“Everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear” – George Addair and Jack Canfield
It’s ok to be scared, but it’s not ok to let that fear stop you - Jermain Harris
I want to tell you something neat about fear… It’s a bit of an illusion! Something our mind fabricates to try and stop us or protect us from moving towards something THE MIND does not understand or an outcome that is unknown. That’s it. It often references something from the PAST that is NOT HAPPENING now or even in the potential future.
Have you ever heard of all those FEAR acronyms, False Expectation Appearing Real ? Freeze Experience Avoiding Reality! Finding Excuses and Reasons…. The list goes on and on…
However, a few simple techniques, and one can master dealing with Fear, after all, once understood, it is just energy, then perhaps you can move toward more positive acronyms, such as Feeling Excited And Ready, Face Everything And Rejoice… and so forth.
The good news is we can end this vicious cycle, once you realise this, you can open to a greater potential and countless possibilities, leading you towards a more happier, fulfilling and perhaps far more exciting life… the future you will thank you for it too!
It’s all about the Mindset. Some of the ways to overcome our fear, get out of that negative loop, and those fixations of perceived threats, that have been limiting your freedom and sense of power and purpose, is to learn ways to move through it. Understand the feelings and sensations, learn to self regulate the emotions, to work with the beliefs and practice good habits such as grounding and relaxation exercises, plus learning about your triggers and activations, discerning the mistaken interpretations, and connecting with yourself, being kind and caring towards that part that is fearful, bring some understanding to the situation (EG Of course that looks scary, you have never done that before… ), create reality checks to what is really happening in factual terms, not perceived, and lose the story… if you were to look at this with innocent eyes, what is really here? Beyond this, if interested, I have lots of other tools too that work well.
Have fun with it! And if no-one has told you lately, I believe in you! Namaste, Frances.
