SHOWNOTES
EPISODE 5: FEAR

In today’s episode of the Jenni Carroll Perspective, the exploration of fear takes center stage. Our discussion delves deep into the intricate layers of fear, a pervasive but often unnoticed aspect of our lives; one that significantly influences our choices and path.

As we go about making the decisions that shape our lives, we are influenced in both positive and negative ways. Constructive motivators include goals, interests and responsibilities, and we often make choices that are in alignment with these values. However, we also are motivated by worry, anxiety, and other negative emotion. Underneath all of these adverse feelings is the existence of fear.

No matter who we are, our unique personality or path in life, fear is an influence in our lives. The extent to which we allow fear to motivate us has a lot to do with how aware we are of its presence and whether or not we are willing to confront it.

Fear manifests in various ways, from common (conscious) worries to subconscious beliefs about change and loss. Our deepest unconscious fears involve the inaccurate presumption of scarcity and separateness. While full understanding of these concepts can be difficult, it is important to be aware that fear is at the source.

Perhaps the most striking aspect of fear is its skillful concealment beneath emotions such as anger, resentment and sadness. We discuss the importance of identifying and retracing our feelings to uncover the subtle fears ultimately steering the choices and behaviors that shape our lives.

When we are not aware of the fear we carry, we often respond to our environment in various dysfunctional ways. All of these strategies have the unfortunate effect of creating other forms of negativity. Perhaps the greatest consequence of fear is that it keeps us from making authentic decisions and ultimately gets in the way of our purpose.

Thankfully, we do have the ability to liberate ourselves from fear's grip. Confronting fear head-on weakens its hold and exposes its vulnerabilities. Of course, this confrontation should be an intelligent and healthy approach to personal growth and liberation, rather than recklessness.

The principles of Intrinsic Worth and Primary Awareness support us in overcoming fear. When we are aligned with our Intrinsic Worth, we are better able to renounce the fear we hold. Developing a strong connection to our Primary Awareness aids us in finding clarity where fear has confused us.

Getting over our “fear of fear” is a big part of changing our perspective and returning control to our highest and most authentic selves. Tune in to this important episode to better understand the fear keeping you from your greatest well-being and authentic path.
