Fear & Curiosity

August 07, 20251 min read

Fear is a natural response.

We feel it biologically, psychologically, existentially, and spiritually.

It comes from traumas, conditioning, socially... it could be real or imaginary, perceived or anticipated.

It could be a signal for healing, truth, and integration... and come in moments of transition, newness, or awakening.

It could also protect you from things like... death. So... it's pretty important.

It also keeps you from being curious. It's as if fear smears out the beautiful picture with dark black charcoal.

Curiosity comes from within. A drive to explore, learn, understand, and experience.

A pursuit towards the great mystery.

It solves problems. Gives room for growth. It seeks and investigates.

Both curiosity and fear come from places in our brain.

More often than not, we make a choice on which one we let lead. Yet, unless it is deeply rooted fear from trauma we need to work with, we have some autonomy here.

Here's the work

  • Identify what you fear or when you notice it shows up. Write it down.

  • With that fear, write down what things you're still curious about if you were to step towards it

  • Let curiosity drive you where appropriate

Let curiosity help you find ways to take action towards solutions that rid you of the fear you have that keeps you from where you want to be going in life.

Stay curious and nothing is wasted, even fear becomes a teacher.

See ya out there,

Coach D.

Daniel Weaver

Born in Texas, Daniel began his Strength & Conditioning journey in high school where he found more joy in the actual training for sport than the sport itself. While pursuing a Sport & Exercise Science in college, he was blessed to become an intern at a local Strength & Conditioning gym that was also a CrossFit gym. It was there under the guidance of his first Mentor he began his coaching journey. This eventually led to taking over ownership of CrossFit Bothell in Bothell, WA in Jan of 2020. After 4 years of learning and growth, he is excited to start a brand new gym community in Bellingham, WA. Daniel believes in what a gym can do for humans. How it can become a place to receive coaching and feedback, to be vulnerable and struggle with others. He believes it's a place to learn, grow, and adapt in many more ways than simply improving ones body. He believes in a holistic approach to fitness.
