How are you really doing right now? If you were to be true to yourself, are you living your life from a place of Fear, Excessive Worry, and Anxiety?

Does it feel like you can't control it? Is this how you want to show up? These are essential questions to post to yourself because there is no doubt that you are somewhere on the Fear Scale.

Fear is something that is advantageous to our survival as a species, because it serves the purpose of protection. However, how much fear is detrimental? When you stay in fear, what happens to the quality of your life experiences?

People are either surviving this period in 100% protective mode or they have found peace with the circumstances around and have found a way to thrive in uncertain times.

This video will go into showing you where your focus is and how that will continue to play into the person you are showing up as. Ask yourself this question. Is Fear Winning In My Life?
