February Workshop · Training in Facing our Avoidance

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

I’ve talked with dozens and dozens of people about what they want to change most in their lives … and the most common answer is something along the lines of, “Get better at taking action on the things I’m avoiding.”

When we have resistance, we tend to put things off — call it fear, procrastination, or avoidance, we all do it somewhere in our lives. That’s not a problem, but if we can get better at facing the things we’re avoiding, our lives can start to transform.

We can start to tackle the projects or tasks or emails we’ve been putting off. We can tackle our clutter, finances, and health. We can have difficult conversations, even do things fearlessly sometimes.

This is something we can train, through repeated practice.

That’s the topic of our February Fearless Living Academy workshop. We'll cover:

  • Understanding avoidance and its costs
  • How to create greater awareness of what’s happening
  • Training your capacity to stay
  • Moving from avoidance to choice, responding with intention and courage

This 90-minute workshop will include my teaching, as well as time for coaching and questions.

Join Fearless Living Academy to participate in this live session and train the ability to face what you’re avoiding, with support, coaching, and community.

with gratitude,
Leo

The most common blocker I’ve found for creators, entrepreneurs and leaders is the feeling that you’re not ready yet. This single feeling is responsible for people delaying their creations and businesses, looking for answers outside themselves, and staying stuck for much longer than needed. It’s simply self-doubt. This is why July's Fearless Living Academy workshop is called, “Shipping Before You Feel You're Ready” … we’re going to look at how to overcome that doubt and leap into the unknown...

Often we get stuck in choosing what path to take — if you’re at a crossroads, or in the middle of a life transition, getting clarity and choosing can feel impossible. When the choices feel uncertain and complicated, and the future feels unclear … we can take “I don’t know” as the final answer, or run from the decision through distractions. But this leaves us stuck. There’s a more liberating way, and I’m going to share that in our June Fearless Living Academy workshop, called “The Practice of...

We don’t often realize it, but we’re mostly living out a version of ourselves that we’ve decided to be a while ago. This isn’t a bad version, but it’s often stuck in outdated ideas about who we have to be. There’s also a version of you that already knows how to do the thing you’d like to do. It’s not about knowledge, or even being capable of it — it’s about how you see yourself. Who you’re being when you face the work — and who you need to be, for the purpose in front of you. This month’s...
