EPISODE 201 REFLECTION QUESTION
QUESTION 1 | Are you existing out of fear?
STACY’S REPLY
Whew, This is such a good question! I can honestly say my answer is no, I am not existing out of fear BUT of course I have caught myself doing this before. I realized that when I am in fear it is because I am afraid of making a mistake and so I began to reckon with my relationship with mistakes. I learned, I can’t get it wrong. Yes, some things can be better but mistakes are lessons, and points of clarity of what I wanted or could have done instead. Once I changed my outlook on mistakes, I changed my outlook on fear and every day am falling more and more in love with the unknown.
