Day 1: Noticing the Fear

Welcome to Day 1 of the Self-Awareness Challenge: Catch & Reframe Fear-Based Thoughts!

Before we can shift our mindset, we first need to recognize what is already there. 

Today's focus is simple but powerful: notice when fear-based thoughts show up.

Fear Has Many Faces

Fear isn't always loud and obvious. Sometimes, it is that little voice whispering:
    🔸 "I'll never be good at this."
    🔸 "What if I fail?"
    🔸 "They probably don't like me."
    🔸 "I should just stay quiet."

Other times, fear disguises itself as frustration, procrastination, perfectionism, or self-doubt. It sneaks in when we are about to try something new or put ourselves out there.

And here's the kicker: we often don't realize it's happening.

Today's Challenge: Noticing the Fear

Your only job today is to pay attention.
📌 When do fear-based thoughts pop up?
📌 How do they make you feel - anxious, doubtful, stuck?
📌 Do they change how you act or react?

Instead of judging yourself for having these thoughts, just notice them. Pretend you are a detective, collecting clues.

🗒️ Pro tip: Keep a small note on your phone or a journal to jot down any fear-based thoughts you catch today. Awareness is the first step!

Remember: Today isn't about changing anything, it is about building awareness. Because when you see the pattern, you can shift it.

So, go about your day, be curious, and simply notice the thoughts that come up. You might be surprised how often fear tries to take the wheel!
