Blissful  feels plenty of fear and anxiety before a thru-hike, but she manages her fears by asking, “If the worst happens, then what?” 

The answers to those questions helps us think more rationally rather than being paralyzed by anxiety, and thus live a more zesty and adventurous life.

  1. All of us feel fear at least some of the time that can hold us back from action.
  2. The trick is not to tame fear but to hear it out and hen get on with things anyway.
  3. We do this by asking far questions: "what if?" followed by "then what?" 
  4. It helps us be less emotional and more rational. 

MUSIC: Introduccion y Allegro by Carlos Guastavino as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
