24.01.2022 ... People who follow you on more than one will get bored if it’s all repeated - and, each platform should have a different angle/audience. #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong

24.01.2022 Decided to grab some reading material to freshen up my thoughts and ideas. Its been a while since Ive had the brain capacity outside of work to read something, so looking forward to digging in (and sharing with the team!) What are you reading right now? #playbigbrandbold #thisismarketing #alittlelightreading

24.01.2022 Remember: your thoughts become your reality! Try to get into the habit of practicing positive thinking (and gratitude), this is how were able to create a positive external environment. Its a bit like when youre buying something new, like an SUV. Once youre on the look-out, you see them everywhere. A positive environment is a healthy environment for success, abundance and growth. #business #positivevibes #quotes #inspiration #inspirational #positivity #gratitude #goals #motivationalquotes #digitalmarketing #motivation #socialmediamarketing #insire #socialmedia #branding #inspired #getcreative #success #happiness #growth #mindset #mindful #life #marketingdigital

24.01.2022 Tool Tip Thursday: Did you know today is World Password Day? (I think theres a day for anything and everything if you look hard enough...) Today this is really relevant - because were all online so much more, our software service are all moving to software-on-demand online, and our lives are now more online than ever! While we might not think having crazy strong passwords for everything is practical, people make money out of hacking your systems and selling your informatio...n. Scary stuff. But remembering a gazillion strong weird passwords is rarely anyones forte so, why not use a password tool! I use Lastpass and I love it! Its on my computer, my phone and almost every device I use. I can access my passwords easily from my browser, from my phone... Heres a great article from them to let you know what the stats and dangers around passwords are... See more

22.01.2022 With the news updates changing on a daily basis, and everyones news feeds filling up with all sorts of information (and misinformation) about Coronavirus, we thought it important to share a message of positivity and hope today. Alongside all of your preparations to protect yourself and your family from sickness, dont forget the huge role that positivity plays in protecting your physical (and mental) health! Get some sunlight, enjoy some rest and most of all fill your thoughts (and your news feeds) with happy, life-giving stories of hope.

22.01.2022 With the year coming to a close, it’s easy to look back at 2020 and only see the negatives. But it’s so important to remember all the good things to come out of 2020, and to be excited for what’s to come in 2021. What do you want this next year to look like? The first step towards a great year is having a positive attitude. So here’s to a year that’s full of all the good things. The everyday moments that take our breath away, the sublime moments that bring us joy, the simple... pleasures we often take for granted, the people and the places we love. Happy New Year, 2021! #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong

22.01.2022 The coffee’s hot and the toddler’s out the door! Cheers to a happy Monday

21.01.2022 Sometimes it’s important to take a step back and see the big picture. Taking the time to simplify and clarify before you act can make a world of difference! #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong

21.01.2022 Dont you just love spring? The new growth, the flowers, the promise of warmer days? We do! Happy Spring Day!

20.01.2022 Do you ever feel discouraged because you feel like you’re not making progress on your dream? Or maybe you feel too overwhelmed to take that first step. Well, here’s the thing: you’re not on a time limit! Your dream can take as long as you need it to, and any progress - no matter how small - is still progress! Now go out there and make that dream happen!! #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong

19.01.2022 There’s no way around it - honesty really is the best policy! #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong

19.01.2022 What are you up to today?

19.01.2022 To those who left their homes and the people they loved to fight for our country. We remember you. To those who stayed at home caring for family and fighting from afar, we remember you. To the men and women standing on the frontlines and defending boarders not your own, we acknowledge you. To those who served, those who loved, those who lost and those still serving. We remember you. #lestweforget #lestweforget #anzacday2020 #anzacday

