Favourite quote
FEEL THE FEAR...AND DO IT ANYWAY
Often we think, 'I'll do it when I am not so afraid.' But in reality, it works the other way round. The 'doing it' comes before the fear goes away. The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it.
The Five Truths about Fear
- The fear will never go away as long as I continue to grow.
- The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out... and do it!
- The only way to feel better about myself is to go out... and do it!
- Not only am I going to experience fear whenever I am on unfamiliar territory, but so is everyone else.
- Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the underlying fear that comes from feeling helplessness.
- I'll Handle It! ---- Susan Jeffers
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters Written by Portia Nelson
‘Be careful what you let become critical to you. Try to get yourself into situations where the most urgent problems are ones you want to think about.’ - Paul Graham
‘Animals are my friends, and I don’t eat my friends’ - George Bernard Shaw

‘It is perfectly human to be afraid and, while afraid, that one is still obliged to live one’s life and to undertake one’s journey.’ (Hollis, 1994 p. 90)
Robert Hilleger says, ‘Shame started as a two-person experience, But as I got older I learned to do shame all by myself.”

4 MAY 2022 · Today we're talking about why you should consider choosing joy and play in your everyday decisions and in your weekly and monthly plans.
Play is a fundamental way that we create joy in our lives and it is often one of the fastest ways into creating great relationships. I believe that this is an essential part of life that we miss out on when talking about our health and happiness and I was glad to hear Amy's thoughts on how to bring it more into our lives.
Amy Guerrier is a play facilitator and practitioner, as well as being a renowned coach. You can find out more about her at www.wholeheartedaf.com and at wholehearted.af on instagram, where you can reach out to her for 1-2-1 or group coaching.
