Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches

Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life.

Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's episode, I'm going to talk about

not letting fear hold you back.

Now, we're going to talk a little bit about basically what fear is too,

but I want to remind everybody that we all struggle with fear and worry from time to time.

And depending on how stressed we are, how busy we are, how healthy we are, we are going to handle it differently, the things that come up.

In fact, in many cases, we can look at fear as not being such a bad thing. It can actually be good and healthy.

It causes us to do things that are healthy for us such as we wear seatbelts because we have a fear of what could happen to us if

we were in an accident.

And we eat healthy often because we have a fear of what the processed foods and unhealthy ways of eating can do to our health and our wellness.

Fear keeps us from doing things that will hurt us, like getting too close to a fire or getting

too close to a ledge when we're out hiking or jumping into a lion's cage at the zoo.

Like we just wouldn't do that because we have the natural fear of it.

And it goes beyond even the understanding of that that's not a good thing to do.

But we just feel the fear of a big ferocious animal,

and so we wouldn't go too close to it.

So it's also natural to be concerned about our health, our bank accounts,

our job status, our children, our parents, and anyone that's important

to us, and so much more.

When something threatens one of those things, we take notice, right?

It comes into our awareness and totally grabs our attention.
