Isn't this a lovely idea? I painted the inside of my front door with chalkboard paint but it's usually covered in quotes or to-do lists. But I love the idea of erasing fears! Mine are:1. Flying fish
2. Lampray eels
3. Waking up one day to discover that I've fallen into a life of soul-killing disappointment and quiet desperation
You know, the usual.
What fears would you erase?

I'm afraid of fire, roller coasters, and letting my homebody/routine-lovin' personality prevent me from backpacking through Europe by myself (your e-book really helped though!)
I'd erase the hell out of those.
Sometimes I worry about spontaneous combustion! Other times it's more like WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE!!!
sorry about the comment removal: it posted it several times for some reason.
anyway, i said: i'm scared of the dark: for serious. my entire apartment is decked out in christmas lights & im "rawther" afraid i might have passed it onto my daughter. i would love to erase/delete/remove/etc this fear.
omg, #3 is my ultimate fear. I'm going back to school to get my teaching license, and I am so worried that I am succumbing to 3 (settling down and all). I keep reminding myself that I get a month long winter break, and I have a break next summer, and I can still travel!
I love to teach but do so for very little right now (hello, $11.69 an hour!). I'm hoping the license will help me get stability and more money . . . but I'm also so worried that it will trap me and keep me from taking off.
Ridiculously, I'm horridly afraid of absolutely everything. I so need this.
Thanks for the little reminders that everything is going to be okay, and we are doing everything right!!
I can definitely relate to #3.
Another fear that has recently popped into my head: infertility.
Which is really weird. We're not trying to have kids, nor do we want to any time soon. I have no reason to believe either me or my husband are incapable of procreating.
I just got to thinking about all the stress that goes into NOT having kids (pills, failure rate, and whatnot) and had the thought: What if we're going to all this trouble now, and then when we WANT to, we can't make one?
Sorry if that's TMI, but it's definitely a new and freaky sort of fear I've got.
Fear of driving. I could live with the thought 'what if I cant handle the traffic!?' never going through my mind again.
I tend to be quite anxious so most of my fears are sorta just nervous thoughts like my house catching fire or my car getting broken into. That last bit may have more to do with my neighborhood though.
falling from great heights.
abduction/murder
falling in love
rape
intestinal parasites
poisonous spiders
flesh eating diseases
finding a career after I graduate in a year
fear of failure and fear of falling...i would LOVE to erase these, would make life so much easier!
i love this idea.
Do you know where this board exists?
this is a fantastic idea...i have a bunch. irrational, mostly. but i guess acknowledging that they are is a start, right?
what a fantastic idea! I love it.
ahh I love that.
My fear is always of missing out.
Wow, this is SUCH a cool idea. I have a fear of other people watching me brush my teeth!
#3, for sure.
That I won't ever find anyone to share my life with who wants the same things I do.
Mediocrity.
My cat dying. Seriously, I don't know what I'm going to do when she dies someday. It's going to crush me.
I used to be afraid of spiders but I erased that fear. Now I just kill 'em like normal people.
I'm scared that the people who want to change my life into something I don't want will win. You know the ones who want you to have babies, have a boyfriend without a ponytail, get married, eat meat, not have tattoos etc etc. Those people. I am totally terrified!
I love this idea though :D

What would I erase? The idea that I'm not going to be a good enough yoga instructor even though I'm trained to do so and want it more than anything ;)
I'm afraid of centipedes and saying "no."
This is a much better use of the kitchen chalkboard where I draw a random something every month. Great idea.
My greatest fear is that I will never become a wife and mother.
