Ruth Soukup wrote the book Do It Scared, Finding the Courage to Face Your Fears, Overcome Adversity and Create a life you love. She explores what she describes as our fear archetypes. Which one of these resonates most with you?
The Fear Archetypes:
 The Procrastinator; when you are most afraid of making a mistake.
 The Rule Follower; when you are most afraid of colouring outside of the lines.
 The People Pleaser; when you are most afraid of what other people will think.
 The Outcast; when you are most afraid of rejection.
 The Self-Doubter; when you are most afraid that you are not enough.
 The Excuse Maker; when you are most afraid of taking responsibility.
 The Pessimist; when you are most afraid of adversity.
She then outlines these Principles of Courage:
 Dare to Think Big. Stretch goals are the secret to getting and staying motivated.
 Rules are for Suckers. You should never be afraid to think for yourself.
 Always Own It. You are in complete control of the choices you make.
 Embrace Honest Feedback. Everyone needs true accountability.
 There Are No Mistakes, Only Lessons. Every breakdown leads to a breakthrough.
 Balance is Overrated. If everything is important, nothing is.
 Just Keep Going. Nothing will ever take the place of persistence.
