Fear can be crippling, debilitating, frustrating and can hold you back from moving forward in the direction you want for your life. At the same time it can be a powerful driving force, if used positively to drive you forward and catapult you to change. If the fear of not making the change is more fearful than actually feeling it and doing it anyway!
How does Fear show up in your life? If you are not achieving your goals and dreams, living the life you want, what is stopping you?
Is it Fear of failure? Is it underlying not having the confidence or the courage to step out of yourself and just go for it regardless of the result. I call this the what if attitude…what if I fail? Well, what if you succeeded?
Is it fear of success? If you become too successful you may lose friends and family because you have grown above and beyond their success level. If you are excelling and achieving amazing success the fear may be that you will lose them and they may feel insecure or inadequate. So its easier to stay where you won't outshine them. Mostly unconsciously of course! I call this the mediocre attitude…if I stay where I’m at I won’t intimidate or lose my friends and family. What if, you could support then and help make a difference in their lives with your success or take them along for the ride with you?
Is it fear of change? If I change what I’m doing in my life or career I will be out of my comfit zone because I don't know what else I can do. Being comfortable means being safe and secure, even though I am struggling and unhappy. I call this the complacent or comfortable attitude...What if it was doing something you are really passionate about and you had the support of people who believed in you? Could this be your new safety and security formula for success?
Is it fear of the unknown? The feeling of not knowing what could or if it is possible for you to achieve your dreams? I call this the doubtful attitude...What if you went on a journey of self-discovery and you could really delve into the depths of unlimited possibilities that is all around you? How would that feel?
There are many forms of fear and you may not even recognize it as Fear as it can manifest as something else. Stress, lack of confidence, self-esteem, self-image, addictions, negative behaviors, negative beliefs, control and other negative emotions. It is a result of a memory or perception from the past that is controlling your life and your future. Linked to our past conditioning's and experiences that create our beliefs and behaviors good and bad. It controls us and unconsciously pulls us away from what is truly possible! FEAR is really just energy that we're familiar with, that we put a label on and that label controls you.
Not everyone is willing or ready to go on this journey because for some, it is easier to stay the same. It takes courage to step out of your comfort zone and be prepared to do the work required to make these changes. For others it serves them to stay in the energy of unhappiness and discomfort living this way. On an unconscious level it gives them what they need, even if in a negative way, it serves a need at some level. The need to be loved, to be connected, to be accepted.
You CAN breakthrough this FEAR if you are willing to commit to getting results instead of living the story of why you are not achieving or living the life you desire.
