4. What does Fear look like?

5. What are the root causes of fear?
• A distressing emotion aroused by impending
danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real
or imagined; the feeling or condition of being
afraid.
• Fear is an innate emotion that triggers our flight
or fight or freeze reactions.
• Fear is your perception of an imagined future
catastrophe resulting from what you are afraid of
doing.
• Fear is just an emotion, which begins as a thought
and then moves to our physiology as anxiety and
panic.

6. What is the purpose of fear in your
human capacity?
• For safety and security.
• To protect you from danger.
• To protect you from others that may harm you.
• To protect you from making mistakes.
• To align you with the fear of your parents or
culture.
• To affirm your irrational beliefs or belief system.
• To affirm an old message pattern in your
conscious or unconscious mind.

7. Get clear about how fear can
affect you in your everyday life.
• Loss of your inner power.
• Fear and shame can be coupled emotions that align
with a trauma memory from your past.
• Living consciously or unconsciously in fear can
constrict the flow of light to you.
• Fear can hold you in a place of safety and live your life
being risk adverse, thereby not growing or evolving.
• Living a life where you don’t grow or evolve, you don’t
live your life to its fullest.
• You can live in a self induced box.

8. Let’s Review your
SELF Sheet
“A Deep Look at Your
Relationship with
Fear”

9. Ask Yourself……..

10. “You gain strength, courage, and
confidence by every experience in
which you really stop to look fear in
the face.
You must do the thing which you
think you cannot do.”
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

11. Are you ready to look
fear in the face?
If you were talking with
your fear,
What would
you say?

12. Have a chat with your fear…
• Have a conversation with fear. Find a
partner for this experiential exercise.
• You will have 2 people; a sharer and a neutral
observer in your group. And you will have 3
chairs in your group.
• You will face the empty chair who will be
fear. You will play both roles, you and fear.
• Your partner will be a neutral observer,
witness and support for you in this process.

13. Questions for fear…..
• What is your role in my life?
• What new role could your fear have in
your life instead of being a roadblock to
your happiness?
• What can fear do to support you in your
life?

14. Now, ask yourself this question
and share the answer with your
partner.
What steps can I take, with the courage to
move forward in my life, and with fear in its
new supportive role?
(Your partner can take notes for you)

the edge of the light
of all that is known,
and are about to step
off into the deep
darkness of the
unknown, Faith is
knowing one of two
things will happen….

something that is solid
or you will be taught to
fly."
