2) Fear often finds a place in the body to express itself. Finding where fear is stored in your body is an important next step. Now pay attention to where your fear resides in your body. For each fear you listed above, write down where you experience it your body. For example, in your jaw, your stomach/gut, your shoulders, your heart, your knee, etc.

3) The next step in releasing fear is to feel it fully. Embracing the fear is necessary to release it. Allow yourself to feel them completely. What would it be like to experience that fear in reality? Let yourself sit with and express those emotions as deeply as possible. You need to see it and feel it, in order to heal it. Only then you can breakthrough the fears that are holding you back and experience trust. This will allow you to move forward with trust instead of fear. embrace faith. that fear has been resisting.

Find some time and a quiet space to write about and think about your deep fears. Remember you are safe in the moment when you are thinking about them. If your fears are about a unwanted memory, remember that whatever happened to you took place in the past and you are only thinking about it. Being abble to think all the way through an unwanted memory will teach you that you can overcome the fear. Make sure you have enough time to really work through your fears all the way to the end.

4) Write down what happened as you allowed yourself to experience everything fully.

5) Give yourself permission to turn your fear into trust. Once you have identified and felt your fears fully, you are ready to transform them into news truth of the now.
