THE KEY TO FEARING LESS

COME back to your sense of purpose. What matters to you most might be being a great mum, or your passion for your hobby. Remember what you care about. Think about why it’s so compelling and focus your attention on that.

NEVER lose sight of your dreams and desires. Don’t allow the challenge you’re up against to diminish your ambition. There’s a massive antidote to fear in holding on to what you want your life to look like.

WORK out who you are truly connected to. Who can you reach out to when you’re exposed? Who has your back? Who do you allow yourself to be vulnerable with? Knowing this diminishes the potential of fear to take the ground away from under our feet.

LAUGH loud and laugh often — humour defuses fear. It releases tension in our bodies and it also changes the tone.

‘That’s why it’s super-valuable for us now,’ says Pippa. ‘It’s not about denying the seriousness of the threat of the virus — it’s about giving us all a much-needed breather.’
