There was no plan, cushion, safety net. Frankly, I\u2019d been terrified to make a play in life. It was simple fear that held me back. Fear of change, fear of the unknown, fear of failure. And safety seems so cozy.<\/p>\n<p>That first conscious decision to be fearless was, without a doubt, the best of my life. I have since learnt fearlessness as a practice. I run a small business, a risky enterprise in and of itself and in every business and personal decision I make, I \u2018check in\u2019 to see if fear is holding me back.<\/p>\n<p>For example, \u00a0I used to keep quiet when I saw and heard things I disagreed with, thinking it best to keep everyone as a friend. My fearlessness practice has caused me to speak out about cruelty and things which I regard as immoral.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve found that, like a muscle, the more I practice fearlessness, the stronger, more resilient and happier I become. Yes, I have lost friends, but I know that my friends are those who like the authentic version of me.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a conscious decision. Like your decision to get on your mat. You just do it because it\u2019s a discipline, a practice, and this life is a one time chance and we want to make every moment matter.<\/p>\n<p>That fearlessness practice could be translated into learning inversions (try our <a href=\"http:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/challenge-handstand\" target=\"_blank\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/challenge-handstand\">Handstand Challenge<\/a>), or it could be a fearlessness to embrace yourself (try our <a href=\"http:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/challenge-embrace-your-essence\" target=\"_blank\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/challenge-embrace-your-essence\">Embrace Your Essence Challenge<\/a>). Yoga teaches a loving, but stronger relationship with self and others and teaches a compassionate fearlessness to take off the mat and into life.<\/p>\n<p>May you be fearless this May!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_17\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Unknown-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-17\" src=\"http:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Unknown-1-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"Kat Farrants by Karen Yeomans\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Unknown-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Unknown-1.jpeg 178w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kat Farrants by Karen Yeomans<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This post was written by Movement For Modern Life&#8217;s fabulous founder, Kat Farrants<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb_wrap\"><a class=\"fb_link\" onclick=\"fbs_click('https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/may-you-be-fearless','');return false;\" href=\"#\">Send to Facebook<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What would you do if you had nothing to fear?
