Is FEAR holding you back in life?

Hi there.  If you have fear of any kind in your life, this Blog is for you!

Fear is a small word with only four letters, and yet it has the power to paralyse us, hold us in our tracks, and the power to stop us from going after what we really want in life.

Believe me when I say that  as somebody who knows. I spent the first  50 years of my life being a slave to fears of some kind……

I had physical fears of being held underwater and not being able to escape, and  of hearing footsteps behind me when walking home alone – both of these fears stemming from incidents that had happened when I was younger. I used to experience physical sensations of being really terrified when I thought of those things.

My biggest fear by far however, when looking back on my life, was fear of failure,  fear of what people would think or say, fear of letting myself down, fear of letting my mother or family down, fear of making a fool of myself, of not being clever enough, not being witty enough, or healthy enough, intelligent enough, talented enough.

My biggest fear I guess was  of simply not being enough…..

 Fear ruled me for many years and the result of fear is that it acts like a prison.

It keeps your world small and restricted. Fear  puts boundaries around your world.

Do you Have big goals and visions, but find fear holding you back? 

If you have big goals for your life and big visions and find that fear is holding you back, I want to say to you what  gets rid of fear is actually facing the thing that you fear the most.

For me, to get over my underwater fear I had to physically go underwater.

For me to face my fear of failure, I had to be prepared to fail, and not to be frightened to fail big time – and use the experience of ‘failure’ to learn and grow.

Get clarity on  what’s holding you back

I want to encourage you to think about what is holding you back from the life that I know you deserve: a life of being happy, feeling fulfilled, having the success you want, having a deep inner peace and contentment and having the confidence that you know you can handle anything.

What is it that is holding you back?

What is it that you fear the most?

Is it fear of trying and not quite making it?

Or do you fear staying where you are?

Or perhaps you fear getting to the end of your days saying ‘I wish I had’ instead of ‘I’m glad I did!’

the secret is to do things despite your fear

The more you do things despite any fear you feel, the more you will find your confidence will grow.

You will be able to work towards facing your bigger fears, by starting on the smaller ones.

Doing one small thing every day that scares you a bit and stretches you, will soon have your motivation, momentum and confidence grow.

Fear exists in your mind only

Fear is not something tangible, you can’t reach out and touch it. Fear is not something you can grab hold of. 

It’s not the actual ‘thing’ you fear that’s causing the issue;  it’s the thoughts you have associated with that ‘thing’ and the pictures you make inside your head.

Fear in reality  is simply a learned response  and a learned behaviour of your brain.

Strong emotions are often attached to the  incident which initially instigated your fear of ‘that thing’.

The problem is we hang on to these thoughts and emotions and replay the thoughts over and over.

At its worst, fear turns into phobias which can root people to the spot.

Just imagine for a moment  what you could do if  you set your fear aside… 

I want you to stop for a moment and think about what you would do if you could set your fear aside.

I encourage you to move from fear to faith,  and do the thing you fear anyway.

I appreciate that may make you feel somewhat uncomfortable, however the only way you can  move from fear to faith is by taking action.

So what one step could you take right here, right now, to start moving away from fear and towards faith instead?

Relax and breathe – and take that step,  and do the thing you fear the most anyway.

Courage is not the absence of fear.  It is doing things despite any fear you feel. 

Much love from me to you, as always. Know you have courage within and a deep inner strength.
