What are you afraid of? What fear or fears keep you frozen in life? What is stopping you from doing what you want to do? Or what did stop you at one time, and how did you get around it?

My fears have held me back. And that is the part of our life that we are exploring together. Part of conquering the fear, is getting rid of the past that is holding us back. Literally throwing it away. This becomes an interesting exercise every week.

I don't think that my fears are all so different than anyone else's. I have let them become powerful and that is what is changing. Facing each fear and looking at them objectively, figuring out where they came from and if they are a real fear, or a fear fostered on me by my upbringing all comes together-you know what-most of them can be tossed. So far, the only REAL fear I have is the fear of falling, and that one is based in reality. Gravity hurts.

What was said to me as a child in foster home and even after I was adopted was not true..and that fear is gone. Thrown away.

I do need to keep telling myself that I threw it away. But give me a few months, I am a little new at this part of the exercise.
