How To Destroy Your Doubts And Be Brave!
By KellyAnnGegg
July 7th
, 2020
Begin by “Behaving Bravely” and take a chance to read
Anita K’s masterpiece book itself! Recently, I did just that,
and I’m so glad I did! After receiving an email from Trina with
the Trina Kaye Organization, I discovered the book written
by Anita. (This is a book review, and all thoughts are my
own!) “Let’s be brave together,” Anita K.
A quick peek into this story:
Anita had her fair share of struggles growing up, and by
being brave throughout her life, she has managed to
overcome them all. For instance, some issues take longer
than others, and some take time to instill over and over
again. Her book’s primary focus is that if you keep at it, you
will be brave, and you will get where you want to be!
Each chapter of ‘Behaving Bravely’ takes the reader on a bit
of background through Anita’s life to get to know her while
you read. She took several years developing her
fundamental ideas on how to be brave, and she gives
readers a detailed outline of how to accomplish being brave
throughout the chapters.
There are several new keyphrases I gained from this book,
too. One is benevolief (which Anita coined herself), which is
a combo word of benevolent, and belief. The majority of
people find that they are the person behind their doubts and
fears. By changing our thought processes, we can improve
our outlook on what’s holding us back!
The chapters also give a breakdown to help us achieve our
life’s goals! Included are, there are instructions on starting up
a journal (which I REALLY should do, like now!), create a
personal barometer of self-confidence (this is a tough one!),
and design a personal journey map (this was a new one, too,
and equally fierce!)
After I finished this book and determined that I’m not
anywhere near as brave as I should be, I sent a few follow
up questions to Trina to send to Anita, and she answered
me! YAY! A HUGE thank you to Trina for allowing me to
receive and read this phenomenal book, which will be a
helpful tool for the remainder of my life! A GIGANTIC thank
you to Anita for sharing her story, and setting others up for
success!
Here’s our mini-discussion!
Me: How did your family and friends react to your book?
Anita: Very positively! They were very supportive and many
shared there were a few new areas where they learned
more about me.
Me: Do you ever have trouble with your benevoliefs?
Anita: At first, YES. It’s a constant practice to mindshift
our thoughts especially when they are personal and it can
be difficult to be objective yet honest and gentle about
ourselves.
Me: What is your favorite quote? Why?
Anita: “Life is what happens to us while we are making
other plans.”
― Allen Saunders. I love this quote as it is a
mini life lesson filled with wisdom and managing
expectations.
((How TRUE is this?!?!)
Me: Have you noticed an increase in clientele since COVID-
19 came about? I imagine, both from news stories, and
personal experiences of my own, that this pandemic has
strained the majority of the population.
Anita: Yes. Unfortunately, in the areas of managing stress,
relationships, and career changes.
Me: How long, from beginning to end, did it take you to get
the book together and publish?
Anita: Around 3 years.
Me: What’s up next for you? What else are you looking to
accomplish in say, the next five years?
Anita: I am targeting bigger media platforms to share my
message as well as coaching in larger groups in various
areas where we have gaps such as the educational arena
and media as it pertains to many social issues.
Me: Besides your book, ‘Behaving Bravely, what would you
say is your favorite book of all?
Anita: Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman
**I’ll be adding this to my #Goodreads page!
Me: Your book, ‘Behaving Bravely,’ delves deep into your
past to explain who you are in the present and what you
went through to get you here. The tools you’ve developed
are incredible! Have you ever met anyone who just wasn’t
able to implement the tools and have them work in their
favor?
Anita:Yes I have had a few clients that chose not to
implement the tools not because they were not interested
but I feel they were not ready not that they did they
resonate.
Me: What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time, if
you have any?
Anita: Hiking and spending time with my daughter, both
offer zen joy to me.
Me: What would you say to your younger self if you could go
back? Any advice or helpful tips?
Anita: You are gonna be OK, stay brave and know that
change is a constant.
Lastly, be sure to check out Anita’s website too for even
more information and help!

What do you think about being brave? Some closing things
for you to consider – are you happy with your life? What
could you change to work towards a more comfortable, more
fulfilling life? Are you brave enough? Feel free to share your
thoughts with me in the comments! I’d love that!
All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this book – a solid 5/5, if you
know what I mean.
