First of all, Happy New Year! I hope you had a raucous or relaxing celebration, whichever your heart desired. Either way, I’m sending you my biggest and most sincere wishes for an amazing 2013.
I had a note on my calendar this week to write about fear; specifically, about being afraid of something and doing it anyway (it being New Year’s resolution time and all).
As I started thinking about fear – what I’m afraid of and how fear affected my decisions in the past 12 months – I realized that I write on my blog about fear A LOT! Fear of exercise. Fear of change. Fear of NO change. Fear of sugar. Fear of dark leafy greens. 😉
And that I write about things that I notice in myself.
I talk with clients about fear a lot too. We might not call it fear, but resistance to change – even if it’s change that you desperately want – is all about fear, isn’t it?
In today’s video, I’ll share some of the things that scared me in the past 12 months – from major to minor – and how I moved through to the other side. (Hint: It’s less about willpower than you might think.)

Some things I mentioned in the video, in case you’re interested:
- Flywheel Sports
- My online health coaching program, 6 Weeks to Effortless Eating & Ultimate Self Care
And here’s a book that I’ve found helpful for moving through fear: Do The Work, by Steven Pressfield. Read it. Repeatedly.
What scares you? How will you be afraid and do it anyway in 2013?
Share your thoughts in the comments (or just send me an email if you’d rather). I love hearing from you!
