Josh M 2011-07-01T03:35:04Z 2011-07-01T03:35:04Z <p>Fear is the mind killer. I fear nothing and constantly seek to push my personal paradigms right to the edge of the abyss. Most fears are self created and therefore easily dispelled. Paleo is about the truth and a lot of people fear that the most.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/48833/what-is-the-one-paleo-thing-that-you-wish-you-could-do-but-are-too-afraid/48839#48839 Answer by Suz - Paleo Oz for What is the one (paleo) thing that you wish you could do but are too afraid?

I definitely think that this is a Paleo question as I for one am more in-tune with myself since that change. Examples of what I've done since Paleo that I would not have before: I agreed to make 200 desserts for a wedding in August. I entered my food into a contest. Quit the job that I loved instead of sticking it out due to that love and just eating the bad emotions daily. Nobody wants milk crates, food, and soft goods thrown at them or be verbally abused on a daily basis, right? I've never quit anything in my life. Approached someone in my life nervous and scared as hell, expressing my feelings and wants (badly of course), and having them accept what I offered. </p> <p>I'm excited for what's next and I like this question :)</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/48833/what-is-the-one-paleo-thing-that-you-wish-you-could-do-but-are-too-afraid/48920#48920 Answer by Resurgent for What is the one (paleo) thing that you wish you could do but are too afraid? Resurgent 2011-07-01T13:18:10Z 2011-07-01T13:18:10Z <p>Your question's basic premise is that there is a fear, that we are afraid to do something which we would want to do, I digress.</p> <p>..Its not about being afraid but about knowing the tremendous difference between perfection and totality, and remain 'total' and not necessarily perfect.</p> <p>Perfection is a goal somewhere in the future, totality is an experience here, NOW. Totality is not a goal, it is the style of life. </p> <p>If one can get into any act with one's whole heart, one is total. And totality brings wholeness and totality brings health and totality brings sanity.</p> <p>Where is the room for fear?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/48833/what-is-the-one-paleo-thing-that-you-wish-you-could-do-but-are-too-afraid/48923#48923 Answer by Cave Tomboy for What is the one (paleo) thing that you wish you could do but are too afraid?

TomInTexas 2011-07-01T13:42:12Z 2011-07-01T13:42:12Z <p>Quit my job and just focus on school. I dont <em>need</em> the money (my wife makes enough to support the both of us) but I've always worked. When I have down time I feel uncomfortable and on edge. I know it would help me SO MUCH to reduce my work volume to below the 55 hrs/week I work now, but I'm afraid to do it. Too many "What if's" to plan for I guess. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/48833/what-is-the-one-paleo-thing-that-you-wish-you-could-do-but-are-too-afraid/48939#48939 Answer by CaveDad for What is the one (paleo) thing that you wish you could do but are too afraid?
