Will Fear Ever Go Away?  Let's make it happen in 2023!
Well, we really don't want fear to go away.  We want to make sure we are using it wisely!  Here are a few things to do in 2023 to help your fear help you, instead of controlling you.  Get your life back to joy.

First of all, we need our fear to keep us safe, if it is real fear that is.  It is our minds tool to pay attention, look around us, and make sure we are safe.  It is our opportunity to be in the moment and do what needs to be done.  This fear, real fear, we will practice recognizing in 2023.  Keep a journal and write down when you have real fear.  Example would be riding along and having a snake show up in your path.  You have to take immediate action.  Practice noticing this real fear and keep track.  It will be a lot less than you "IMAGINE" it to be.

Secondly, imaginary fear.  We need to turn this around to feelings of joy and happiness!  It is our mind thinking that we are in danger, and probably playing a story, over and over, in our head, of danger!  Also in your journal, write these down.  Recognize them.  You will see repeats.  Example would be you are thinking of going for a ride, you start to have your palms get sweaty and you stop.  You think about what is causing it and it might be that your horse might rear.  That is my go-to.  It is really a fear of falling off and getting hurt.  My mind and body go into panic mode.  Write these down in your journal!  

As you see patterns, rewrite them.  For my example, I would write My horse and I had a lovely ride.  It was warm and rhythmical.  I could feel the relaxation in myself and in my horse.  Really spend some time feeling the feelings.  It won't take long and when your mind starts to go to the imaginary fear, your brain will say, oh, I know what to do, let's go to that good feeling place we have created!  

Now, for my really exciting 2023 news, I am opening up some coaching spots for a few people that would like help, overcoming their fear and turning it into joy.  Reply to this email that you want COACHING AND JOY, and we can have a chat and see if it is a good fit for you and get you on the waiting list!

Hey there! I’m Elise Hittinger—Fear Slayer, Confidence Creator, and your go-to Courage Coach.

 
Once upon a time, I was that fearless kid riding deep into Angeles National Forest without a second thought. Then bam—life threw me a plot twist. A horse flipped on me, pinning me beneath it, and fear crept in like an uninvited guest who wouldn’t leave.

That moment tested everything. But here’s the wild part—I walked away with only bruises and a divine reminder that I wasn’t done yet. Fear may have stolen my joy for a while, but it did not get the final say.

Fast forward to a move to Kentucky, where the trails were calling my name. I had two choices: let fear keep the reins or take them back. Spoiler alert—I took them back. Now, I help other riders (and, honestly, anyone sick of fear running their life) do the same.

I make fear pack its little bags and GTFO. Whether it’s through hypnotherapy, NLP, or a little well-placed humor, I help people trade anxiety for confidence, doubt for courage, and overthinking for action.

So, if you’re ready to kick fear to the curb and rediscover the joy you deserve—I’m here for it. Let’s do this.
