Fear and anxiety are your friends and when there's a conscious or subconscious safety concern they won't budge if you aren't safe. Physical safety is usually attended to, but internal, emotional, core safety is often treated downright recklessly. No wonder automatic internal safety mechanisms step in! Whether fear surfaces as performance anxiety, or test, sports, business, or appearance anxiety, that fear always indicates a conscious or subconscious core safety concern. But instead of addressing the internal safety concern, fear is beat down. When that doesn't work, self is beat down. In reality the core must be built up. It's almost impossible to override automatic internal safety mechanisms; but it's relatively easy to build core strength. This book is a companion workbook to the book Boost Core Power and Bust Anxiety. That book provides physiological, neurological, psychological, and interpersonal knowledge. This workbook is designed to apply that knowledge to your unique VIP circumstances to build core strength. Building this core strength through applied knowledge is a skill. This workbook enhances the benefits of that book and helps in developing skill. When the core is strong, fear steps down. Anxiety melts. Ability soars. The result is genuine confidence. Confidence dissipates fear like light dissipates darkness. Everything changes.
