What if I post on the internet, and the people who hate me see it, and they make fun of me, and everyone laughs, and I get cancelled, and I end up homeless and alone? Fear is part of us and it exists for a reason. It comes from embodied instinct, from ego protection, and from the culture around us. Its job is to stop us taking big risks, anything that could impact our status or security. Usually that looks like avoiding the unknown. The cost is that most of what we want, and most growth, sits on the other side of that fear. What to do The best way to work with fear isn't to get rid of it. It's to meet it and see what it's actually about. How to do it Get your journal out and write down all your fears about showing up on social media. At least 10 or 20. Take the one with the most emotional charge and elaborate on it. Follow it to its conclusion. What happens next? Then what? Then what? For example: everyone realises I'm a fraud, it spreads across the internet, it ruins my reputation, no one wants to work with me, and I end up destitute under a bridge. Once you've found the fear, feel into where it lives in the body. Meet it, breathe into it, accept that it's there. Then see it for what it is: a story. What's next Spend some time working through this, then share your experience in the comments.
