If I didn’t feel something was wrong with me, I’d be more adventurous. I would hike on trails without the fear of getting lost, I would lose something in purpose and realize nothing terrible would happen, I would take a long walk in the rain and not be afraid I would get sick.
I would go in a hot air balloon, I would take a bunch of classes where I’d be a novice and not be afraid of failing or not being in the top of my class… in other words I would allow myself a free range of choices and not be held back in terms of what life has to offer. I want this more than anything.
I almost deleted the email that this presentation was linked with, what a loss that would have been. There is some very helpful information here. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Tara is an incredible guide. ❤️ I first saw her speak about Radical Acceptance and mindfulness for a week in Cape Cod circa 2006. Then, as now, she speaks right to my soul. 🙏🌟
interesting that when I ask that question what I’m going to call manifest things came to mind. I would be free in my social or personal activities. I would be different sexually, I would be quiet certainly more quiet of mind
It has been tremendously helpful for my clients to learn that their fears and worries are not their enemies, but rather their magnificent body & brain just trying to help them. By supporting them to sit with those negative emotions with acceptance, love & appreciation is a powerful tool in facilitating real growth & moving their happiness meter toward the green zone.
You posit a question here that I find intriguing in that “who would you be if…” I find this so valuable as the way I understand real psychological growth and integration is the ability to see and feel a future version of the self that is better than today’s reality. Thank you for sharing this valuable information💜
Marsha Mathews, Psychotherapy, Wildomar, CA, USAsays
Thank you so much, Tara, for your training on fear and anxiety and breaking the worry loops. I appreciate your position on this topic and the focus on the value of meditation and mindfulness practices. Dr. Marsha Mathews, PsyD
If I didn’t believe something was wrong with me, I would be brave and achieve all the projects that I doubt I can achieve. I would still be mindful of the risks but step up when needed. I would attend more social gatherings. I would take in more creative tasks. I would speak up and be ok with failure or vulnerability. I would be my better self, for sure.
Fear is a survival human condition and is required if necessary. In my youth I made the decision to challenge what I perceived to be my fears . Skydiving, living in a different country, culture. fear was not going to dominate me . Now the deep inner work begins of exploring every nook and cranny of where fear is hidden . Confronting my fear self, in itself has fear but it’s me , why am I afraid of me ? . This exploration of real but not true is a complex area and I manage one bite at a time.
I would be able to be one with my inner child and express my creativity. I would do more of what I love and probably be more emotionally balanced. I would have more time and focus because I would not be worrying over everything I’ve done and said.
Nan McGowen, Psychotherapy, Oklahoma City, OK, USAsays
This is so helpful Tara. I’ve listened to you off and on for years. I’m a therapist and what is going on in my state legislature threatens our ability as practitioners to keep our clients PHI private and adhere to our ethics and values as clinicians so there is a lot of fear, anger and sorrow for us and for the well-being of our clients and how this will affect them and how we can guide and protect them at present… but I also recognize this is as you say ‘real but not true’. This helps me immensely to remember who I am and keep that space for them during this uncertainty … than you so very much. Nan
I would feel and live with emotional freedom. That is something I have never known. I am living my purpose with diligence and commitment, but with terror every step of the way. Cant even imagine the joy that would bring. Feels like it would be an intense relief.
Without fear I would step into the wonder of living fully present and alive to the beauty of the world. I would share my gifts and feel free to express myself fully with my art and contribute to the lives of others simply by being my highest and truest loving self at each moment wherever I am and with whoever I come across.
I would be connected to my authentic self. I would have less suffering in my life. I would move freely through my day and by being connected to my True Self, this would bring true connection to others who value who I am. I would be able to be a healing force in the world having access to true empathy and compassion and creativity.
If I didn’t believe something was wrong with me I would be free to be all that I am. I would be free to embrace the whole of me instead of hiding behind my fears and self doubt.
Without fear I would express myself as an artist fully and with huge love and humour. I would act from a place of self-belief to create the career and life I dream of. I would stop procrastinating and I would care for myself.
Thank you Tara for your loving and peaceful presence. Along with that and your wisdom, it allows me to come back to my heart and deepen into my Truth. So grateful for You! With Love and Gratitude ❤️🙏❤️
Without fear, I would follow my dreams without procrastinating, without second guessing myself. I would be excited by the ever-present opportunities before me and experience so much more fulfilment. Dread would go, replaced by curiosity and excitement, and deep knowing.
I face a lot of unspecific fear after a surgery last week. I allow myself to fully be in it, ask somehow for help and feel a release. it is still fragile though. thank you
Without fear I’d be happier, healthier, and clear minded. I’d be able to listen to others better, and to my own inner self that isn’t afraid. I’d enjoy things that I don’t even notice now because my mind is too busy thinking of protecting myself from fearful thoughts!
I would be exactly that – fearless and free! I would not hesitate to work with my clients. I would not be afraid to promote and sell my products. I would feel gratitude for every chance and opportunity instead of fear and doubt.
Without fear I’d be so eccentric and funny, dynamic and happy. I’d be full of imaginative outbursts and flexible tranformations. Social games and creative free play would be my modus operandi. I would feel utterly connected to mother nature and to all people. Thank you for this inspiration!
I think I would be able to see myself as the compassionate heart of this universe sees me, as pure and perfectly made and loved beyond anything I can imagine. I would not doubt or condemn or hound myself as I do, and there would be all that energy I waste on worrying about not being good enough, to actually spend ENJOYING my life and my relationships with others. I would create much less illness in my body because I wouldn’t be constantly fearing and anticipating it. or looking for what is wrong with me. I would know for sure that I wasn’t ‘made in error’ which would make my life feel so much more expansive, and full of opportunities for happiness and time to bring happiness to others too. I wouldnt let myself or anyone I care about speak to themselves the way I have spoken to myself through so much of my life, but only remind them how much they are loved.
I would be adventurous, life loving, full of joy, appreciative of every day. I would find beauty in everything, more deeply connect with others and treasure, nuture those connections. I would grow and evolve beyond my wildest dreams.
I would also find serenity in stillness, peace instead of boredom and have a deep sense of contentment with all I have and am.
I would find my path out of love rather than hold back and live from survival and doubt. I would love myself well and others, free from comparison, competition and doubts.
I would live from a a place of authenticity, peace, love and joy.
Kelly Mulqueen, Psychotherapy, Avon Lake, OH, USAsays
I would smile more. My eyes would be bright and the twinkle of a joyful heart would shine through them. I would be more naturally spontaneous; and also be able to shift to a compassionate presence for myself and others with ease. I would sing more, jump for joy and breathe easy. Moment to moment I’d authentically connect with others. I would realize a new freedom and a new happiness.
Thank you. Kelly Mulqueen, LISW

