The speaker, Tracee Ellis Ross, details her personal process for managing fear. She explains that she writes down her fears, circles the most significant ones, and then 'flips' them by identifying the opposite feeling she desires, which she then formulates into a prayer or mantra. She provides a specific example of turning the fear of never finding a partnership into a prayer affirming her worthiness of belonging and connection, which she then recites when anxiety arises.
