The days when I set aside some time for myself made all the difference. It had me showing up better him and had me being my best self. It’s so important and something I’ve been trying to work on.

Face Your Fears

Mind

In the spirit of Halloween, I thought I’d write a post about fears. Fear is such an interesting and powerful emotion – in the words of Franklin Roosevelt, “there is nothing to fear but fear itself.” Fear has its purpose, to keep us safe, but when does it become something that saves us from dying to something that controls us?
