I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

| 0:09.3 | Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life. |
| 0:22.0 | Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. |
| 0:27.0 | In today's episode, I'm talking about courage and courage being a feeling of being afraid but acting anyway. |
| 0:40.0 | Courage in the face of fear is something that we have to come to terms with when we are anxious. |
| 0:47.0 | And like I said in the last episode, I know that you guys all have courage. |
| 0:52.0 | If you're listening to this because you have |
| 0:56.1 | anxiety you have courage just by living with anxiety takes courage. So I know you have it, but I want you to be aware |

So what do we do? of would want to do, get rid of their fear, but I would like to have you frame it in a different way if you could, to actually be able to feel the fear and keep moving forward anyway. Now we may have to make decisions because sometimes |
| 2:47.0 | we are supposed to back away from things that we are afraid of and we learn |
| 2:52.1 | that through our life especially as you are |
| 2:55.6 | clearing out your anxiety and living down the wormhole you will be able to start to determine whether you are feeling fear because you should be |
