I would be a financially successful, heart- fulfilled, community minded business owner who raises the consciousness of humanity through my work. I would be healthy, strong, and flexible. I would be happy with myself.

Wow! who would I be without fear, this is HUGE! As I sit with this , I’m feeling into the lightness joy and Freedom of being able to be. Just be. whatever that looks like at the moment. The fear all of a sudden feels so heavy.
The lightness brings with it the desire for creativity and fun.
laughter and courage.
Love this!!!
Thank you !!
Right now this talk is very helpful for me. I am in a depression/anxious state
and I know that the basic thing is–fear of failure. I want to take a course that
will be challenging but I feel I can do it. But still, I run from enrolling because
I am afraid I will fail and prove my own worst feelings about myself.
Everything Tara says, I know is correct for me. Tara is, for me today, a
great thing for healing. I thank her.
I would be wide awake in every mundane moment, sensing the deep gratitude and beauty. I would be slow. Brimming over with compassion – never taking things personally. I wouldn’t wait to begin things – big and small – that would benefit others, myself and the planet. I would be full of faith and trust in the great mystery and the pure, ever present awareness. So much gold!
Without fear, I would pursue my dreams and not be held back by self-doubt and limiting beliefs. I would move freely in the world and not question myself.
I am over 60 and despite a successful career I have been anxious and fearful every step of the qay. It cost me so mucj energy to overcome my fears each time. INSTEAD OF FACING THEM, I closed my eyes and did what I needed to do..I rhink now, that I undershand better what is meant by facing the fear..
This work is very valuable and requires continual effort, especially when the story has been present a long time. It can be helpful in immediate situations to lessen the grip of the trance, and over time help to befriend one’s self. Creating a kind of nurturing that was absent or missed in early life that often sets the stage for the trance. Thank You!
I have found that my fearless heart is always afraid theses days. I understand that I’ve become addicted to the fear thoughts and seek them out each morning before I start my day by reading the most reckless news online.
Thank you for this collection reminding me to take care of myself right now.
Without fear, I would quite likely feel calmer, more at ease and more welcoming of ALL of life experiences – pleasant, unpleasant and neutral. Without fear, I would be able to quite naturally and without self-consciousness experience a sense of flow with myself and my feelings – allowing them all in equal measure to arise, have their life, then dissipate of their own accord without engaging in stories and responding to internal messages to assess for threat and respond with appropriate defensive strategy. Without fear, it seems like I might have access to a lot more of my life force, my energy for creative expression. Without fear, there would be more expansion, less contraction.
When I was 55 I received a diagnosis of ADHD and this knowledge altered the how I understood my life. There have been many struggles throughout my life experience in school and work. My path is strewn with career disappointments, running into lots of walls-metaphorically and the frustrations of being intelligent yet limited by dyslexia and ADHD. I have unrealized passions and thwarted goals. Who would I be without fear? Who would I have been without ADHD? I know I am more than my ADHD however, learning anxiety plagues my every move with doubt. My fear is fed by the above realities.
this has been eye opening. i don’t really remember when i did not have that fear and sense of failure. not a great buddy to have, at all. it really is a problem at work. i should have a sense of humor and the “see less flaw” person.
I would be able to experience the natural joy of being alive, and I would have an peace and resilience that would help me appreciate how precious and wonderful life is despite the inevitable difficulties and pain that arise. Thank you, Tara, for these teachings.
I‘d be a compassionate, confident yoga and meditation teacher happy to share the gifts other people tell me I have with the world. Helping others to grow, transform and shine their light.

Please let us know on the comment board how you will use some of these ideas in your life or work.
One request I have is that in the future you reference which event, speaker or other you are referring to. I wasn’t sure where that link went. I trusted you folks but it helps people like me to know where they are going at least in a vague way.
Thanks
I would feel free and unafraid. I would feel free to love without fear. I would feel free to just be. I would feel free to give more of myself. I would feel happier and safer. I would feel more relaxed. I would feel more calm. I would feel lighter. I would be kinder. I would suffer less. I would feel more deeply. I would connect more with others. I would be more connected to myself.
Who would I be if I did not believe something was wrong with me?
I would be using my legal skills to greater effect in benefiting those in the world who are unrepresented (including those stakeholders who are voiceless from a legal perspective except through NGOs or just not represented e.g. the soil itself) and ignorant of their rights (particularly the exploited in the commercial world).
I would be more dynamic and focussed on creating a better world rather than fearful of what might happen to me while so doing.

Thank you for so ably presenting such clear and precise information on the subject of fear.
Without fear, i could have accomplish more, have a more positive outlook on life, and believe in myself and my capabilities, to face life as a stronger person.
Since i have been listening to your program, it has helped me to see myself in a more positive light, don’t get me wrong, i have never doubted my capabilities, but I could have been more assertive and make better decisions. Practicing Mindfulness has also been a great help.
There is no doubt when you turn around and face your fear you, more often than not, find out that the fear was imaginary and not worth running away from. This gives you courage to face new fears and cultivate confidence in your life
I would be free to be the best possible me.
I could be anything! I could walk firmly and willingly, freely, through life – meeting each instant as it is, and not as my version of reality.
Without fear I would be my true self and not someone who tries to fit in or be like others
I would be a financially successful, heart- fulfilled, community minded business owner who raises the consciousness of humanity through my work. I would be healthy, strong, and flexible. I would be happy with myself.
Free to be authentic in the present moment without anxiety and self-doubt.
I would have so much energy to enjoy life!

I would be more me. Free from wondering what others think. such a relief and such peace.

I’d be far ahead . Holding back has been painful
Oh, I’d be a much more sociable, and free individual.
Awesome information. Very empowering.
A Confident, motivated, more productive and clear minded person with more time to think creatively
Great information as always!
Looking forward to the recording!
My being’s presence would be one of ease and cellular aliveness.
Thank you so much for all that you do, and for just being you!
Thank you Dr. Brach. Very good presentation.
I would be at peace with myself my perception of my body Image would be great instead of always unhappy with my body
Thank you Dr. Brach. I have been struggling with OCD most of my life and this talk reminded me that OCD is very much related to self-doubt.

I like the statement real but not true.
Excellent presentation!
I would have my own healthy cooking class.
I could focus on the positive and have more energy
I’d be free to be me. I would be free to be happy.
this has been eye opening. i don’t really remember when i did not have that fear and sense of failure. not a great buddy to have, at all. it really is a problem at work. i should have a sense of humor and the “see less flaw” person.
I can apply these techniques and theories with almost all of my clients. Very helpful information
I would be able to experience the natural joy of being alive, and I would have an peace and resilience that would help me appreciate how precious and wonderful life is despite the inevitable difficulties and pain that arise. Thank you, Tara, for these teachings.

I would be clearer in my thinking, in my purpose, and trust my level of expertise.
I would be happy; calm; less isolated from others.
I would take more chances.

This really resonates with me. Thank you for your guidance.
flying!
I would be a stronger person perhaps similar to how I am now perhaps more true to myself and maybe I would have a little bit more fun and ease.
Grateful for your wise words, always.

I would be calmer, happier, and have more of my energy available for the things that I love.
I found the exercise helpful
I would be able to open myself up more instead of staying small and hiding the most creative part of me. Thankyou Tara for such beautiful work
