How to Crush Your Fears

You CAN Crush Your Fears!

What holds us back is not your inability. It’s your insecurity. Insecurity is imagined. It is a fear that you cannot do “it”. It is worry of what other people will think. It is your lack of self-confidence sneaking up behind you, whispering in your ear. Fear can loom large in your thoughts and even show itself in your body with physical symptoms of anxiety.

Do you feel tightness in your chest, butterflies in your stomach, nausea or shortness of breath? These are all your body’s response to your mental picture of what you fear. When you dismantle your fears, you reset to a calm space and can take action on your dreams.

In dismantling fear, you will have to get clear on what you want most – Do you want to take action and live your dreams, or to stay safely stuck?

Identifying the worst possible outcomes doing the thing you fear is a necessary step in order to crush your fear. When you stay in a place of fear, you are essentially restrained from taking action toward your idea or dream. Fear holds you back. As uncomfortable as it is to be afraid, you may find the feeling of being “snuggled up” by inertia very familiar.

Maintaining the status quo, not reaching for more, and avoiding opportunity keeps you coddled and safe. When you realize this, it is time to look within and question what you want most – to stay safe or to experience the journey that may take you to your dream outcome. What price are you willing to pay to stay stuck holding on to what you are avoiding? Is the cost lost revenue? Ailing relationships? Deteriorating health?

Which do you want most? To move through your fear and take action, or stay “safely” stuck?

The next step in dismantling your fear is to identify the worst possible outcomes of taking action. To do this, take a walk down the imaginary paths of each scenario. Put yourself into the picture, and imagine what may go wrong, and your response. Do this a few times and notice how you deal with the potential challenge.

You will find that you are resourceful and have likely overcome something similar in your past. With these tools to dismantle fear in hand, you will be inspired to take action from a place of confidence. The world needs what you have to offer! Crush your fears and actively live your life!
