I would be happy, joyous, and free from suffering! I would be empowered to fulfill my dreams and pursue my interests. I would be of greater service to others.
Who would I be if I was not the not confident me?
I’d still be me. I can only ever be me. As everyone else is taken. But I can help me to feel more confident..
I enjoyed the lesson thank you from L4 counsilling student in Cornwall the UK x
Watching the video clip made me feel hopeful of the possibility that i may be able to free myself from a constant fear i live with. I love the question you have suggested that be asked of ourselves. Thank you Tara!!
I wouldn’t have imposter syndrome about my clinical skills. I’d believe I was loveable and worthy of love. I’d love myself more and practice more self-care.
I would be the person who I always felt, Innately, that I was before Iosing my true self somewhere on my life journey: less insecure, more confident, with a lighter heart and a sense of adventure; I would be happier and healthier, with greater peace of mind…able to face my remaining years as a new widow by replacing fear and doubt with more joy and trust.
It sounds like heaven…

I would be a more complete version of myself. I am naturally fearful but always work to overcome it and try to feel the fear but not let it stop me doing anything. This takes a lot of energy and has a big impact on me physically…to let the fear go would allow to be more present, to fully experience life and to feel more like my authentic self.
This was a profound moment for me hearing this question. Truly. I have had years of therapy, anxiety, meditatation, workskhops and seminars …..and I don’t recall ever considering this question? I may have thought about it over the years but never had the question posed so succinctly, clearly and impactfully. I will definitely be looking at this question moving forward….hopefully with an open heart and without the familiar self-judgement.
I feel fear and anxiety daily due to PTSD from childhood trauma. My body remains hypervigilant always watching over my shoulder if what’s next. I would love the offer meditation you mentioned.
Without my fear, I would be more accepting of myself, try more new things, worry less and be more continually focused on the present.

I would it be limitless, I would it trust my inner navigator instead of my mind chatting. I wouldn’t waste so much time believing that I wasn’t capable to succeed. Thank you.
I would be someone my family would not recognize and/or approve of. I would be cast out of the tribe. My fears and insecurities enabled my family in continuing its long established myth making.
I worry at times about things that don’t come true. They are possibilities but rarely happen. It’s sometimes hard to switch from negative thinking to positive thinking.
I would feel calmer if I did not believe that limiting belief that I was not good enough, that something was wrong with me.
I also be more open to expanding my world and not keeping it so small.
Without my fear … without believing something is wrong with me … I would be able to discern what my heart is calling me to do, then joyfully and courageously accept and engage in that call.
