FEAR can create the ultimate PARALYSIS! It's THE thing that holds many of us back from doing something we deeply desire......It's something that I face ALL the time when putting myself out there sharing my story...my struggles....my successes, and something that MOST people struggle with in various stages of their lives.
Anyone who KNOWS me knows that I'm incredibly hard on myself and have struggled with "not being good enough"....FOR MYSELF.....my whole life. I've worked for many years on establishing the GREY AREA as life for me was always BLACK OR WHITE, and in some cases it still is.
Some of the biggest fears we face are:
- fear of failure
- fear of making a mistake
- fear of judgement
- fear of rejection
- fear of letting yourself or others down, among others
It's often our fear of these things that prevents us from being able to make a decision or is the cause of extreme anxiety. We actually TALK ourselves out of doing things because of the FEAR.
By identifying your fears and insecurities you can begin the process of determining if your fear is rooted in logic or in emotion. Over analysis can be just as paralyzing as fear. Realizing that NO ONE is PERFECT, EVERYONE fails in some way, shape or form....which ultimately leads them to success if they take the experience as one they can learn from......and overcoming the fact that you will never GROW if you don't ACT and MAKE DECISIONS can help to launch you into a whole new world of experience.
If this is YOU.....step back and identify your STRENGTHS and use them to guide you into action! Put your STRENGTH first and allow it to boost your confidence and thrust you into ACTION!
Fear is a product of the MIND and is more about an INTERNAL STRUGGLE than the reality of the outside world. If you BELIEVE in yourself and continuously strive to love yourself, in all that you are, your fears will slowly dissipate and you can get on with enjoying life!!!!
