When Fear Keeps You Stuck, Even When You Know Better
Fear isn't always loud. Sometimes it's just there - in the background, quietly dictating your choices.
It shows up as hesitation, self-doubt, or that subtle tension in your chest when you're about to do something bold. It convinces you to stay quiet when you want to speak up. It urges you to wait when your heart says leap.
Most people don't even realize how much fear is running the show - until they start seeing the patterns:
- Saying no to opportunities because "the timing's not right"
- Overthinking every step instead of moving forward
- Avoiding visibility, vulnerability, or anything that feels too risky
You're not alone.
Over 77% of people report that fear or anxiety interferes with their daily lives. And for many, that fear isn't about physical danger - it's about judgment, failure, rejection, or simply not being "enough."
Picture Larissa, a gifted artist whose work glows with energy and meaning. She's poured her heart into her art, but each time she's invited to show it...fear stops her. What if no one likes it? What if they do and then expect more? Her dream stays just out of reach - not because she lacks talent, but because fear quietly convinces her not to try.
This isn't only Larissa's story - it mirrors what so many gifted, capable people quietly go through. They're not lacking in potential. They're carrying patterns of fear they never asked for, but that keep showing up anyway.
But those patterns can be released - gently, quickly, and for good. There's a way to move forward without fear making the choices for you.
You're Not Alone in This - And You Don't Have to Stay Stuck
I'm Anita Colussi-Zanon, and for over a decade I've been helping people move through fear and emotional blocks - using a gentle, subconscious method called Inner Influencing, paired with intuitive guidance from the Angels.
But before I became a coach, I was someone who wrestled with fear every single day.
Fear had a way of talking me out of my own dreams. I tried everything - mindset work, energy healing, spiritual practices. Some of it helped...but nothing cleared the fear at its root.
Until I found Inner Influencing.
This method didn't just help me manage fear - it helped me release it from the inside out. It gave me access to the part of myself that was stuck in old stories...and a way to release those stories for good.
The changes were undeniable - and immediate. That's why I've devoted my life to teaching others how to do the same.
Because fear doesn't have to shape your future. You are more powerful - and more free - than you may realize right now.
And that shift begins the moment you stop trying to fight fear...and start clearing what's behind it.
How Fear Quietly Shapes Your Life - Until You Decide to Change It
Most people think of fear as a single emotion. But it's more like a system - wired into your mind, body, and past experiences.
It starts with a trigger: a challenge, a risk, a moment of uncertainty. Your brain reacts as if danger is coming - even if that danger is only imagined. And your body follows suit: racing heart, tight chest, shallow breath, mental fog.
Originally, this response was designed to protect you. But in today's world, it rarely keeps you safe - it just keeps you stuck.
Fear affects more than just your mood. It has ripple effects across your life:
- It holds you back from taking action, even when you want to move forward
- It creates pressure to play small, stay safe, and avoid judgment
- It slowly drains your health, energy, and clarity over time
- And perhaps worst of all - it convinces you that it's just "how you are"
But fear isn't a personality trait. It's a pattern - and patterns can be changed.
And the deeper you understand what fear really is...the more power you have to change how it shows up in your life.
The Ways Fear Shows Up (Even If You've Learned to Hide It)
Fear doesn't always look like panic. Sometimes, it shows up as overthinking. Or procrastination. Or staying quiet when you really want to speak.
It's not just about being scared - it's about how fear slowly convinces you to shrink your life.
Here's how it often plays out:
🔁 You freeze at big decisions
You go back and forth, trying to find the "perfect" answer. But deep down, fear is running the show - afraid you'll mess it up, regret it, or be judged.
😵 Your body holds the tension
Maybe you sleep lightly or wake up with your jaw clenched. Maybe your stomach feels tight before meetings or conversations. Fear doesn't stay in your head - it gets stored in your body too.
💔 You keep your guard up - even with people you love
You want deeper connection...but it's hard to let anyone all the way in. Fear of being hurt (again) can keep you distant, even when what you crave is closeness.
📉 You hold back professionally
You know you're capable - but fear talks you out of applying, presenting, or asking for more. You stay where it feels "safe"...even when you know you're meant for more.
🌑 Joy and spontaneity fade
Trying new things feels risky. Taking a leap feels dangerous. So you play it safe - but life starts to feel smaller, more predictable, and less alive.
These patterns are more than just frustrating. They steal time. Energy. Opportunity. But the moment you name them, you take back your power to shift them.
You don't have to keep living in reaction to fear.
Why Most Fear-Relief Methods Only Go So Far
If you've tried to work through your fear before, you've probably heard advice like:
"Just think positive."
"Face your fear head-on."
"Breathe through it."
"Tap it away."
Sometimes these help a little. Sometimes they help for a while. But if fear keeps coming back - or keeps winning - it's not because you failed. It's because most tools only reach the surface.
