Managing fear (yes, managing it)...

Get ready to defeat the Guardians at the Gate [The Writer’ s Life]( April 22, 2024 "Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears." — Les Brown Happy Monday, {NAME}! It's no secret that fear will keep you from where you want to go — if you let it. Fear will get in your way when you're trying to accomplish things, keep you from getting in the zone when you're writing, and prevent you from taking the next step in your career. But it doesn't have to be that way. Because while fear may not go away for good, it can be managed with some simple tactics. In this week's Monday Morning Jumpstart, Jade Trueblood and her special guest, "A-list" copywriter and mentor Marcella Allison, tackle the realities of fear (physical and mental) and offer useful, doable (!) tactics you can use to move beyond it. Marcella reveals some advice she received in a mastermind with Extreme Sports paraglider Nick Greece … someone who would be in big trouble if he let fear take over! She also discusses a tactic I use every day, and can't recommend it enough! Not only will it change your outlook, but it ensures consistent forward progress towards your goals. [Marcella Allison and Jade Trueblood present AWAI Monday Morning Jumpstart on Overcoming Fear]( You'll also hear about the all-important "Guardians at the Gate," and how you can best neutralize them moving forward. Marcella explains this so vividly, you'll never forget it. 😊 This is a brilliant 12 minutes that everyone who's trying to do something brave (like build a writing career) should listen to.
