This is a great read filled with one-liners that just kept me wanting to read more. I really appreciate the practical questions that I can ask myself when I need to challenge a fear rooted in some type of fundamental belief that I am carrying. I can’t wait to read more of your work.

This is great work, Shartaya.

Your essay offers a powerful lens on how fear and limiting beliefs trap us in painful loops. The reminder that awareness is the first step to healing is both grounding and liberating.

One addition I would offer: self-compassion practices, like journaling or gentle affirmations, can help soften the inner critic and support belief transformation. Small, kind actions can gradually rewire the mind and affirm our innate worth and freedom.
