Integrity: Doing the right thing when no one is watching. With past 2 years of life classes(7 Habits and Love Class), Integrity is something intriguing. The other 2 seemed clearer from their names, I could guess about them a bit before the class but Integrity is surely different. In these two days we started with judgement and perception which led to fear eventually. Fear is something we all live with but before these 2 days I have never really dwelled on it. We learned about the 3 different levels of fear. We listed our own fears and then categorized them in to the 3 levels. We shared what we fear the most and what role fear has played in our lives. We ended with a mission statement where we listed our fears and how we will work upon it personally and professionally.

I entered the class with a perception that this is going to be super heavy and boring! In no time I changed my mind and got engrossed in the session. I loved all the short movies and how well it was connected to the topic – Fear. I realized how a few of my fears were just surface-level fear and it got me thinking about how to overcome/fight the fear. I am looking forward to moving from “I will handle it” to “I handled it”

“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.’
–Marie Curie

The quote pretty much sums up everything that was covered in the first two sessions of life class. Fear is just a state of mind arising from the various paradigms that have been injected into an individual due to familial or societal pressures. These sessions have opened a new world for me and now I look at fear from a different point of view. There are certain things that definitely needs to be taken care of and certain fears to be put aside. Fear arises from failure and failure is nothing but our expectations. It is we ourselves who define what is failure and once we learn to overcome it the world becomes a much better place for us to live.

Framing a mission statement for myself is the first step for me to overcome my fears and become a much better person. I intend to work on it seriously as I know this will help me to be the person I have aimed to be.

Integrity sessions began with understanding fear, types of people and different reactions or actions people choose to deal in life. The real picture is to Face the fear and to empower yourself to deal with legitimate pain and focus energy and efforts to achieve peace and overcome pain. Also, to consider taking action for pains/fears to not be prolonged and unattended as otherwise may lead to a consequence, rather choose to be a victor and deal with it head on that ensures you grow and evolve.

These two days helped us lot to explore and discuss the fears we have. How we try to understand the type of fear we have. It helped us to explore the major formula to overcome these fear is to face it and believe that i can do it.

Major of the fears that a person would have is because of the perception and the lack of confidence one is having. One of the key is to gain that confidence.

Another very important aspect is when we generalize the fear. One incident  or something traumatic (that can be very subjective) is generalized to all upcoming similar incidents which make the fear to come and makes overcoming that more difficult.

One of the major type of fear which was focused was fear of failure. Talking about this, this is insightful to understand that failure or the thing that we are fearful is subjective and is haunting us like something which actually dont exist.

Ohh what a two day ride chilling with fear..looking for it inside our heart and mind, categorizing it three( the suface level, the inside story, and i can’t handle it) baskets of fear, and gently facing it with power and mission statements.
Take away- I m powerful and i love it.

See you in next class amigos..:D

In Theta class we identified the difference in Judgements and perception and the types of fear and how to overcome them, I CAN HANDLE IT! Was good motivation. Responsibilities, pain, live on were catered and gave a better clarity in our understanding.

Let’s us overcome our fears

This life class has helped me to understand, that, yes, I do fear, and that is what is stopping me from bridging the gap between the relationships. So, yes, I need to overcome that fear. I need to introspect. I need not judge people, but I need to work on overcoming my assumptions and sort them out. Work towards problems and make the best out of the worst situation. Getting to the root cause of fear is very important. Is it in my control? Does it need an action? Can I tell myself “I can handle it?”.

Of course, I can “handle it”, since I am responsible for my happiness, for my success, for my failure as well.

It’s good to know the different kinds of fears that exist in you and then how to overcome them. Work with Integrity and succeed with integrity. True to yourself. Accept the fear and then try to overcome it by understanding a proper situation. It’s good to know the different kind of experiences people go through it and how they overcome those fears and end up winning. The simple and the best way to overcome any fear is to face it.

Coming to the end of the first week, I would like to thank both the facilitators for conducting it fabulously. It helped me to see things from varied perspectives, learned levels of fear, how to overcome them, and building an attitude of I can handle it – while dealing with challenges and fear. All in all, the first week was wonderful.