18.01.2022 This remembrance day we honour Muriel Wakeford of the Australian Nursing Service. Muriel Leontine Wakeford was born in 1887 in Bathurst, but lived in Wollongong when she was enlisted to serve in the Australian Nursing Service in 1914. She served on board the Gascon, a hospital ship moored off the coast of Turkey, from November 1914 until her retirement in June 1916. Nurse Wakeford kept a journal during her time away. She regularly sent letters back home that were published in... the Illawarra Mercury and The Shoalhaven Telegraph describing the challenges of war and the spirit of the Australian soldiers. One such letter reads: We arrived last Sunday, at about 5 p.m. and at 7 a terrific bombardment commenced; seven or eight battleships firing practically together made a din and a terrific one, I can assure you. The rifle fire is continuous, and as soon as darkness comes the flashes are visible. I could scarcely have believed we were so close, and feel absolutely no fear. The Shoalhaven Telegraph, Wed 30 Jun 1915. Her reporting inspired Australians back home, and especially here in Wollongong, to continue to support the war effort. Today we recognise and honour Nurse Wakeford for her service to our community and the Australian war effort and pay tribute to her and her family. For more inspiring stories of local people who served in the first world war, visit Illawarraremembers.com.au

18.01.2022 With all the talk about what you cant do at the moment, we thought it would be helpful to share some insights about what you can do in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. From accepting change to finding alternative ways of doing things, here are our top tips for adapting to the challenges of COVID-19 - and coming out stronger in the end. #covid19 #betterstrongertogether #Coronavirus #workfromhome #betterinbusiness #marketing #smallbusiness

17.01.2022 Spend time doing things that bring you joy! Whether it’s spending time with family, trying a new hobby, or even having a coffee! Even when life seems crazy, taking the time to do something you love can fill you with energy again #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong

17.01.2022 Out with the old & in with the new! Technology is constantly changing. That means there are often new opportunities (if you look for them). When Dynamic Moves Dance Studio’s website started getting out of date, and wasn’t mobile friendly, Belinda took the opportunity to review what she could do to better utilise the new tools available. The result? A fresh new look, with an online enrolment process that just made life so much easier - for Belinda and her students! ... Websites can do so much more than just share information nowadays. Remember that when you next review yours! #Wollongong #Australia #LocalBusiness #Business #PositiveVibes #Quotes #Inspiration #Inspirational #Positivity #Gratitude #Goals #MotivationalQuotes #DigitalMarketing #Motivation #SocialMediaMarketing #Inspire #SocialMedia #Branding #Inspired #GetCreative #Success #Happiness #Growth #mindset #Mindful #Life #DigitalMarketing #MindfulMarketing

17.01.2022 May your week be productive, your children be calm and your meetings be few....

16.01.2022 I’m grateful to call Australia home At this point in time - that’s everyday I recognise the day we’ve chosen to celebrate For our first people grates I acknowledge the pain you feel today... So, I’d like to say ‘Thank you’ When I look at the place I came from And see how blessed I am in this time Right here, right now... The opportunities my children have The struggle across the world As they’re held in pandemic panics and lockdowns As they look to Australia to see how it’s done I’d like to play my part in closing the rift By creating a little perception shift... Today - especially today - I say ‘Thank you!’ To Australia’s First People, to our people, The Dharawal Nation I acknowledge that this was your home first And I am so grateful that I get to share This blessed land with you! #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong #AustraliaDay

16.01.2022 Sometimes the smallest adjustment to your thinking can make the biggest impact. Yesterday I braved doing a live Insta story to talk about gratitude (if you know me, youd know Im a bit camera shy). The gratitude movement is a real thing and it can really change your life (its funny, youll find nothing has changed, yet everything has.) I know this first hand. Having a gratitude mindset changes your thinking - it takes your focus away from what you dont have and what isnt... working out, to what you do have and what is working out for you. When you sink into feeling thankful for something with your whole heart, it can really lift your spirits. The other magical thing that happens is your mind becomes open to opportunities rather than just seeing the closed doors. Something that can help you both in life and in business. Today I challenge you to find one thing you are really grateful for and to sit with it for a while, really feel that feeling of thankfulness till it fills your whole being (and if youre up for the challenge, why not share it with us in the comments).

