February Workshop · Training in Facing our Avoidance

Published 8 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

Many times, as we start out on our journey of self-growth, we think of the things we want to add: exercise, meditation, eating healthy, a morning routine, a productivity method. But as we deepen, we discover that what’s often required is letting go. It’s a powerful part of what we’re doing here in Fearless Living Academy. And it’s not easy. If we can practice letting go though … new possibilities open up. I find that incredibly powerful. That’s why our October Fearless Living Academy workshop...

One of the biggest successes of my life transformation has been continually improving my health and fitness, to the point where I feel genuinely healthy and good in my body. That’s something I believe many of us are striving for, at any age. That’s such a challenge in the modern environment we live in — with digital devices calling for our attention every waking hour, with work that often means being sedentary for hours a day, and with ultra-processed foods so hard to avoid. Pretty much...

Fundamental to everything we do in Fearless Living Academy is being fully present with whatever we do — whether that’s a new habit we’re forming, or meaningful work we’ve chosen, or just being with people who are important to us. That’s become more and more of a challenge in today’s digital landscape, with short-form video content, social media, online shopping, TV shows and YouTube videos, AI chat bots and so much more. Add to that the huge pile of tasks and emails we have to attend to, and...
