Fearless

Move Past Your Fears

Did you know that fear and anxiety are actually life strategies that we are taught? This is good news because that means we can replace these strategies.

When facing crises or potential crises, our first response is usually fear and/or anxiety. And yet, it is precisely this fear which paralyzes us, causes overreactions, and makes us least equipped to handle whatever crisis we are endeavoring to overcome.

Fearless is a crash course on fear and how to dismantle it. You will acquire the tools and techniques to break each fear down and construct new strategies free from fear, taking the threat out of any life challenge. Identify and change the beliefs that fuel your fears, and you banish the fears and phobias they produce.

In Fearless, you will learn to:

Stop obsessing over worst case scenarios

Focus on what you do want instead of rehashing what you don't

Uncover the central fear at the core of all of your other fears

Stop asking yourself fear-generating questions and start asking fearlessness-generating ones

Replace fear as a life management strategy with tools and strategies for living a FearLESS life

Before I came to Fearless, I was so fearful and having panic attacks. I was so depressed; it was hard to get out of bed. This program has completely changed my life.
- Teresa Knutson, Son-Rise Mom, Minnesota
When I came here to attend Fearless, I was in a really challenging place; fear impacted almost every area of my life; relationships, work, etc. I felt so trapped and paralyzed by fear that there was no way out. I learned so many life changing steps this week that now I am able to go home and address these challenges from a place of comfort and trust in myself. I have control in my life!
- Wendy Mean, Embalmer, United Kingdom
The Fearless Program has truly helped me rediscover the “real me” that has been hiding behind fear for so, so long.  I had lost the joy of life for myself and those around me because I believed I was not good enough and did not love or even like myself.  The fear of not being liked or accepted clouded essentially everything I did.  Fearless enabled me to see myself as I truly am-loving and lovable-and to shed the armor of fear that I thought was protecting me, but was really weighing me down and shutting me off from the world.
- Scott Robinson, IT Consultant, North Carolina
I just spent an exciting, impactful, learning-filled week with a wonderful group of fearless fellow self-explorers.  I know now at a deep level that loving myself and letting go of fear and the perception that I am in control allows me the comfort that will take me everywhere I want to go!
- Stuart Reid, Sales Rep, Ohio
After my 17 year old son passed away suddenly, I didn’t believe I had the strength and courage to go on.  The Fearless Program made me aware that I am fully equipped to take care of myself and that I can move forward and celebrate my son’s wonderful life.
- Rick Dempsey, Marketing Consultant, Maine
Fearless has been a wonderful journey for me.  I can see the fear in my daily life disappearing before my eyes.  I’m not holding back, I’m more confident and I’m welcoming what the future holds for me instead of being scared of it.
- Krysten Robinette, Bartender, Arizona
I came to Fearless hating a certain aspect of my job--fearing that I’m inadequate to perform it.  I now believe that I can do my best, be open to constructive criticism and improve my performance-all from a comfortable attitude.  I developed an action plan to move my career in the direction I desire and I will do it-easily and comfortably.
- Patricia “Trish” Harding, ABA Practitioner, Florida
Before coming to Fearless I was a paralyzed person; couldn’t make a decision to save my life, afraid I would make the wrong one – so I didn’t make one at all. I was afraid that I couldn’t take care of myself and that life would pass me by and I would miss my chance and purpose. I am now unstuck, have made a decision, have let go of judgments, found my purpose in life and feel so free and excited that I am moving forward.
- Gail Ferver, Homemaker, Pennsylvania
After 51 years of fear, I was able to let my guard down and show my emotions without fearing what others thought. There is now much more clarity in understanding why I was so full of fear. There is also clarity in understanding how to release my fears to experience happiness.
- Greg Hundersmarck, Commercial Real Estate Sales, Minnesota
"I had suffered bouts of depression from a young age. Burying myself into my studies, athletics, and other activities was how I learned to cope. As an adult the depression worsened. It didn't take much of a trigger to send me into a spiral. The feeling was beyond 'not good enough,' it was debilitating.

I was first prescribed anti-depression medications in the '90's. Some would work for awhile, though I always found myself back at square one. Then friends suggested The Option Institute. I attended 'The Happiness Option Weekend'. Loved it and wanted more! The next stop was 'Fearless’ later that year..

I came to 'Fearless' feeling afraid/scared & yet hopeful. That week I explored 3 major issues, number one being chronic depression. I pushed myself & Clyde led the way! By the time the Thursday afternoon session started, Clyde asked, "Marcia, are you depressed?" My response: "What's that?! As of this past January, thanks to choice, dialogues, as well as books & CDs by Bears, I'm happy to report I'm medication free! Much thanks and credit goes to The Option Institute & the unconditionally, loving Staff. Had I not been led to Sheffield, odds are nothing would have changed.

Miracles happen on South Under Mountain Road. Give yourself a gift~ experience Life & the World in a new, authentic way. "
- Marcia Ryder-O'Donnell, Customer Service Professional, New York
