7 Things I’ve Learned About Fear
7 Things I’ve Learned About Fear
inner conflict that comes from wanting to move forward and holding yourself back can be painful.
I’ve been on a mission to help people overcome and transform their fears so that they fulfill their dreams and desires.
On my journey with fear, I have realized several things:
1. We scare ourselves all the time. When no apparent danger is evident, our minds conjure up stories that we believe to be true. What ifs, worse case scenarios, anticipated outcomes that rarely ever happen unless we are intent in creating them!
2. When feeling fear, our thoughts are focused on the future. When feeling pain, we are recreating the past. We are not living in the present which is the only place that is NOW.
3. Emotions such as anger cover up fear. Why? We feel more powerfull in our anger than we do in our fear. Other emotions include depression, grief, and blame.
4. We sabotage ourselves when we feel frightened. Procrastination, rationalizations, avoidance, tolerating things, making excuses, being controlling, becoming aggressive or submissive… are some examples of how fear misdirects us from our dreams and desires.
5. Fear can be a motivator or a barrier. Fear can ignite action or become a roadblock. We choose which it will be. We can become the hero of our life or a victim of circumstances.
6. Fears are transformed by love and faith. We can learn to rewrite the tapes we play in our minds so that the messages we tell ourselves feed us rather than deplete us.
7. Fear has a positive value. If we were completely fearless and lacked caution, we might place ourselves in harm’s way, make rash decisions that have dire consequences, or make decisions we deeply regret.
Bottom line: If fear is holding you back from achieving your dreams and desires, getting to know yourself well to uncover the beliefs and feelings that are blocking you is the key to changing your results.
Imagine having the life you dream about. What's that worth to you?
