Today, we’re getting down into the roots of fear, understanding where it comes from, and how we can use it as fuel for success. Let’s dive in!”
Dissecting Fear: Where Does it Live?
Fear isn’t all bad – evolutionarily, it kept us safe. Our modern fears: failure, rejection, the unknown, public speaking, being ’seen’. How fear manifests: avoidance, procrastination, self-sabotage. Fear, Imposter Syndrome, & Limiting Beliefs Our inner critic - it’s fueled by fear. ”I’m not good enough,” ”I’ll fail” – these are FEAR talking, not truth.
Limiting beliefs hold us back from opportunities and personal growth. Courage: The Antidote It’s NOT about being fearless, but acting in spite of fear. Small acts of courage build confidence – like raising your hand in a meeting! Courage lets us pivot – saying ’no’, or changing careers when we’re unhappy.
Strategies for Mastering Your Fears Acknowledgement:
Name your fear (it loses power in the light). Challenge your thoughts: Is this fear realistic? What’s the worst that could happen? Reframing: See fear as a sign you’re stepping into growth territory. Visualization: Imagine yourself succeeding despite the fear.
