FEAR – The Other Side of Excitement

FEAR – The Other Side of Excitement

Mary Baker blogpost, Uncategorized adulting, beauthenticmentoring, excitement, fear, frightened, Keryn Young

By: Keryn Young, healer and life coach

I don’t honestly recall having too much fear growing up. I mean as a child you think of the “boogie man” in the shadows or being frightened if someone jumped out at you unexpectedly, (the games we play as children). Excitement, well that was birthdays, Christmas, School Holidays, spending QT with Mum and Dad (being present in the moment), creating things out of nothing, dance and more.

As children, we are born into this world with a blank canvas, we learn from our parents, those around us, the world that we are exposed to. FEAR is something that is learned and given time, those FEARS are set and used to get us safely through daily life.

Fast forward to doing the adulting thing, fear comes in many different forms and with it brings on a whole new litany of things that one must process and walk through – of course, mustering up the courage to push thru the FEAR Fog to get to the “other side”.  Which, if done, culminates in a massive positive exhale, high five, doing the happy dance and achieving the desired outcome.

Fear also has this uncanny knack of showing up at the most inopportune times, when you least expect it and typically when decisions need to be made regardless of if it is a huge life-changing one or something simple like walking out the door.

It takes time, self-awareness, and the desire to learn what your fears are how they are integrated in with self-sabotage, what triggers them, to learn where they came from (typically a childhood learning), why fear still exists in adulthood, whether the fear still serves you and of course, how you can work on your fear to use it to your advantage to find the momentum to move through it and forward in life.

When Sitting Still Feels Unsafe: The Fear Beneath the Stillness

Most people don’t talk about how uncomfortable it can be to just be. To sit still. To slow down. To be quiet for even a few minutes. Because when there’s no task, no distraction, no one else’s needs to manage… that’s when the noise shows up. The racing thoughts. The guilt. The “shoulds.” The deep […]

When Survival Mode Becomes a Way of Life

If you’re always waiting for the next shoe to drop, it’s time to ask—what part of me doesn’t feel safe? We’re not meant to live with our shoulders up to our ears. But for many of us, being “on edge” has become the norm. You might call it anxiety, overthinking, or burnout, but often, it’s […]

You Can’t Be Honest When You’re Bracing for Impact

We all want to be emotionally honest. To speak up when something hurts, to ask for what we need, to be seen and understood for who we really are. But here’s the truth: honesty doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You can’t be emotionally honest when you’re constantly bracing for criticism, correction, or shutdown. And you […]
