• What physical fear reactions did you experience?
• Did you realize that these physical fear reactions were normal?
• Did you stay and deal with the situation or run from it?

HOMEWORK (OFFICIAL at 3:10 P.M. Each Day)

• Activity #29--2/21/2014--Turn Fear Into Fuel
• Watch the Ted Talk Turning Fear Into Fuel
• Think of something that gives you fear and anxiety.  Choose a topic that you may encounter in your every day life (asking someone out to prom, taking a test, performing a public speech).  Then write a journal entry that addresses  the three questions posed in "Turning Fear Into Fuel."  Try to write about these as vividly and realistically as possible.  No Doomsday scenarios!
• What if I fail, and how will I recover?
• What if I do nothing?
• What if I succeed?
• If you would like to join us on Saturday for the Walk for Diabetes at the Mall of America, please meet at 8:15 a.m.  We will be meeting in the area near the American Girl store, the Sponge Bob statue, and the log chute ride.
