Have you just tried to write down the thoughts and words that come to you when you think about your fear? Sometimes just listing things can help you figure out what you want to say. When you try to write complete sentences, the pressure to write well gets in the way of knowing what you want to say.

One of my biggest financial fears is being tied to my job because of the stability and ease but low paycheck. Because my job’s so easy and so flexible it’s hard for me to leave and get over my comfort zone to put myself in a better financial future.

Good luck!

Take care, from Sweden.

While that’s easy to write and remember fear is still something hard to walk through.

It’s a brave thing to look within. Remember to be kind to yourself when you are not figuring things out as quickly as you would like. Most of us spend a long time hiding from our truth. It’s not generally something that is uncovered in an instant.

The nice thing is, once the reveal is done, what seemed so scary and insurmountable no longer looks so bad. Then, the next time we’re faced with some fear we’d rather avoid, we can say to ourselves, “Wait a minute. I know how to deal with this. I recognize this pattern. How did I get through it before? Oh, yeah, I remember. I took one little step in this direction and then another. I kept making little strides until I was completely though to the other side.”

Looking into your heart and mind to face your fears is a really hard thing to do. Courage, my friend. Courage!

I hope that the rest calms your mind and gives you peace.