13.01.2022 What a beautiful setting to think about my day, plan things, meditate and look for guidance. This mornings walk was as beautiful as ever and I must say I feel so blessed to be able to start my days with a walk along Northbeach. As often happens when I take a moment out to think, relax, and enjoy nature, a little inspiration came for something were planning. Yes, weve got some real goodness coming and were starting to get really excited about it. Its a little something f...or those of you who are in a small business, often work from home (so not getting in that office socialising) and maybe would like a little support in actually running your business. If youre keen to know more (when the planning is far enough to share) why not join our waitlist and youll be the first to know when this surprise is ready! http://bit.ly/39C9gD3

13.01.2022 The origin of high heels can be traced back to the 15th century. Where Persian soldiers wore heeled shoes to secure their feet to their stirrups. The trend was then brought to Europe by Persian migrants, where male aristocrats wore them to appear taller and more intimidating. A product or concept may not suit the needs of the current market any longer but that doesnt mean the idea is redundant. An idea has the ability to evolve into something more than you ever had in mind, ...there is the possibility that your initial idea was just a stepping stone to lead you to greater things! Maybe all it takes is evolving your strategy? Just like the heeled shoe, the concept was not a new one when women started buying high-heels, the product just needed to be marketed to a new audience. #business #positivevibes #quotes #inspiration #inspirational #positivity #gratitude #goals #motivationalquotes #digitalmarketing #motivation #socialmediamarketing #inspire #socialmedia #branding #inspired #getcreative #success #happiness #growth #mindset #mindful #life #marketingdigital

12.01.2022 Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Easter!

12.01.2022 How well do you know your customer? Getting to know your customer can change the way you do things. In 1939, Kansas Wheat identified that their customers were using the sacks their flour was delivered in to make clothing due to lack of finances available to buy fabrics, so Kansas Wheat started using patterned material for the dance so at least women could dress in style! If you take a look online there are even photos of the women in their new clothes, all thanks to Kansas Wheat. Now that’s what we call customer focus! #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong

12.01.2022 The word mistake has such a negative connotation. No one likes making mistakes! But if you don’t make mistakes, you’ll never learn, and you’ll never improve. If you want to be the best version of yourself, you have to get comfortable with making mistakes #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong

12.01.2022 This will help you know where you need to be. When you’re aware of who your target audience is, you’re able to tailor your content to suit them! #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong

11.01.2022 How life feels is so often impacted by what our focus is on... and this year Ive seen cancel 2020 posts aplenty. Today I was surprised to see one that challenges us to change our perspective. Its good food for thought.

11.01.2022 OMG! Yes, when I walked into our local Eat Street Market and saw the doughnut stand I just ignored it as I usually cant eat them. My daughter says Mama, theyre gluten free and that was me gone. No way! I squealed. OMG. Yes, I had to buy 3 and taste test. For the first time in almost two decades I got to eat genuine doughnuts with no consequences. Then I see their business name - OMG Doughnuts! I have never seen a more apt business name! Does your business name and brand reflect your business well? If it doesnt, it may be time for a review.

11.01.2022 Were becoming masters at mindful business and mindful marketing - its how we operate. Now Im not talking about the practice of MINDFULNESS - although that has proven benefits for business people - were talking about the old fashioned meaning of being mindful... The dictionary definition (bear with me here) is being conscious of or aware of... Of what you ask? Well, of your business, your resources, your capabilities, your time and your needs as a person and a busines...s owner. Why are these so important? Well, although marketing has best practice recommendations, sometimes these recommendations wont work for your business. Would you believe me if I said "THATS OK"? Yep, you heard me. In business and in marketing, we are strong believers that YOU need to work out which bits work for you and which dont. Which is where we come in! If working out what to keep and what to throw away all feels too hard, were here to help! Shoot us a message to discuss your business needs today!

11.01.2022 Weve been a little quiet again! Taking time out of the school holidays to rest, reset and just catch up after financial year-end! The Illawarra is full of opportunities and freelancers who are willing to help businesses who have been hit hard by COVID19 this year, and lovelyBek Lambert from Freelance Jungle has launched a project to help connect small businesses with freelancers in the Gong that can help them get some marketing advice and support to try and see their way through what is proving to be a tough year. If this looks good to you, or you know a business that can benefit from the project, share this with them and get them to sign up for some free support (and like and follow the project page - Get your Gong on).

10.01.2022 Ever feel like there’s too many social media platforms to keep up with? I know I feel that way sometimes! So take it one step at a time - start with one, and work your way up from there. Before you know it, it’ll be a breeze! #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong

10.01.2022 If youre anything like me right now, it feels a bit like the world has gone cray-cray and my head is spinning with all the messaging coming through. Weve been quiet. I needed to STOP and work through all the fear, craziness and overwhelm of messages to take stock before choosing a way forward. I want you to know that is okay - you dont have to change the way you did things yesterday already. It wont hurt you if you take a couple days to adjust to the new normal and work t...hrough what you need to do In fact, you might find doing that leads to better outcomes than crazily rushing through to new things. Waiting allows you to take stock, weigh up your options and work out what works for you So, in this time of high emotions and anxiety and craziness, I give you permission to STOP - BREATHE - ACKNOWLEDGE your feelings and LET THEM PASS - then to weigh up your options and then ACT.

