Hello Tara,
thank you for your work.
Without self doubt and destructive limiting thoughts, I would be more open, generous, calmer and happy. But how to do that without being vulnerable energetically to others?
I’d be free and happy and able to connect more easily with others and the world around me. I’d be more present and less caught up in the trance of anxiety and unworthiness. Thank you, Tara, for these wonderful videos. They’ve helped me already get a sense of what a life without fear might be like.
Who would I be if I didn’t think something was wrong with me? I think I would reach out to my friends and family more, take more risks and believe in myself for things I think I am weak at (public speaking, standing up for myself etc…).
Real but not true. What a brilliant way to work ourselves out of our trances. I’m excited to get started. The way you’ve explained it and how it works to support the mind while helping it transition to a healthier belief is very useful. Big Thanks!
I would be more relaxed in my relationships, I would allow myself to trust, connect and intimate with others. I would laugh and enjoy every moment more. I would stop burying my creativity and I would attempt to make real all ideas I have.
I would be a published author, entrepreneur, and yoga teacher.
I am 47 years old and spent most of my life and career in performance mode trying to impress, appease and care for others.
I never ASKED for anything because, at my core, I felt unworthy and was terrified of rejection.
I’ve been working on healing growing and changing. sometimes I get frustrated at how long it is taking for me to find a new feeling of professional connectedness and belonging. but i keep on truckin.’

It would not mean that I would achieve more success in my career. Seeking to be the best at everything has been exhausting and never enough.
I would be a peace in my thoughts which would make room for an increased ability to offer kindness and compassion to others. It would silence my ego!
Twenty years of chronic pain, cause unknown. Appreciating with amazement just how far I’ve come, rather than what may lie ahead. And being able to honestly say to myself “ Wow, this experience has made me into who I am today-thoughtful of others, kind and 🥰 loving.
Running away from what we’re feeling make us lose our balance .. & what we keep running away from grows bigger & turns into a giant ..loved the animated scenes..good job
Real but not true! Loved this insightful lesson. It is certainly my number one fear, so I very much relate to this teaching. Without the fear of failure I know that I would be more satisfied with life.

I am frequently “fearless.” The feedback I have gotten from those who stuck around is that I terrified them. When I operate from “fearlessness” I step into a leadership role which isn’t always comfortable because it requires energy and follow through I don’t always have or am willing to do. As I mature, I’m more willing to listen and be silent, even when I have solutions I know will work. But my fearlessness has taken me to amazing places, both personally and professionally. And I confront the ramifications of these choices every day.
I have been using the tools and practice of mindfulness, self compassion, and yoga for the last 6 years to support and help me in my grief journey since my son Austin took his life.
I have been wrestling with how I move from broken-hearted to broken-open hearted.
I have always struggled with the fear of “not enough”, not smart enough, not enough confident enough, not comfortable enough in my own skin to show up fully and be seen.
Those lifelong fears along with my grief have been a huge struggle. I have continued to move forward in becoming trained to teach a beautiful curriculum called, Learning to Breathe, but still can’t seem to fully show up to do it.
My sins death has taught me that I cannot waste time with this one precious life I have.
I would live to have some applicable tools in working through this.
Thank you so much for all you do to ease suffering in the world.

No one is “perfect” no matter what they do. Because everyone has a different idea of what perfection is. When I confront this, I ask myself who’s idea of perfect am I trying to emulate and why? Nature is a great teacher for me. God thought the porcupine was “perfect,” poison ivy was “perfect,” tornadoes are “perfect.” If I am the best example of me, I must be perfect too! My young beautiful boyfriend thinks I am perfect. I am old, fat and nearly bald! Should I blame him for not seeing me the way I see myself? I don’t think so 🥴
I‘d feel free. I‘d feel freedom and openness, boundlessness. My creativity would also be boundless. Also my courage. My love. … I‘d love to live a life like this! Yeah!! 🙂
Thank you for this wonderful question! My challenge now is my insecurity in the English language.;-) – My answer: I would be able to trust and to feel the benevolence of Life. I would feel joyfully connected to the world, to the universe. I practice that every morning in my meditation, but this beautiful state is vanishing during the daily work. How can I be more present through the day…? – Greetings from Germany
many thanks for a very easy way to understand our conscience controling us.
self reflection with wise cognitive message can go a long way.
However,my question is ,how can you work on trusting others,however much confidence you have in yourself,when in reality everyone,except your parents will have their own agenda while loving you.
Unconditional love is only for babies,if the parents are mature enough to provide it
I really appreciate your experience and wisdom.
I am happy where I am,with autonomy vs high expectations of others.

Without fear, i can be the light for my clients in a way most therapists cannot do. Without fear, I can guide from the soul. Without fear, I have been able to reach self actualization. Without fear, I have become who I was destined to be.
Consciousness is a wonderful place to be!

Always lived believing that something many things are wrong with me.
I am not sure. I do believe some of my fears have lessened and do love the practical tips you are giving us, M
I really enjoyed your three step process to helping my clients reduce or eliminate fear. Great work.
I will be a freer person. someone who is not limiting herself. someone ready to take risks in her work life as well as in her personal life.
I would be more relaxed in my relationships, I would allow myself to trust, connect and intimate with others. I would laugh and enjoy every moment more. I would stop burying my creativity and I would attempt to make real all ideas I have.

a strong allower for peace and love
Who would I be?
I’d be happily married or in partnership with an available mindful partner and family.
Robust Tranquility free of worry and moving from the propulsion of my heartfelt resolve
Thanks for these actionable strategies to relieve deeply held limiting beliefs. I really enjoy and appreciate your effective work!

I would be bolder, take more risks, and not obsess over what others might say or think about my actions and decisions.
Thank you for this. I love the simplicity of ‘real but not true’ 🙂
Listening to you just now Tara i can say Ive lived with confirmation bias my whole life
Makes me sad
How about fears over illness? They go way beyond self doubt.
It would not mean that I would achieve more success in my career. Seeking to be the best at everything has been exhausting and never enough.
I would be a peace in my thoughts which would make room for an increased ability to offer kindness and compassion to others. It would silence my ego!

I would be kinder to all people.
I would be an entrepreneur. Fearless of working towards my business and my skills. I would be fearless of rejection from people I love.

More connected with myself and others and more willing to express my internal world

It is chronic when I fear of losing balance and that somehow I am imperfect no matter what I do
No one is “perfect” no matter what they do. Because everyone has a different idea of what perfection is. When I confront this, I ask myself who’s idea of perfect am I trying to emulate and why? Nature is a great teacher for me. God thought the porcupine was “perfect,” poison ivy was “perfect,” tornadoes are “perfect.” If I am the best example of me, I must be perfect too!

Fifty-nine years a prisoner. Could have been unstoppable.
At peace and happy!
A more peaceful & grounded person
Connected to myself & others!
I‘d feel free. I‘d feel freedom and openness, boundlessness. My creativity would also be boundless. Also my courage. My love. … I‘d love to live a life like this! Yeah!! 🙂
sounds fantastic, but the deamons are so strong!!!
I would be me
I wouldn’t worry about things out of my control.
great series, looking forward to the program!

Read my Book based on my dissertation.
Epidemics: Fear and the Dementia Connection (2019) by Nancy Holm Dawson
The best version of myself
Without fear, I’d be who I really am – with everyone.
I enjoy life! I would be at peace.
Deep peace and love

wildly rich and famously kind
Real but not true – only a movie in my mind. Who would I be if I didn’t believe something was wrong with me. Deep and scary questions – offering hope

This is so needed in the world right now – our traumas make the story seem so real, but we have a purpose here on this planet that must be fulfilled
