How I Conquered My Fear of Speaking Up and Unlocked a Powerful Voice Within
1) Understanding my fear
Fear is a complex beast.
It can paralyze you, hold you back, and convince you that your voice is not worthy of being heard. At least, that’s what happened to me.
Every time I tried to speak up, fear would rush in like a wave, overwhelming me and silencing my voice before it could even make a sound.
But I knew this was not who I really was. I had ideas, thoughts, and perspectives that were valuable and needed to be shared.
So, I decided to face my fear head-on. I started by identifying it, understanding its roots and acknowledging its presence.
