  This month, we’re embracing the courage it takes to let go of our fears. Halloween gives us a chance to face things that might normally scare us, but sometimes fear shows up as self-doubt, worry, or the fear of being ourselves. Let’s take a mindful moment to notice the fears we carry and gently consider what we’re ready to release.   Letting go of fear doesn’t mean we’ll never feel afraid. It means choosing not to let fear hold us back from being authentic, confident, and courageous. Reflect on what’s possible when you give yourself permission to be brave. What fear are you ready to let go of? What strength are you ready to embrace?   Write down your mindfulness moment, and we’ll display it in front of the Office of Campus Engagement and Student Life in GMH 135.   Mindfulness Prompts: “Courage for me looks like…” “I’m letting go of…” “A fear I’m releasing…” “I feel confident when…” “A strength I’m finally owning is…”