10.01.2022 Today we treated our team to a mental health /wellness day. Its been a busy few months, and the stress of getting the business set up and adapting to life in the new post COVID world has taken a toll on all of us in many different ways. We needed a break, and what better way to take one than by setting aside a whole day for a whole lot of pampering by the beach. ... We started the day with a perfect pampering session @ibahthirroul (in North Wollongong) followed by lunch the beach. Were really sad that the lovely Amanda and Laura were unable to join us (but theyll get their turn soon). Stress and anxiety takes a toll on all of us, and we all respond to external pressures in different ways. If you are finding this time particularly tough, you are not alone. If you need someone to talk to, or help or advice about how to talk about mental health with your friends, check out @ruokday. They have a bunch of helpful resources about how to navigate the pressures of everyday life and how to talk to people about mental heath. So how about you Are YOU ok? If not talk to us. Send us a PM and well help you find someone you can connect with personally. We want everybody to be ok... and not just ok... great. #ruokday #mentalhealthdayoff

09.01.2022 This holiday season, it can be easy to get so swept up in the busyness of it all - the cooking, the planning, the presents - that we forget to enjoy ourselves. Why not take a moment to stop, breathe, and be grateful for this time? Starting your day with a grateful heart can help you stay focused on what’s truly important. What are you thankful for? Let us know below #Wollongong #WollongongMarketingAgency #WollongongDesign #WeLoveTheGong #Grateful

09.01.2022 I am loving the posts Im seeing on Instagram at the moment. The photos of people connecting online, children playing on the rooftop in Spain or the backyard in Australia, people out in nature walking and connecting with the outside world. People sharing their positive messages of hope and what they are learning through this time. Its interesting that in nature and in life there are seasons. Summer and winter, hope and despair. One of my favorite quotes of all time says, "We...eping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning." (Psalm 30:5) Its such a helpful reminder that no matter how dark the night is, there is always a new morning to look forward to. In marketing and in life it is SO important to share messages of hope. Our job as marketers is not only to sell products, but to tell a story. And in times of darkness and despair people need stories of hope more than ever! Business owners need more than a new website or social media coaching. They need HOPE. Hope that this season will pass. Hope that customers WILL come back. Hope that their business will not fail. Hope, because there are measures they can take to get through this difficult season. There IS hope in the morning. If youre struggling to maintain hope, reach out to us! We are here to support business owners and people like YOU, who may need a step up at this time. For a limited time were offering reduced cost coaching and mentoring for small business owners who need some help and support, so if this sounds like you please reach out. We are here for you and here to help. The seasons will change. The tide will turn. And there WILL be hope again in the morning. #smallbusiness #hope #covid19 #marketingmatters #marketing #wollongongsmallbusiness #wollongongmarketingagency See more

09.01.2022 These last few months have been hard. Work, life, family has all blurred into one. Our social lives have stopped, and re-started in new and often difficult ways. Weve had to re-assess our priorities and make difficult decisions. Perhaps some of us have had those decisions made for us, and weve been faced with powerlessness and desperation like weve never experienced before. For others we may have had a little more time to breathe, to rest and pause amidst the fast-paced d...emands that often cloud our minds and stop us from stepping back and seeing the bigger picture.Perhaps for you this time has been a dream, a rest from the weary pace of modern life. For others this may have been a nightmare you cant wait to escape from. For all of us this has been hard.As mindful business owners many of you have been faced with tough choices about your business. Many of you may be longing for things to get back to normal.But let me encourage you to stop. Before the busy creeps back in, before the family gatherings overtake the weekends and before the work overtakes your life, lets pause, just for a minute and remember. Remember what weve learnt through all of this. Do you want your new normal to be the same as before all of this began? Or is it time for a change?Its not often in life we get the opportunity we have all been afforded recently, an opportunity to stop and re-assess what is really important in life.As things return to normal, remember YOU are the one who decides what is normal. You can decide where to spend your time and invest your energy. YOU decide whats right for you.Dont let the new normal overtake you. Instead create the change you want to see in your life and your world today.If you need help lifting your gaze above the challenges youre currently facing, why not give us a call?Were here to help you see the bigger picture, give you your Wingz, and then set you free to fly.. . . #wingzmarketingau #wingzmarketing #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinessaustralia #wewillgetthroughthistogether #wewillgetthroughthis #workfromhome #worklifebalance #wollongongmarketingagency #smallbusinesswollongong #wollongongmarketing See more

