Be Brave! Mindful Kids: An Activity Book for Children Who Sometimes Feel Scared or Afraid

Product Information

Examine your fears. We tend to be afraid when we perceive some harm or threat to ourselves (or others). Some fears are legitimate, but others do more harm than good. Take a good look at your fears and decide whether you think they're helpful or harmful. [4] X Research source [5] X Research source For example, if we have long wanted to take someone to court for something awful that happened to us as a child, that’s a great reason to find your bravery. But to suddenly decide to do that three months into your first pregnancy, when you need to be calm and healthy, that might self-sabotage. 6. Ask good questions. We are afraid of things that threaten our survival, and our reaction is governed by an adrenaline response (which usually means that we are driven to ‘fight’ or ‘flight’). The physical effects of adrenaline include cold, clammy skin, as the blood is withdrawn to the vital organs to enable you to run away fast, the sensation of ‘butterflies’ in the stomach, shivering or trembling, and even chattering teeth. Even if what your gut tells you doesn’t feel 100% logical, tuning into your intuition can help you make brave decisions and ultimately take you where you need to go. 6. Go with the Flow

You now have a sense of the difference between courage and bravery, and you're equipped with two basic ideas you can use to start being braver today. You exercise social courage when you put yourself out there with a new person, letting them see you, and knowing you risk rejection. One of the most important things you can do to combat fear and be braver in your life is to pay attention to what is going on for you right now. Courage doesn’t mean donning a superhero cape or bungee jumping off a bridge. It also doesn’t mean that you’re never afraid of anything. To prepare yourself to do a brave thing without feeling like you're leaping off a cliff or flying entirely by the seat of your pants, try making a plan so you can think through and prepare for every small step. You can analyze every potential scenario and come up with responses for each possibility. Another way to plan is by creating SMART goals for each aspiration you want to set out to do. This will help you set a timeline to achieve your goals so you don't let too much time pass without taking action.You’re going to implement this in other contexts and environments, be it after an approach, on a date, at a party, and more. Simply changing your response and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is a big act of courage. It doesn’t mean that you have to feel comfortable or actually want to go, but at least you tried, and that’s what will lead you to immense personal growth. 3. Set Intentions

By making some key changes to your mindset and trading out old beliefs, you can learn how to be brave and live a live full of purpose and growth. What Does It Mean to Have Courage?
