The Root of Fear Compass
Where your hesitation points
This sheet is for looking at what lies behind the thing you're hesitating over right now.
It separates, in turn, the hesitation, the fear behind it, and what that fear is trying to protect.
The space is left wide so no answer feels rushed, and it's fine to write only as much as comes to you.
How it works
- Read the question at the top, and think of what you've been hesitating over most lately.
- In the boxes below, write what you're hesitating over, the fear behind it, and what that fear is trying to protect.
- Read what you've written out loud, just once.
- Leave a small note of what you'd try tomorrow if the fear weren't there.
When · with whom
This is an activity to do on your own, in a quiet spot. Bring it out right before you make a choice, and your mind will settle.
The Root of Fear Compass
- What I hesitate over most right now — one step ahead of me
- What hides behind it — if I gave it a name
- What my fear is guarding — deeper inside
- Write down one small thing you'd try tomorrow if you weren't afraid.