09.01.2022 So Im feeling all the feels today, missing my friends and wishing I could hold my family closer in my arms! But despite the distance were all experiencing, Im feeling all warm and fuzzy knowing that my family are only a phone call away, my bestie is waiting on the other end of the phone for a Zumba chat, (I know, right! ), and Im able to meet with other like minded business-mums over a coffee catch-up online. We really do live in the best of times. Lets remember to be thankful for the things we do have and remember those who are facing much greater challenges. And lets not forget to make those phone calls, share those virtual hugs, and work-out with friends via video chat! Were all in this together & it will be worth it in the end!

09.01.2022 If theres one thing weve learned from Covid 19 its the importance of profit first business planning.

Thankfully, were here to help! If you are ready to change things up in your business, to make sure you are turning a profit and paying yourself a wage plus super, were here to help!

09.01.2022 I am loving having the opportunity to work one-on-one with some amazing ladies about their business growth and getting their businesses and lives to connect the way they want them to. We like to call it Mindful Business and Mindful Marketing - when your business actions are mindful of where you are in life and what your resources are... One of the biggest things Ive discovered is the importance of mindset in creating a successful business. Do you have the right mindset to make a success of your business (and life)?

07.01.2022 Today I am grateful for this woman. Joan! You inspire me and your team of wingz women in so many ways.

06.01.2022 Tool Tip Tuesday: Wed like to give a shout out to a fellow Australian brand doing great things in Australia! Metorik is a software tool you plug into WooCommerce to get great real-time stats on how your online sales are tracking, automate your abandoned-carts and heaps more. If you have an online store and havent got a handle on your reporting (or want to add easy abandoned cart functionality) then give these guys a go. Theyre a really supportive and friendly bunch! (And y...es, Im biased, theyve just shown me service above and beyond and thats worth sharing with the world!) Take a look: https://metorik.com/

05.01.2022 There is no shame in doing things for YOU. It isnt selfish, its necessary. There are times when we need to put ourselves first, reassess our lifes direction and possibly change our route and define exactly what we want and need. How can we start achieving what we want to achieve if we arent certain about where we are headed and what we want out of our life? #business #positivevibes #quotes #inspiration #inspirational #positivity #gratitude #goals #motivationalquotes #digitalmarketing #motivation #socialmediamarketing #inspire #socialmedia #branding #inspired #getcreative #success #happiness #growth #mindset #mindful #life #marketingdigital

05.01.2022 To the mothers wearing too many hats, juggling too many balls and spinning far too many plates. We see you. To the mamas waking in the wee hours of the morning, pacing the hallways, changing the nappies and patting those tiny little babes back to sleep. We see you. (Weve been there too!) To the mamas holding little hands, helping little hearts embrace the wins and the falls while i do it (my)self. We see you.... To the mums tired and struggling to breathe, under a weight of pressure that never seems to lift. We see you. (Continued in comments)

03.01.2022 So weve been a little quiet on the socials lately, and to be honest, its because weve really needed the time to breathe. The world yells to us to hurry up. Dont stop! Be always moving on to the next thing. But honestly, sometimes you do have to stop. If there is anything the world is teaching us now its that we need to take time to slow down and BREATHE. And you know, just be real with ourselves. Are we really running in the direction we need to be? What would you do d...ifferently if you had your time again? What do you need to change to be happier, more fulfilled (in work and in life)? Were asking these questions, and more, of ourselves at the moment. Will you join us? In the busyness of life, what do you need to change to be happier? More fulfilled? If work/life is getting you down maybe you need to stop, just for a moment, and breathe... Listen to what your heart and your spirit are telling you. Are you heading in the right direction? Or is there something you need to change? What have you been reflecting on today? What do you need to change? (Shout out to Rise Retreats for your encouragement to be still and breathe today. For more mindfulness techniques you can follow #31mindfulmoments this month.)

