Be Brave! Mindful Kids: An Activity Book for Children Who Sometimes Feel Scared or Afraid

Product Information

Sometimes, it can be addressing the elephant in the room or establishing boundaries with someone for your own mental health. You don’t know the way out of your current situation yet because you haven’t yet spoken the truth of your desire to change. So, bravery does NOT mean having no fear, it means feeling the fear and having the courage to do it anyway. But, by not listening to your intuition and going after your true passion, you could be limiting yourself and avoiding a career that's ultimately more fulfilling for you.

Let's look at eight steps you can take to not just put on a brave face but actually use your life experience to find a real source of courage within yourself—and become a far more brave person in the process. From chasing your dreams and standing up for yourself to making new friends, courage is something we all have within us.It can also help you be more confident in your ability to achieve challenging goals and be independent.

Speaking your truth CAN be terrifying but it is also liberating and it’s often the first step in the journey.You’ll be far more accustomed to the uncertainty that comes with that decision and know that you’ve gotten through an uncomfortable situation before—and you’ll be able to do it again. Sometimes when we face our fears, it is almost a matter of survival… when I finally faced some of my demons around alcohol and negative patterns of behaviour, it really was a matter of survival because these things were slowly killing me — alcohol led me to some very dark and dangerous places, and sometimes, I am genuinely surprised that I am alive. After all, fear is and has been a normal and healthy response to threatening situations since the dawn of time. Classic business systems (think: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) require you to assess the likelihood of failure and the potential negative effects. Often, I have people telling me things like — “Oh, wow, you’re so brave, I couldn’t… move to a new country, start a new job, follow my heart without logic, post my writing…” Or insert anything else here.

Demonstrate a healthy embrace of challenging situations yourself, and explain how and why you go about facing these situations.Go after the promotion, say "hello" to that person you’ve admired on the bus, or volunteer to lead a fundraiser for a local nonprofit.
