If you have, or are now, dealing with fears that are preventing you from moving ahead in your career or your business, you are not alone.
Dealing with fear and the reasons for them is a big part of my business. You see, fear is really the underlying basis of procrastination and avoidance. It is the root-cause of why most people never finish a task or a goal, why they can’t speak up at a meeting or market their business. And, sadly, it is the underlying reason why relationships suffer from not making your needs known.
How you define fear can dictate your reactions to its meaning. I recently ran across two definitions of fear that I think are important to share in the hopes that you might look deeper into your fears and decide to banish them once and for all:
Forget Everything And Run
Face Everything And Rise
With the first, you can go into flight mode and run away from what you want; however, you ultimately have to live with the results – not having what you desire and then living with your inaction’s and resulting frustrations. OR, you can choose to face your fears and overcome them. The more you do, the more long-lasting results you will see.
You need to decide which path you want to take- to face your fears or to allow them to control you. Make the choice to overcome any fear you have; recognize that their power is from you, which means you can easily take it away.
Here are some steps you can take to rid yourself of those pesky fears that are holding you back:
This week, make your focus the quest to uncover the real reason for your fears; then, question their validity and what you think would be the worst outcome. Rewrite those outcomes as a positive statement and monitor how you feel when you read them. Vow to take one small action step on what is holding you back then ‘see’ how much you get accomplished. Commit to building on these actions and monitor your progress until your goal is achieved.