Let's look at a few of the common options:
🧠 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you become aware of your thoughts and reframe them. That's useful - but if the fear lives deeper in your subconscious, reframing alone can feel like painting over cracks in the foundation.
🧍♀️ Exposure Therapy
Facing your fear in small doses sounds logical. But for many, it's exhausting - and it doesn't always dissolve the deeper emotional charge.
🧘 Mindfulness & Meditation
These help you stay present, observe your reactions, and calm your nervous system. But when fear is rooted in old wounds or unconscious beliefs, mindfulness can bring awareness - without the release.
🌿 Herbs, EFT, or Reiki
Natural tools and energy work can soothe your system. But when fear is part of a larger pattern, calming it doesn't always stop it from coming back.
Here's the missing piece:
Most methods ask your conscious mind to do the heavy lifting. But fear often comes from below the surface.
And that's exactly where Inner Influencing works - with the part of you that's been silently holding the fear in place.
The Method That Helps You Clear Fear Where It Actually Lives
Here's what makes fear so hard to shake: It doesn't just live in your thoughts. It's wired into your nervous system...stored in your emotional memory...and rooted in beliefs you didn't choose - but learned somewhere along the way.
That's why willpower alone can't shift it. But Inner Influencing can.
This method gives you a way to gently connect with your subconscious - where those old patterns live - and guide it to release what's no longer needed.
You stay fully awake, fully present, and fully in control. No altered states. No rehashing painful memories. Just a quiet process that clears the emotional charge and installs something better.
Here's how it works in practice:
🔍 You notice where fear is showing up
Whether it's hesitation, overthinking, avoidance, or body tension.
💬 You apply the technique to address the emotional pattern behind it
Using simple language and internal direction, you begin working with your subconscious directly.
🕊️ You feel the shift - often immediately
The fear eases. Your body relaxes. The thought that once triggered panic now feels neutral.
And because this work happens at the root, the change tends to last.
Why Inner Influencing Stands Out
✅ Fast results - even in a single session
✅ Easy to learn and use anytime, anywhere
✅ No tapping, no scripts, no awkwardness
✅ Works on the fear and the pattern behind it
✅ You're not managing fear - you're dissolving it
Imagine being able to shift fear in the moment it shows up - without hiding, avoiding, or powering through. That's the kind of emotional freedom Inner Influencing creates.
What the Angels Say about Fear
What Do the Angels Say About Fear?
The Angels say that fear is something you have too much respect for.
The physical qualities of fear, the way it makes you feel in your body, is what you are reacting to.
If fear makes you shake and have to hold yourself. If fear completely destabilizes you so you can't do anything, then it has an enormous grip on your body and your mind.
When you are fearful, do you have specific reactions? Can you notice what these are?
It is helpful for you to look at your physical response to fear and also to look at what triggers you to be afraid.
Awareness of the triggers for fear, and awareness of your own particular reactions to it will make you stronger.
You can be strong in the face of fear. You can be brave. You can train yourself to face fear with stoicism.
But what if there could be an end to fear? What if you could get off the fear nightmare ride that you step onto and can't seem to leave?
Fear has an endpoint. Sometimes the endpoint is the end of the threat. But sometimes you experience fear so badly that all of a sudden it goes away. It's as if fear was a train station that you did not stop at and passed a little while ago.
Will you be able to master fear? Will you be able to not have it matter in your life?
Doing the inner work will make you stronger. Doing Inner Influencing will give you a much higher tolerance for things that perhaps frighten you now.
Take a leap of faith and see how you can leave fear behind.
As we reflect on the Angels' empowering message about fear, we're reminded that overcoming this emotion is not only possible but essential for our growth. Their encouragement to do inner work and explore techniques like Inner Influencing aligns perfectly with the transformative journey we've been discussing.
Now, let's explore how you can take these celestial insights and put them into action, beginning your path towards a life where fear no longer holds you back, but instead propels you forward into your full potential.
What Life Feels Like When Fear Isn't in Control Anymore
Imagine waking up without that weight in your chest. You're not bracing for the next wave of anxiety. You're not second-guessing everything before the day even begins.
Instead, you feel clear. Present. And even a little excited about what's ahead.
That's the kind of shift Inner Influencing creates - not by forcing confidence, but by releasing the patterns that were blocking it all along.
You start to notice changes like:
🌿 Making decisions faster - without obsessing over what could go wrong
💬 Speaking more freely - because fear of judgment no longer runs the show
🚪 Saying yes to new things - and not needing every detail nailed down first
💡 Feeling creative again - inspired, curious, and capable
❤️ Being more present in your relationships - open instead of guarded
This isn't some far-off dream. It's what naturally begins to unfold when fear stops running the show beneath the surface.
And it all begins with a simple first step - one that's waiting for you now.
Take the First Step Toward a Life Where Fear Doesn't Lead
You've read this far for a reason. Something inside you knows it's time to shift.
