Welcome to Faceyourfears.ca, the website of Mona Benjamintz, a courage cultivator based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Face Your Fears is about facing your fears, such as fear of change, fear of failure and fear of rejection, that hold you back from improving your life. Here’s what it’s about:

IT’S ABOUT YOU

You get up in the morning, and that vim and vigour that you once may have had as a child has been long lost. You wish your alarm clock never went off, because you didn’t sleep well, thanks to

tossing and turning while feeling anxious about making changes in your career, relationships or your life in general. You talk down to yourself, even though you’d never talk that way

to a friend. You prefer the certainty of your status quo, even if you are unhappy now, because it feels more comfortable than the uncertainty of making a leap to new opportunities.

If we want to live happier, more authentic lives, we need to face our fears.

It’s About Your Fear

Our minds are designed to make us afraid when we feel threatened, but for most of us, this innate reaction gets overblown when applied to our daily lives. Unless we work or live amongst danger, chances are that the situations we fear really aren’t life threatening. They do, however, threaten the quality of our lives.

Our fear tells us that something significant is at stake, and it provides us with a growth opportunity that can add to our wisdom and resiliency. Instead of asking, ‘What’s the worst that can happen?’, let’s ask, ‘What’s the best that could happen?’, and watch our journeys towards our happier selves unfold.

    Nico F.

  • This pandemic offered me a challenge – how do I make my lay off from a job I loved, into a gift? After considering my values and yearnings, I dug deep and decided to write a novel. Five months later, the first draft is done, and now I am editing. Facing your fears is worth it – thank you Mona Benjamintz for creating this program and blog. You are a gift!

  • I feel Mona has an effective and engaging speech delivery style: she is clear and avoids jargon; her voice and articulation is natural and smooth; the pace is perfect; and the speech is always well researched and organized. And she is also able to interject humour into her speeches where appropriate!
