"Always go with the choice that scares you the most, because that's the one that is going to help you grow" -Caroline Myss. Thank you so much! I know I will be coming to this video frequently :)
I have a COLOSSAL fear of the dark, of being alone. I hate it so much. And this video actually helped me an LOT. I got to breathe and realize that if I control this fear, I'd be able to sleep better and grow as a person. Thank you so much for this. You made my whole week!
Brian - Thank you so much for this video! It has truly helped me to see my potential. I'm currently working to overcome panic disorder and anxiety, and pushing past my fears is what is getting me there. Thank you for being a light in the dark!
Andy Haut Thanks for your note, Andy! I used to have a lot of anxiety as well and focusing on consistency on my fundamentals (exercise + nutrition + rest + meditation) has been HUGE. Have you seen this? ruclips.net/video/VDTFpQ5JEMA/видео.html
***** Thank you for responding to my post! Wow that means a lot to me. My biggest anxiety comes from coping with change - anything that changes my routine or causes me uncertainty. My #1 non-negotiable self-care habit is probably sleep, although I don't spend enough time exercising to know where that falls in my hierarchy. Any pointers on this? Again, thank you for responding!
Andy Haut My pleasure, Andy! Sleep is huge. I'm a big fan of circadian rhythms and being consistent. In terms of exercise, that could be a REALLY big missing piece for you. Science shows exercise to be as effective as Zoloft. (And that *not* exercising is kinda like taking a depressant.)You might dig this: brianjohnson.me/philosophers-notes/spark/ I'm here to help so let me know if you have more questions, etc. You've got this!!!
I got something out of this. I'm looking to walk through a lifelong fear of public dancing. Failed miserably a few nights ago, but am climbing off the canvas to give it another look. Best I like what you said about not approaching it to get rid of fear, but to walk through it. I've heard the quote by Cus D'Amato where he told Mike Tyson that all fighters felt the same fear, but champions learned to walk through it. Very inspirational. By the way, I'm 61 years old.

should be yes, but this system survives off fear. i think the parents should take more responsiblity in teaching their children instead of leaving everything to schools that work for a much different agenda.
I have been practising positive affirmations, hypnosis, visualisations etc to try and remove fear for years. This, and knowing that confidence is more experience related than mentally related, is the only technique that has helped me achieve the things I want. Thank you :)
Simple, yet brilliant. I've been more or less scared of heights all my life. I took these steps and jumped my first tandem skydive and ENJOYED it. Now I'm seriously considering making it a hobby. Thanks!
Wow! seeing you explain this brings me such clarity. I've never seen it explained this way before. I've been frozen by fear not knowing what to expect, while embarking on a new journey. You now have given me the courage to take action, & allow myself to receive all the Prosperity , and new opportunities that are waiting for me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I am eternally grateful. I love you for helping me to stop standing in my own way.
Brian, your body of work has inspired me for many years. I always look forward to your videos, it's good to have you back in full force again. Have you heard of the butterfly effect? Well,, I think your message spreads through your followers in the best possible direction all over the world. Thank you for all that you do!
Brian... Thank You. With a tear in my eye now, I am your one person you got through to today. I personally have fear running all through me... so the fact that I am even writing this post is a measure of your inspiration!!
Thanks for this Brian! Love the way you do your videos on notebook like this. I have so much that I write in notebook for and never thought to do a video like that. Nice! Also the info is super important. I can't tell you how many times I let fear hold me back into my comfort zone.
I have found for me, when I build up a positive expectation to get myself motivated, and then I fail miserably, I lose some faith in myself and my positive evaluation of situations. It becomes a roller coaster of trying to build myself up emotionally, to just be crushed when I am wrong again. Maybe one or two times of this is okay, but after 10-20 times, I cannot keep tricking myself like that.
Very very very well done. I loved this. I had traumatic events happen to me which in turn left me in the hospital for five months and had to re-learn how to do everything. I deal with flash backs and pain on a daily basis but this video has helped me with taking a different approach to fears. Breath! You have to breath. Think about what you want not what you don't want. Thank you man keep up the videos!
Priceless...simple and clear explanation... thank you so much.... I am constantly fearful of EVERYTHING..it just holds me back again, and again. I am gonna be putting into practice!!
Great video! THanks. For me I have written this statement about Fear on an index card and placed it on my bathroom mirror so I can read it everyday. "Courage is not the absence of Fear, but more the judgement that something else is more important." This statement helps me to get passed fears that I feel at times and helps me to continue on.
Yeah. You are right we can be fearless. It's different ways to look at it. Fear is mostly doubts. & this video helps people get over their doubts & keep it pushing. I love your videos man. I discovered you a few days ago. I'm rolling with you
What a beautiful expression you've created here, Brian! So clearly illustrated and well said plus (bonus!) open and honest ... I so love this! It touched my heart today and gave me something to focus on when I'm feeling fear. Grateful!

