#474: The Enablers (Friday, January 23)

en·a·bler
iˈnāblər,e-/
noun
  1. a person or thing that makes something possible.


For some reason, an enabler is always seen as a negative person who supports bad behavior. But an enabler can also be positive. Everyone is put into our lives for a reason. 
  1. Look at your list of fears and prioritize them.  
  2. Now think about the people in your life and put them into two categories:
    1. The people who help to promote/prolong the fear (Negative Enablers)
    2. The people who can help you get over your fear (Positive Enablers)
  3. For the Negative Enablers, let them know that the buck stops here. Be specific and tell them that you don't want to hear their negativity anymore regarding your fear.
  4. For the Positive Enablers, ask for help. 
Fears, once confronted, aren't so bad.
