Thank you Tara for your brilliant approach.
Without fear I would be more spontaneous, showing up more to share my wisdom and talents and truly SHINE. The encouraging thought is that this is still possible, even so much later in life.
Blessings on you!
I would be bringing a lot more to the world, challenge stagnation and I would touch a lot more lives, encourage them to make this a kinder place to live in.
I would be more available to serve others! I would not submit to my cravings that cause me suffering! My addiction to food would be more easily dealt with so I would not participate in harmful thoughts and bodily actions.
I would be willing to try new experiences, start new projects, venture out of my comfort zone, speak my truth more often, be more peaceful and less overwhelmed.
Without fear, I would experience a much greater degree of self-actualization in several areas of my life. Thanks, Tara, for sharing such simple but powerful tools that can be applied to worry/anxiety as well as other stressful thoughts and feelings.
I would be someone who would simply get on with what I loved to do. I will have negotiated the limiting factors that might have prevented me from reaching that place, where I experience the energy and joy of doing what I love, unimpeded.
As a person who, in the past, had always allowed herself to be controlled by fear, self imposed, my mind is open to the limitless of this idea. While I’m in a much better head space fear can still strike, over certain things in life, it would be both a relief and peaceful to not be overtaken by this emotion.
I could live my life better and would not be so fixed to myself. On the other hand one part of my life I really know very well would be missing. This will surely bring me away from my „comfort zone“. I feel fear by imagining this….
This rings very true with me. After a lifetime of living with chronic anxiety I feel the doorway is opening (at the age of 75) to emerging from it. Thank you, Tara!
Without fear, I would have the confidence to perform music and sing in front of others. I suffer from terrible stage fright and I love the ‘idea’ of playing live but it frankly terrifies me. I’d love to conquer this.
Who would I be if I didn’t believe something was wrong with me?
An open, fun loving woman, who stepped into her fears and difficulties rather than eating them and hiding away.
I would be living life with a free spirit, and be the sort of uplifting person that lights up a room when they enter
I would accept what is and never feel a need to control others, allowing them the freedom I have myself
To be optimistic, courageous and mentally resilient. With so much fear within me, I’ve been consumed by an addictive behaviors most of my life. I am tired of defaulting to the negative. Without fear I just might be able to take a few steps forward with a little more ease.
The simple phrase of Real but not true is so very helpful. I can use it in so many different circumstances, whether it is fear or anxiety . thank you so much for this phrase .
I also like the question about who you would be if you didn’t believe something is wrong with you.
Without fear, I would be more courageous. I would not procrastinate. I would be bolder in pursuing my dreams. I would feel better about myself and have a more fulfilling life.
I would be present, and happy to live in the moment.
Instead i’ve struggled, to be a “success”, commodifying each part of my life in service to the dream of “more.”
I would be trusting and more connected to different people.
I would trust myself more and accept my vulnerability.
I wouldn’t live my life expecting rejection.
I know some fear is healthy and I want be befriend the fear and live at greater ease with it because I don’t think fear can or should disappear even though part of me hopes it would.
I would be very free and I would allow by self to make questions to others and allow my self to say what I feel and think to others and to take part in more activities despite I am going there alone, and I would allow myself to be more curious about other people and activities.
To be honest I watched this because Fear appeared in my feed or my inbox this week, a week when I’ve already scheduled to get intimate with fear. Naively I’m checking in with a list of emotions one week to the next, fear is up. Serendipity! So, when I watched this short video with Tara, I feel a hole opening up where I have not really dared look at who that person is beyond that fear. It’s not like I haven’t been exploring self limiting beliefs and related ideas *for a while* now. So it’s a shock to find on this occasion, that it’s really a pretty confronting question. At the same time, its opened up this vast space I’m peering in, with compassion for what might be there.
It would be a life full of joy, and one in which you feel truly alive. No obstacles. Every good intention could be acted upon. The focus would always be the present moment.
Who would I be without fear? I would be free and daring to shine and receive love and light.
Thank you so much for these powerful and clarifying lessons Tara and team.
I would be more in touch with the part in me who is without fear.
Without fear, my thoughts would not be in the way of expressing my True self, i would feel and act more free and joyfull
Thank you Tara for your brilliant approach.

I would be singing. I would be more confident and more accepting of myself without such self criticism.
I would be more available to serve others! I would not submit to my cravings that cause me suffering! My addiction to food would be more easily dealt with so I would not participate in harmful thoughts and bodily actions.
I would be a much more effective therapist helping my clients with more experiential work in session.
I would be willing to try new experiences, start new projects, venture out of my comfort zone, speak my truth more often, be more peaceful and less overwhelmed.
This is an excellent question “ who would I be …” this helps me to answer that I would be free to be myself and to enjoy myself. Thank you Tara

I just want to be happy
I would feel more grownded within my self
I would be someone who would simply get on with what I loved to do. I will have negotiated the limiting factors that might have prevented me from reaching that place, where I experience the energy and joy of doing what I love, unimpeded.

I would be a kinder person – firstly to myself
I could live my life better and would not be so fixed to myself. On the other hand one part of my life I really know very well would be missing. This will surely bring me away from my „comfort zone“. I feel fear by imagining this….
I would function on much higher levels with my thoughts and endeavours .
I think I would be exactly who I am now with less chatter about how I’m not measuring up and more ease in my day.

A more confident and compassionate therapist
I would be the me before the event that started my fear of abandonment. I would fall in love with myself.
I would visit the places in the world I’ve always wanted to see

I follow your work always
A singer and an art therapist a healer….
A singer and an art therapist a healer….
I would approach people in more relaxed way and have more fun in those contacts
The woman I ‘want’ to be, that I ‘know’ I could be and ‘can’ be. Be able to fulfill my potential. Be my authentic self.
I would feel better and have a more fulfilling life
I would be able to contribute.
I might be more free to take up more challenging opportunities as they arise, instead of shying away from them.
I would be who I am already…
I would be able to live more fully, and be more in peace with myself.
Without fear, I would be more courageous. I would not procrastinate. I would be bolder in pursuing my dreams. I would feel better about myself and have a more fulfilling life.
Perhaps I could approach things with a new curiosity, more actively and compassionately, as is explained to be the result of mindfulness practice.
Who would I be without fear? I am someone who implements my ideas and serve people at a higher level.
I would be present, and happy to live in the moment.
Instead i’ve struggled, to be a “success”, commodifying each part of my life in service to the dream of “more.”
An absolute waste.
Free to make mistakes without self condemnation, free to enjoy my moments and take in, reach out for what I want
A higher expression of myself.
Very clear and useful. Thank you.
I would be trusting and more connected to different people.
I would trust myself more and accept my vulnerability.
I wouldn’t live my life expecting rejection.
I know some fear is healthy and I want be befriend the fear and live at greater ease with it because I don’t think fear can or should disappear even though part of me hopes it would.
I found this practice to be so helpful
I would be very free and I would allow by self to make questions to others and allow my self to say what I feel and think to others and to take part in more activities despite I am going there alone, and I would allow myself to be more curious about other people and activities.
Endless potential
I would be a happier person without procrastinating so much.

I would be free from restrictions and would be able to connect with others without mistrust… just enjoying life
