Dread Vs. Fear

In her latest book, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of the Human Experience, five-time #1 New York Times best-selling author Brene Brown writes:

 

“For anxiety and dread, the threat is in the future. For fear, the threat is now - in the present moment.”

 

Brene Brown

 

Consider these questions:

 

• What do you notice dreading about the future:
  • something that might happen?
  • something that you might feel?
  • a job?
  • a financial challenge?
  • a relationship complication?

 

• When do you notice getting triggered by fear in the present:
  • in certain situations or locations?
  • with certain people?
  • at work?
  • at home?

When it comes to podcasting, the best way to “tip the bartender” is by heading over to Apple Podcasts and leaving a 5-star review. This helps me imbibe other listeners with the secret sauce of emotional intelligence. And, make sure to “order another round”  by hitting SUBSCRIBE.
