Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog shares two short posts covering how to stop fear in its tracks and how to answer when creativity callsEpisode 2476: 7 Ways to Stop Fear in its Tracks AND When Creativity Calls, Will You Answer? by Katie PingKatie Ping is a small-town writer, yogi, and mama who values simplicity. She spent decades of her life people-pleasing and drowning in guilt and shame over parts of her that she thought were unworthy. By her late-20s, she found herself passionless and riddled with anxiety - and she knew she needed a change. Instead of creating a multi-layered plan on how to attain more peace, she started small - with a walking meditation practice. Those 15 minutes of strolling in silence down a tree-lined residential street led her to where she is today - facing her fears of imperfection and doing it anyway.The original posts are located here: http://moreofwhatmattersblog.com/7-ways-to-stop-fear-in-its-tracks/ & http://moreofwhatmattersblog.com/when-creativity-calls-will-you-answer/ Visit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com Interested in advertising on the show?