I might be dead first off!… Without fear I would be an established artist.
Without fear I would speak my truth to everyone I met and I wouldn’t care of the consequences.
Without fear my family would probably not speak to me as I’d point out their toxic co – dependency ways.
Without fear I’d have a better relationship with my husband
Without fear I’d speak up for myself & I’d be free to just be
I would be calm and compassionate, standing on my own two feet, feeling safe and adventurous, being the teacher I came here to be.
If I didn’t feel something was wrong with me, I’d be more adventurous. I would hike on trails without the fear of getting lost, I would lose something in purpose and realize nothing terrible would happen, I would take a long walk in the rain and not be afraid I would get sick.

I want this more than anything.
I would be out pursuing my dreams of travel, outdoor activities and more friendships in a positive and connected way.

I would not be so worried about loss as I grow older.

Thank you for these free videos! Without fear, I would be freer to live, more focused on being present and serving my community!
Without fear I would become my authentic self, believing and following my dreams and seeing that all possibilities are open to me.
My truest deepest self showing up to life fully, genuinely, and without expectations.

I love the phrase ‘real but not true’
Very helpful. Thank you.
Free to be me, trust my responses, feel connected, each moment would be enough
Without fear I’d be happier, healthier, and clear minded. I’d be able to listen to others better, and to my own inner self that isn’t afraid. I’d enjoy things that I don’t even notice now because my mind is too busy thinking of protecting myself from fearful thoughts!

I would be free to breathe fully and really be in the Word. I would be able to relaxa and to reach out.
I would be free, free from the deep seeded belief that I am not enough.
I’d be free from fear so I’d be someone who’s been traveling the world more often and free
l’d be healthier
I’d dance more often
I would be free, free from rumination, cycles of fear. I would be the authentic me.
I think I would be able to see myself as the compassionate heart of this universe sees me, as pure and perfectly made and loved beyond anything I can imagine.

I would be more social and do more activities outside of the home.
I would be me, without the shell; I would shine through. Just me.
Travel, much laughter and loving others!
