In this 5‑minute guided self‑love practice, Vivek George leads viewers through a structured exercise aimed at confronting a small personal fear. He begins by introducing the session’s purpose—using fear‑facing as a form of self‑love—and shares a motivating Eleanor Roosevelt quote about gaining strength, courage, and confidence by looking fear in the face. After a brief personal check‑in, he guides participants through a deep‑breathing reset, then starts a visible timer for focused work. Vivek models the process by outlining his own pending paperwork fear, drafting a plan, and writing an email to address it, encouraging viewers to either act on their fear or journal/planning it. Near the end, he provides a check‑out reflection, noting a modest improvement in his mood and reinforcing that self‑love is a daily, cumulative practice. He closes with encouragement, a reminder to pat oneself on the back, and a pointer to another self‑love video.

Hey guys, welcome back to another day in our self-love practice. My name is Vivek George if you don't know me. Uh, happy to have you back if you have come to this practice before. And today's practice is about addressing our fears head-on. It was inspired by some work I was doing yesterday. I had a lot of things going on in my head. I was feeling anxious and worried. And then I took a little time to, to write down the stuff that I needed to do, some of the things I was anxious about, and I slowly started feeling better. I started feeling a smile coming to my face and my energy was up. I had a great night's sleep in the end and I'm coming here energized. And I realized by taking a little time to address my fears, to work through some of them, that actually I was creating space for this natural self, my natural peace and joy and happiness to come up. And this was a form of self-love. So I'm excited to share this practice with all of you. And, and I, there's a great quote that I, I found from Eleanor Roosevelt that kind of addresses this that I thought was perfect for today's practice. So we're going to take 5 minutes to do this practice, uh, and then we'll wrap up the video. So the quote is from Eleanor Roosevelt, is, you gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. 'You must do the thing you think you cannot do,' from Eleanor Roosevelt. So like I said, courage, strength, confidence— these are all words related to self-worth, self-belief, self-love. So we're going to take a small fear, not one of these big huge fears. I mean, if you really want to and want to do it outside of this video, go by all means, you know. You want— you have a fear of heights and you want to, you know, do skydiving today, go for it. I totally would support that. I would love to hear about it as well. But maybe there's a person that you're a little nervous about talking to. Maybe you want to talk to them about something. Maybe there's an item on your to-do list that you've been avoiding because you're worried about what it's going to look like. Maybe you're worried about looking at your bank account. Maybe, uh, you've been wanting to ask for a raise at work and you've been scared about doing that. Whatever your fear is that you think you want to address, let's make some time to do that, either by actually doing it or journaling it. Like, just talking about it. Sometimes just writing about it helps release some of our attention related to it. Or lastly, maybe coming up with a plan. That's what I kind of did yesterday. I had a bunch of things that were making me nervous, and I wrote out a plan how to address each one, and I started working on some of them. And for today, with all of you, there's one that actually still needs my attention, some paperwork stuff that I'm a little bit worried about. So I'm going to write out a plan of how to address it. And if it doesn't go the way I want, some alternative plans and just sort of break it down so that I also have to write an email related to it. So I'm going to also write that email as well with all of you. So that's my, my fear that I need to address. And I'm going to hopefully at the end of it feel more calm and peaceful after I work on it. Cool. We're going to spend 5 minutes like I mentioned, but before we do so, we're going to just do a quick check-in— sorry, check-in— and we'll do a check-out afterwards. So how am I feeling right now? I'm feeling good. I had a good sleep, and like I said, after worked on some of those fears, I think I was feeling better. But to be honest, I'm also being slightly anxious because I'm going— I know I have to face this fear. So I think hopefully after I do it, I'll feel so much better. I think that's what's going to happen. So That's how I'm feeling. How about all of you? I'm going to give you a moment to check in with yourself, how you're feeling. Maybe we'll do a deep breath in together and out. It might help release a little bit of that tension related to this fear. So let's do a deep breath in and out. Okay, great. Okay, awesome. I'm gonna kick off the timer and then we can all get started with working on our, our fear. Good luck. Almost 2 and a half minutes left, guys. Hope it's going well. Minute 40. How you guys doing? A little less than a minute, guys, so let's wrap up soon. Okay, that's it. That's the timer. Oh, great. Hopefully I'll give you guys all a few seconds more to wrap up. Okay, great. And if you need more time, feel free to pause the video. And keep going. And awesome, guys. Nice job. Give yourself a little pat on the back for facing your fears. How are you feeling? Yeah, let's do a quick check out. How are we all feeling? I would say I'm feeling a little, a little bit more chill. I wouldn't say it's a huge difference. I had sort of worked through more of my bigger issues last night. This one was a smaller one, and it doesn't— I need to, yeah, I need to send this message and we'll see what the response is. I'm going to cross my fingers. But yeah, so overall I would say I'm feeling a little bit better, but not a huge difference because of last night's work. Hopefully you guys saw a bigger impact, but either way, self-love is a daily practice. It's a, it's a journey. It's not a destination. As cheesy as that might sound, it— that's sort of what I've seen and what I've learned. So sometimes these small steps add up. They do add up. Okay, awesome, guys. Have a wonderful day. Thanks for joining in again. And if you need another self-love practice, check out the video over here. Have a great day and don't forget to love yourself.
