I would be so much more relaxed, happier in living my blessed and fortunate life.
I would be more authentically me, free of self doubts, more engaged with living in the present moment.
I also have felt that I don’t belong in many situations. I don’t have the confidence that I would be warmly welcomed. I definitely live with the fear of rejection or being ignored as irrelevant.
Isn’t it possible to meet fear with a friendliness? As Rumi says in the poem “the guest house”
“Be grateful for whatever comes. because each had been sent as a guid from beyond.”
Maybe fear cab clear space out for new awareness, vitality even fertility and new growth?
I am learning to face fear now.It cannot control me when I see it can appear to be real but simply is not true . I find with practice this really does work.
Thank you Tara, without fear, I would be a very open, compassionate and above all courageous person, who would find ways of communicating that bring about joy and understanding. And oh boy would I be rich:)
Thank you!!
I believe without fear we would never grow, that a small amount of fear may be helpful as long as the thing you want to do or the change you want to make is more important than holding on to the fear!
Real but not true!!!
When I was little I wanted to be an actress so badly (a kid actor on Romper Room, which I watched daily). My mother told me as soon as I could write down the whole address at the end of the show, showing where to send child auditions, that I could apply. She very well knew I would never be able to write it, and I couldn’t. I believe this is one of many similar incidents in my childhood where I was shown that my “agency” was not enough to achieve my goals. If fear and self-doubt were not an issue, to answer your question, Tara, I’d be an actress.
This is a big question! Guess quite a different person! Selfdoubt is deeply rooted in me..Painter.. living close to the sea and nature..with a trustfull, creative community(:
I would be stepping out of my comfort zone far more often, deepening my relationships with family and friends, networking more, writing my memoir, better organizing my home and letting go of clutter, and being a lot more proactive about working to strengthen levels of compassion and caring in our country and the world.
What a wonderfully liberating question to ask ourselves! This question along with the three steps you have kindly offered us, Tara, provide us with a lovingly pure and genuinely empowering way to address and effectively heal fear-based (unloving) thoughts and beliefs. Loving blessings and a heartfelt thank you to you, Tara!
I would be more confident in myself. Being able to leave my job that I hate. I would also teach people how I deserve to be treated with love and respect.
I’ve always felt like there was something wrong with me, something important that was missing. Spent my whole life pretending I didn’t feel this way, so I could fit in, be loveable. After living with fear so long – don’t know who I would be without it, but I’d like to find out. Making my way through “The Power of Awareness” right now…
I would have a job that I really love. I would say frankly and with respect for the other person what I feel or need. I would be able to allow myself to really feel and to recognize my needs.
Fear controls my life, I’m always projecting ahead with negative thoughts. Real but not true sounds like the key to Freedom, hopefully it’s the beginning of change.
Would feel so much better!
I’d be closer to love and peace. Thanks!
I would like to be without fear!!
Calmer, and more engaging and I sense more adventurous.
Directly after this question I feel more loving, joyful and grateful. Wow
I would be living in a country in the sun taking care of wildlife
I would be a trusting, peaceful individual.
Thank you Tara
I would be free of shrinking into myself and lean outward with vulnerability, compassion and empathy for others
I would be so much more relaxed, happier in living my blessed and fortunate life.
I would be more authentically me, free of self doubts, more engaged with living in the present moment.
I would be free from judgement and accept myself and others with ease.❤️
I also have felt that I don’t belong in many situations. I don’t have the confidence that I would be warmly welcomed. I definitely live with the fear of rejection or being ignored as irrelevant.
Love

Free, at ease with myself and the world6

Without fear draining me I would have more energy. Tara’s teachings always help me and I look forward to this one.
I would be a light, loving, non- judgmental human if I didn’t believe something was wrong with me.
I’d probably be my 10-year-old self, just excited about everything.
Wow! I would be joyful and productive. I would find freedom and a voice.
Good question. One of my biggest fears is the fear of death, and I struggle to work out how to get the 3 step process to help me with this 🤔

Can this approach be used with teens given their developping self identity?
I would be more connected with others, more successful, more fulfilled, more joyous.
Free
Who would I be if I didn’t believe something was wrong me…what a brilliant question. It leaves room for such a feeling possibility.
I would be more confident in myself. Being able to leave my job that I hate. I would also teach people how I deserve to be treated with love and respect.

I would be taking more risks to express myself and offer creative resources for healing
I would have confidence and have more success in all of my relationships.
It would definitely be freeing.
I would be living in the moment more often.
I would be free, like a butterfly – free to be myself and to accept myself just as I am, without performing for anyone.
I’d be more anchored in the Soul which would make me full of joy and more able to share that joy with others!
Wonderful video. Thank you. I’d be content with me and my life.
I would be more open, loving, accepting and fun!
I would live more authentically without shame.
Wonderfully relieving and hopeful.
Tara Branch always shares the wisest words. Thank you Tara
I love Tara and EVERYTHING she does. Thank you for making her so available!
I would lead a more dynamic life
Very on point!
I would have a job that I really love. I would say frankly and with respect for the other person what I feel or need. I would be able to allow myself to really feel and to recognize my needs.
I would tell myself “it’s real, but not true” every time fear takes over my mind. Thank you for your teaching and guidance.
who does not have fear? very well done
Without fear I would be physically healthier.
