This article will focus on how you can learn to conquer your fears – the negative fears that limits you from living the life that you want.
Why is it important to conquer your fears? Fear is a distraction that can limit you from reaching your goals. For example, the fear of not accomplishing your goal may lead you to never even attempt engaging in the process that would get you what you want. Yet, keep in mind, often the most exciting opportunities and experiences initially create fear.
Fear create worry and limiting thoughts. It leads to living a crippling existence that is often unfulfilling because it stops you from being your best and going after what you want. Successfully conquering fear is the difference between merely living your life compared to having a thriving and fulfilling life.
Take power away from the fearful worry and limiting thoughts by refocusing your mind toward things that can fuel your greatness. You can begin by thinking thoughts like “I can do this” or “I’ve got this.” Such positive thinking will propel you toward taking action steps against your fear, and its hold over you weakens over time.
While in the midst of it, your brain is tricking you that it’s unsafe to take action. But it is a trick. Take baby action steps that can build your tolerance of the fear, and before long you will be taking bigger and bigger steps, toward doing the very thing that once seemed “impossible.” By acting, you are engaging in the best response to overcome and create a thriving life.
HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY CONQUER YOUR FEARS?
- Acknowledge the fear without being critical of yourself
- Have a mindset that “my only option is to go after what I want” and consistently repeat it as your mantra
- Mentally visualize what it is you want, and see yourself successfully getting your desired results
- Create and repeat positive thoughts that builds and pumps you up toward action
- Set the expectation you will do your best, and set the intention to follow through every time you are able to do so
- Diligently and consistently engage in the baby action steps, that will grow over time, in support of what you want
- Support yourself during the process by also engaging in fun activities that you already feel competent and powerful doing
Choose to start with thoughts like “I can do this” and “I got this,” then get busy engaging in actions that help you create what it is you want.
So, ask yourself:
What am I fearful of?
What fearful thoughts am I repeating?
What baby action steps can I take to overcome my fear?
How can I support myself to conquer this fear?