03.01.2022 Are YOU whats holding you back? Ive had the pleasure of working with and mentoring some beautiful people. I learn just as much as they do during mentoring sessions. One of the biggest things weve learned along the way is that most of us have daily habits or a particular mindset that is actually preventing us from reaching our full potential. We have become so programmed by society and have gotten so caught up in the rat race we call life that we arent getting the chance... to become who we truly are and who were being called to be. Your breakthrough wont come through until you identify the negative belief systems and thought patterns that are holding you back, after all the first step to change is awareness! Ive just finished reading an amazing book written by Bruce Lipton, and it was like I had aha moments every other chapter. I hadnt realized just how programmed our subconscious mind can be. Changing that programming isnt always as simple as having a morning affirmation - it would be a bit like trying to get Microsoft Word to do something its not programmed for simply by talking to it nicely, a bit pointless. We need to do the inner work alongside building business foundations. By finding those programmes and re-writing them, while learning how to functionally build a better business model (one that works for you), you can find the pathway to a better business and life! #business #positivevibes #quotes #inspiration #inspirational #positivity #gratitude #goals #motivationalquotes #digitalmarketing #motivation #socialmediamarketing #inspire #socialmedia #branding #inspired #getcreative #success #happiness #growth #mindset #mindful #life #marketingdigital

02.01.2022 R U OK? Reaching out can change a life. If youve noticed someone in your life seems out of sorts, ask them if they are ok. Maybe they just need to know someone cares, maybe they need to talk, maybe they need help with something? We shouldnt wait for people to reach out and ask for help. Sometimes they dont know how to or it can be that they dont want to burden you. If you want to check-in on someone but dont know how, there are 4 steps that help to initiate a conversatio...n that can change a life: Ask R U OK?

02.01.2022 We’ve been reflecting on the theme of NAIDOC Week 2020, always was, always will be a lot this week. I think I easily take for granted the privilege of living and working in such a beautiful place in the world. But this week is a good time to pause and give thanks.... To give thanks to those who have travelled these lands for thousands of years before I arrived here. To say thank you for preserving and protecting these beautiful lands we live in. To recognise that our Indigenous leaders, have a knowledge and an understanding of our environment that goes back beyond European settlement. To acknowledge that The very first footprints on this continent were those belonging to First Nations peoples.* This NAIDOC Week we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging who have cared for and managed the lands we now call home, here in the Illawarra. I pray that we can move forward as a nation, acknowledging our history and respecting our Indigenous leaders, so that together we can live in and care for these lands we now call Australia in a way that is just, equitable, and sustainable for all future generations of Australians. #alwayswasalwayswillbe #naidoc2020 Source: https://www.naidoc.org.au

01.01.2022 As people, we are constantly trying to define things and put them in boxes. Sometimes this is helpful, and sometimes it isnt. Lately, there has been a lot being said about FEAR. FEAR is being defined as "False Evidence Appearing Real". The idea behind this is to help us see that FEAR is a false feeling that can be dissolved and overcome. But as with most things, squeezing FEAR into a box isnt always helpful. FEAR should be defined relative to your situation. For example, w...hen Im facing a rabid dog who is growling at me, its not False Evidence Appearing Real, it is real. In this instance, that fear is there to preserve me and to change my reaction to the situation (I mean its a really scary thing). So, any emotion, like fear, has a good side and a bad side. For FEAR, the good side is instinctive protection, the bad side is when a general FEAR, such as the FEAR of failure, is holding me back from living my life or running my business the way I really want to. In this instance, False Evidence Appearing Real can be a valid definition of what Im feeling, especially as failure isnt a guarantee but succeeding wont happen unless I push past that FEAR and try. With FEAR, there are two main courses of action: Forget Everything And Run, OR, Face Everything And Rise. Next time FEAR bubbles up, before pushing it aside, be mindful about why its there and what its trying to protect your from. Once youve identified the source of your FEAR, you can decide whether its false evidence and you can keep moving or whether its a valid emotion truly there to kick your protective instincts into gear.
