so long believed that something is wrong with me, something I do not really understand or can put into words butI just “know” it to be “true”. I can neither explain what exactly is wrong with me and I cannot say who I would be without this ingrained belief, which I have carried around with me for 70+ years. But I am going to try, starting with telling myself, “real but not true”. It’s a start….. Thank you for these sessions, which I find helpful and comforting.
If I had no fear, I would be able to use my inherent intelligence and intuition to deal with problems and challenges, I would be more confident, spontaneous, easy-going, and loving to myself and others.
When I first heard this question I got a flood of joyful possibilities and images in my mind, including all the unfulfilled wishes I’d always hoped for in my life, like being in a loving relationship. After these fantasies dissipated, I just thought: ‘I don’t know’, I genuinely don’t know who I would be if I didn’t have a lifelong belief that something was wrong with me. I don’t know because I have no idea what I’d be feeling or thinking or how I would behave if I wasn’t full of anxiety and fears. It must be lovely not to have a hundred worries go through your mind every time you said or did something, or to call or spend time with someone and just be present and enjoy it, instead of thinking: ‘I’m boring, they don’t want to be talking to me, I’m so fat and gross’ etc. I would truly like to be free of this, to feel at peace and ok about myself.
I would be able to be present and loving. I would rely less on my intellect to solve problems and make important decision. I would ”know” a lot more without thinking it through. I think I would feel more alive.
I find Tara’ s short but very insightful recordings about our commonly experienced fearful behaviours are practical and easily accessible for me by just listening and then trying to integrate them into my day.
Thank you for this opportunity,
Sincerely,
Joanna
