IGNTD: Healthy vs. Unhealthy Fears

Healthy vs. Unhealthy Fears

Jan 18, 2019

Today’s topic is fear. We all have them and sometimes they even hold us back from doing what we love. And, even if we don’t see them, they’re still there. It’s part of what being human is. A lot of people think that their end goal should be having no fears at all and being completely secure in all aspects of their life, but I don’t think that’s the right goal. Fears and insecurities can actually drive you to do better.

In this week’s episode, I want to help you by addressing some of the most common fears, giving you some techniques and systems that you can put in place so that your fears do not become debilitating, and also (most importantly), differentiate between healthy fears and unhealthy fears.
