I find Robin Hobb’s words both direct and empowering: “Stop your whining. If you are frightened, be silent. Whining is for prey. It attracts predators. And you are not prey.” This quote reminds me that fear is not the problem; it’s how I respond to it that matters. When I complain or give in to panic, I undermine my own strength. But if I pause, acknowledge the fear, and choose a steady path forward, I reclaim my power.

Right now, focusing on the present means noticing those first signs of worry—a flutter in my stomach or a flood of “what if” thoughts—and refusing to let them turn into helplessness. By holding a calm silence and directing my energy toward practical solutions, I realize I’m far from prey. Fear doesn’t define who I am; it simply calls me to rise above my doubts and step forward with determination.

A habit that helps me stay anchored is the “30-Second Grounding.” Whenever I feel stress creeping in, I pause and give myself half a minute to breathe deeply. I inhale through my nose, hold for a moment, and exhale fully, noticing the cool air fill my lungs and the warm air leave my body. This quick reset helps me regain clarity, even in the middle of a busy day.
