Reminds me of the Walt Whitman reference in Ted Lasso - “be curious, not judgmental”. Is fear just judgement about our potential ability to navigate a situation? Maybe we should be more curious about our own capabilities.

I do like a simple question, "How good can I be?" Don't think I would suggest this to others, as good and bad are pretty judgmental by nature. But I know what I mean when I ask it of myself 😊

Every day is a new opportunity to be curious. What we can do and go through are amazing. Thank you for this. I was raised to toughen up and fight through, running has taught me to feel all the feels.

Thanks for this comment. I go to this mantra quite a bit in long run days: "Float, don't fight."

Aww, yay! LOVE THIS. Curious is my very favorite way to be, so it makes perfect sense to also apply that to fear-based thinking in hopes of staying light while navigating big feelings.

Afterall, (apologies for quoting the Pretty Munch playbook, ie: website, here), curiosity allows us to step outside our comfort zone and experience the richness of life. ✨
