Workshop: Overcome Your Fears and Start Living
DAY 1: ceoMom Workshop on Overcoming Your Fears
on the job training for the executive domesticWelcome to the ceoMom Workshop on overcoming fear and anxiety. We will be focusing on “mom fear” or excessive worrying; however, the techniques we will show you during this Workshop can be applied to all types of fear. So whether you are afraid to leave your house with your baby or you’re afraid to speak in public, the tools we will learn will help you overcome your fears and help you start living your best life.
Fear can stop a mom in her tracks. It can affect where she goes, what she does and who she is. Fear can take the life right out of you. Let’s face it: Moms worry. All the time. We worry about the health of our children, scheduling doctor’s appointments and whether or not our kids are eating enough vegetables. What about helping our kids with their homework, hoping they’ll pass the test and get into college? We worry about the safety of our children, crossing the road, buckling in and driving to the store accident free. We could literally write pages on what a mom worries about, but it typically boils down to one statement:
“I want my children to grow, prosper and be happy.” Anything that can affect that, we worry about.
For many moms, everyday worries can turn to unhealthy fear in one split second. The moment you find out you are expecting a child, you begin to worry. And those feelings continue, escalate and multiply as your child begins life, taking the first step, starting kindergarten or turning 16. When worrying turns to fear, it can immobilize a mom. It starts out small and then grows, squeezing the life right out of you.
Here are a few signs of a mom paralyzed by fear:
-- Staying home because you’re afraid to travel with your children, even short distances
-- Tightness of breath or shallow breathing
-- Afraid to drive on the freeway with your kids
-- Making excuses to avoid spontaneous activities
-- Turning down playdates or looking for reasons not to participate, sometimes making up illnesses
-- Refusing to or having difficulty leaving your kids, even if they are in the best of hands
-- Constantly checking on your children while they sleep
-- Triple checking to make sure your doors are locked at night
-- Not liking being in crowded or enclosed places like movie theaters
-- Getting uptight or upset trying to keep your children safe in public areas
-- Afraid of anything that could potentially cause harm, no matter how unlikely, such as lightening storms, a buzzing bee or crossing a quiet street
Moms do not live their best life when they are overcome with fear. In fact, fear changes who you are. It keeps you from doing the things you set out to do and experiencing life in its fullest state. Fear holds you in a box and closes the lid. And unfortunately, you pass that fear on to your children, too. Franklin D. Roosevelt once said: “The only thing to fear is fear itself.”
In the coming days we’ll show you what you need to do to create balance in your life, discovering a new perspective and finding yourself in the process.
Love,
