Stress Busters for Eco-Innovators
Facing the Hive: How to Go from Victim to Victor
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.” Just recently, I was stung by at least 9 wasps and my painful allergic reaction lingered for days. For a short time afterwards, I let myself be a victim. I was reluctant to go outside, fearing that a hive could be hidden anywhere I walked. When I felt surer of myself, I cautiously approached where I thought the hive was. The information I gained then allowed me to choose—to either avoid it or to deal with it directly. I chose to be a victor.
Fear presents us with choices: it can hinder us, guide us, or motivate us to a new course of action. Succumbing to fear can lead to procrastination, indecision, and even burnout.
However, fear can also be a tool for personal growth and achievement. Your mindset is the game changer: if you believe you can or believe you can't, you're right. True success isn't about eradicating fear but persevering despite it. I now walk my route freely. I am just more aware of where I plant my feet!
