In a world where anxiety and fear often overshadow the joys of childhood, Tariq Zein brings a refreshing perspective with his new book, “I’m NOT Scared, I’m EXCITED!!!“ This self-published gem is not just a children’s book; it’s a beacon of positivity that resonates with readers of all ages.

Meet Adam: A Journey from Anxiety to Enthusiasm

At the heart of the story is Adam, a young boy who believes in the incredible power of positive thinking. Whenever he feels nervous or scared, Adam doesn’t succumb to those feelings. Instead, he repeats the empowering affirmation, “I’m NOT scared, I’m EXCITED!” Through his adventures, Adam teaches us that by changing our mindset, we can transform anxiety into excitement and fear into confidence.

Adam’s journey is a delightful exploration of self-belief and determination. He shows that with a simple shift in perspective, challenges become opportunities, and obstacles turn into stepping stones. His infectious enthusiasm serves as a reminder that we all have the power to control our thoughts and reactions.

The Power of Positive Affirmations and Visualization

Zein’s book delves deep into the techniques of positive affirmations and visualization, akin to the principles of the law of attraction. By encouraging readers to repeat empowering phrases and visualize success, the book provides practical tools to overcome nervousness and anxiety. The repetitive nature of the affirmations reinforces the message, making it especially effective for children who thrive on repetition.

Breathing exercises and visualizations are woven seamlessly into the narrative, offering readers tangible methods to cope with their feelings. These techniques are not just theoretical concepts but actionable steps that readers can apply in their daily lives.

We had the privilege of interviewing Tariq Zein. Here are excerpts from the interview:

Hi Tariq, It’s great to have you with us today! Please share about yourself with our readers.

Hi, I’m a self-published author. I’ve always enjoyed writing but never really sat down and wrote seriously. I thought I’d give it my best shot. Aside from school, this is my first time trying to write a book.

Please tell us about your book, I’m NOT Scared, I’m EXCITED!!!.

Similar to the law of attraction, this book focuses on using positive affirmations rather than negative ones in various scenarios. Repetition works wonders with children. I would say the book is suitable for all ages, not just children.

Please tell us about your journey.

Having children of my own, I could feel the pressure and anxiety that this World can bring on them… and all of us. Something came into my mind, and I wrote it down. It started with a title, I’m Not Scared, I’m Excited! As for the book itself, I just used the lessons that my mother taught me while growing up. She’s always trying to see the light or humor in other people and situations, even to this day. She taught me that through the law of attraction, self-affirmations, and positive thinking, we can find a way to see things in a different light. We often lose sight of the fact that when one door closes, there are a thousand other doors that open; we just need to look for them. I tried to use repetition in the book, as the main focus is remembering to always smile, breathe deeply, and tell yourself in any given situation… I’m NOT scared, I’m EXCITED!!! I hope you enjoy the book.

Any message for our readers?

Yes, I would say to always remember, no matter the challenge we can decide to choose fear, or we can decide to be excited. Choose the latter. Big Smile. Breathe deeply. Now say it with me. I’m NOT scared, I’m EXCITED!!!

Thank you so much, Tariq, for giving us your precious time! We wish you all the best for your journey ahead!
