Because living in fear doesn't stop the bad things from happening, it just robs today of its joy. So I face my fears, every single day.
I own them so that they don't own me. All I can do is what I can do. I can keep an eye out for snakes. And jump really high and run really fast if one crosses my path which might not be the bravest response, but nobody can be brave all the time. I can continue to share what I write. I can take care of my health. I can be open to a new relationship. I can trust love, one more time. But most importantly, I can live for today. And I do. I focus on the here and now, not the what-ifs. I don't want to give up one day to fear.
Not this day, or the next one. Or the one after that either. I don't want to waste a single day of my life frightened of what the future holds. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, none of us do, but I do know this: there is a whole life waiting to be lived on the other side of my fears.
And I intend to do just that. And I hope you do too. Be brave my friends,. Posted by Monica at PM. Labels: afraid , bravery , courage , fear , fearless , scared , starting over , Widow. Newer Post Older Post. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.
It's courage that counts. If I were sunk in the lowest pits of Nova Scotia, with the Rocky Mountains piled on me, I would hang on, exercise faith, and keep up good courage, and I would come out on top. I have shown it for years; think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end? We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest. A gang is where a coward goes to hide. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right. It triggers our fight-or-flight instincts and keeps us safe from potential dangers.
Yet, there are situations when it can manifest as a gut feeling or a sudden instinct. Your senses pick up subtle signals you may be unsafe, and fear sets in.
Fear is also a very powerful human emotion. It can guide you towards the part of you that needs the most work. It can be extremely empowering and help you develop into a more confident person. On the other hand, when fear consistently holds you back from living your life to the fullest, it becomes a problem.
Often, this fear manifests as anxiety. Anxiety is a consistent response you have to things that may not pose an actual threat to you. Some examples of this could be:. This kind of fear keeps you stuck in your comfort zone and robs you of opportunities and experiences that can enhance your life. Bravery comes with a lack of fear. It means doing something even though it scares you. Learning how to be courageous in the face of fear takes practice and persistence. Think of it as learning a new skill.
Similarly, being brave when the situation calls for it can also be cultivated. Here are 10 ways to become a more courageous version of yourself:. Never try to sweep your fear under the rug. It will give it more power. Instead, you need to acknowledge and accept your fears. Like we mentioned before, bravery is not about eliminating fear but moving forward despite being afraid. Is it because you may not get it? Are you afraid of rejection, failure , or ridicule? In reality, these experiences can only make you a stronger person, not weaker.
Self-talk is that inner voice inside your head that reveals your beliefs and thoughts. When you start believing these negative thoughts, you sabotage your growth.
