"Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom." --Marilyn Ferguson
How One Artist Is Transforming Fear
"Julie Elman, like many artists, struggles with fear of the blank page. The creative process demands risk-taking, resilience, and messiness. An associate professor of visual communication at Ohio University, Elman understood the expectation to practice what she preached. To move beyond her fear and to explore what she was teaching her students, she conceived the Fear Project. People submit their fears to the project's website, and Elman visually interprets them, bringing them to life. Perhaps the most interesting part, aside from the striking visuals, is the resulting effect. The venture brings different fears together on one interface, normalizing and destigmatizing fear as a bad part of everyday life."
BE THE CHANGE
Today, realize that many of your fears are held by others as well. Observe your fear without letting the presence of that fear cause concern. You are not alone.