It's official - you have definitely reached more than one person with this message. Thank you for conquering your fear and becoming such a great teacher!
Thanks, Brian. Gotta say -- was not expecting such clear-cut, no-nonsense wisdom with a lap-based, non-white balanced video (unless you actually have blue notebooks!). A great photo editor told me, I don't care what way you show me your photos -- just make sure your photos show me something! And you know the best jazz players have the most messed-up horns (Charlie Parker's was in hoc when he needed drug money). So keep dropping wisdom, in any way, shape or form you can. And get that life101 website up -- it's gonna be great, and so helpful to so many people!! Thanks again. Really.
I've been on the self help circuit since I was teenager, reading countless blogs and watching videos. And I got jaded. But watching this inspired me. Even if someone doesn't buy into the subject matter, just listening to you speak passionately is really moving. Great video man. Also editing your notes while you instruct is just damnnnn compelling. Gives me that Draw My Life vibe, and it really held my attention throughout.
Thanks, Brian, let me be that "one person" that responds wholeheartedly and say "Thank You"!!! Sometimes you just need to know someone else is feeling it too!! What you have shared has truly empowered me to launch out even further into the deep to see what possibilities life has for me. I just did a career change and I am now working at a software firm and our growth rate is off the chart and I can see so many possibilities in front of me, but it will definitely stretch me, and I am up for the challenge. I've learned to do things afraid, but now I don't have to listen to that voice that says "what is wrong with me, why am I so afraid?" Now I can say, nothing is wrong, it's just a part of the process. Thanks again Brian :)
Life changing concept. I was in a crippling state of anxiety earlier today...wish I had watched this first thing this morning. Thanks Brian for sharing this valuable lesson.
I don't know how I ended up here, some guy talking while recording a scribbled page... but I stuck with it and oh my god Brian you have hit the nail on the spot! Thank you so very much for this, deeply appreciated!
Ok now you are a good teacher. I can't even see you but your voice is hugely energized. If there's proof that voice can convey huge amounts then here it is. And a great video too.
Brian! I LOVE your video's! And I love you! :) I am learning sooooo much. I am taking notes and soaking it up! OPENING MY MIND and mastering my consciousness! Practice makes perfect! I read your book, A Philosopher's Notes 101... LOOOOVEED it! I was blown away when I read the purpose section. Having thought that my purpose was my calling or my "dream job" when in fact I am my purpose ... to be me. And to live my truth. It really just made complete sense! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you so much. This video will help me throughout my entire life! It already has helped me out a bunch, and it is all thanks to you. You are the BEST!!!
Im telling ya, you are amazing, You are giving me and many others some answers that we are searching for a hard long long long time in our life. Thanks A LOT!
Brian, I couldn't agree more with your thesis. It applies to so many things and I've always overcome fear by rationalising the the result of fear. Think "what's the worst that could happen?". If it's doesn't get you arrested or physically hurt you, you can handle it. I've used this in anything from entering rooms where I don't know anyone to making board presentations. And I can tell you addressing my fears has had a whole lot of positive upsides.
i love this Brian great ilustration,demonstration and technique that makes it more deeply absorbable.thank you i love that ex.even just one person...that very moving & touching especially when your intentions of creation is for the good of those who understands it...i love your brilliance how u come up w/ your own way thats personalized from the knowledge & materials out there...very inspiring ❤❤❤
Focussing on the service you will deliver when you are courageous allows you to reverse your perspective from being about YOU to being about others. Love that. Thanks Brian. Awesome videos. Glad you got through your fear and made them, you're inspiring me to get onto my own videos!
Very good stuff thank you. I have the opposite problem in that I don't actually feel fear that much in many things. This is a BIG problem for my family who have watched me take the most ridiculous risks, sometimes ending up with me in serious trouble in hospital (and a few of those where my life was saved by medics!). My son has hidden my axe because he doesn't trust me with it since I nearly cut off my finger chopping wood, my daughter has had nightmares because of the stupidly dangerous things I've done (like solo a 1000 foot cliff, or swim down a raging river etc) and my wife has gone for weeks without talking to me because she really ends up picking up the pieces when I fail - which has been often. I have to remind myself each time I want to do something not to do it because its so selfish and dangerous. Its not big or clever to have less fear. Fear is the sign that gets held up to you by your subconsciousness to say "have you really thought this through?" before doing something and it should be respected and balanced. I don't want my wife and kids to grow up without me or looking after me following an awful accident. I do love this video though and I think fear (for most people) does hold them back from even mundane things and it must be breached as described to achieve goals. Final thought from one who has gone way too far sometimes. Going to extremes and crashing out in some self created dreadful situation leaves you mentally less capable. It damages your mind and gives you phobias. I can no longer go surfing in big seas because of being swept away one evening by rip currents in the dark with no one around or knowing where I was. I regret doing that because now the sea scares the crap out of me and I can only surf small breaks. So its not true that"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" I'd say its more like "What doesn't Break us makes us stronger" Please don't judge me, because I genuinely try not to do dangerous things (for the sake of my family and friends). Its a conscious effort to draw back each time.
This is really good man. Thanks for the energy and the sharing it's really clear and eye opening. Every video I watch of yours on this channel is inspiring and gives me a sense of clarity, sense, empowerment, and then some tools to go along with it to rattle around and see what fits. Thanks a lot
I've been battling fear to the point where it has literally paralyzed me and your video has helped me to understand that I'm not alone and how to work pass my fear barrier. You're awesome Brian. Thank you.
This was a great video, for a long time I have struggled with fear, and most of the time surrendering to it. I had to figure out on my own how conquer fear, but it would always return, sometimes more so then before. After seeing your video, I now have a better way of understanding fear and how to conquer it. Thank you

I appreciate your teaching method a lot. I learn very quickly. It's simple and effective.Many thanks.
This was a great video, for a long time I have struggled with fear, and most of the time surrendering to it. I had to figure out on my own how conquer fear, but it would always return, sometimes more so then before. After seeing your video, I now have a better way of understanding fear and how to conquer it. Thank you
