Yes You Are Brave Pawnee Simons

We all have fears. Big ones and small ones. Then there is the worst one. You know what I am talking about. The thing you fear the most. The one that causes the biggest dread. ----more----
It is a very natural reaction to just turn away from this fear. To ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist. It doesn't change it, or make it smaller. No instead it just grows while we are working to ignore it. ----more----
But what if we could face that fear, no matter how big, head-on? How might we change our lives if we could name and face and take the power back from our fear? ----more----
That is the topic of this episode. How we face and flip the script on our fears. You can do it. It is time to stop letting fear drive the bus and you can do it. Listen for more. ----more----

Are you feeling stuck? Today's episode is for me, so I can have some accountability. But there are lots of great things for you in it too.----more----
Let's face the fear of the edit together. I am writing a book and am at the point where it is time to edit. And edit a lot. But it is scary. We all reach places in our goals that are scary and we allow fear to keep us stuck. 
If this is you no matter your goal I have some tips for you.
First reach out for help, and accept the feedback that comes. 
Realize there is no right or wrong answers, just answers
Stop worrying
It is ok to change your mind
Set up some accountability for yourself including a plan, schedule and rewards. 
Be in the scary. 
Find balance and 
Own the self-sabotage. 
Life is amazing but it is hard. And to reach any of our goals we need to face the scary. But you are worth the effort. And in the end, there are no right tor wrong answers for your life, just answers. As long as you are doing things with intention and purpose you will make it. ----more----

We all run out of motivation at times. And it is usually only part way to our goals when we do. So what do we do when that happens? When the well of motivation runs dry?

Today we talk about rest instead of quitting, and how we can keep from giving up when we get tired, first by planning for rest. Then we need to stop beating ourselves up when we struggle—and then be patient with ourselves as we learn to rest. Set realistic expectations for yourself so you are not so frustrated. 
----more----
You are completely capable of doing all the great things you have set for yourself. And you can make those goals and dreams come true. But you will get tired and you will want to quit. That is just part of being human. It is ok to not be motivated, and want to stop. But you can keep going even if you don’t want to. If you learn to rest instead of quit.

Today we talk about peace and what it takes to make it. The word peacemaker can be daunting. It feels large and beyond our ability to achieve. But today we discuss things, doable things that can help us find peace in our lives and peace in the world. ----more----
Join us as we talk about simple ways of bringing peace into our lives. Avoid the fight for the fight's sake so that we can take a stand when it really matters and learn to disagree without being nasty. ----more----

It is that time of year when everyone is setting goals. And I am a big fan of goals. But I am an even bigger fan of action. Of doing whatever it takes to make those goals happen. ----more----
Because setting goals is the easy part. We decide what we want and what we need to do to get there. But there is something that holds us back. A big scary something that keeps us from starting. ----more----
This week we are unpacking that big scary something. We are asking some questions to help us figure out why we aren't moving and start working through them. ----more----
You can do this. You can make all your dreams come true. And you deserve all the happiness in the world. You are worth the effort. I believe in you. ----more----

What do I want? This is a question I think we all ask or would like to ask if we could borrow some courage. I have found that many of my problems come from not being honest with myself. I could never find the happiness I was looking for because I couldn't admit to myself what I wanted. ----more----
This week we have a reflective episode to help you be brave enough to stop hiding from your reflection. To finally get real about what you want and where you are going. ----more----
And if you are feeling awful because you have been hiding, don't. Some of the scariest most difficult work we will do is in our own minds. It is okay to be afraid to move forward. Be scared and do it anyway. I am here to help you through that journey. ----more----
