10 WAYS TO
SAY NO TO FEAR THIS NEW YEAR
It’s a new
year and a new set of resolution. But how many will you actually see through to
the end? And how many will fall by the wayside because of one simple four
lettered word . . . FEAR.
Fear gets
the best of us, whether it is fear of failure, fear of success or even fear of
fear. All of us have experienced fear at some point in our lives and it can be
a real stumbling block that holds us back from being truly successful.
But don’t
panic, there is a way to conquer these fears, and what better time to start
than this New Year.
Here are my
top 10 fast acting tips for you to conquer your fear this year:
1. SEPARATE REALITY FROM PERCEPTION
See the reality of the situation for it is. Be rational and get clear on
the facts. Soul search and explore your perception of the situation at hand.
2. IDENTIFY THE TRIGGER
Isolate the specific aspects of the situation that trigger your fearful
thought. What’s the worst that could happen? Change the way you look at these
triggers and you will immediately change the way you react.
3. KNOW WHERE FEAR LIVES IN YOUR BODY
Be in tune your fear lives in your body. Use it as an indicator to tell
you when something needs to be addressed. What you are of are aware of you can
act on.
4. BECOME AN OBSERVE
When you observe something, you do it from a detached place. So if you
become an observer of your fear, then you’re not in it and reacting
instinctively.
5. LISTEN TO YOUR INNER TALK
Monitor your inner conversations. When you hear negative self-talk, stop
and change the script to positive talk. Keep repeating it.
6. CREATE A NEW ASSOCIATION
When you feel fear, conjure up a picture of something or someone you
love. Keep repeating this and soon your brain will associate your fear trigger
with something much more pleasurable.
7. CONSIDER THE WORST
Imagine the worst that can happen and come up with strategies that avoid
or lessen the likelihood of it happening. What can you put to ensure that the
worst-case scenario never happens?
8. LOOK AT THE GLASS HALF FULL
Perception is a very powerful thing. And how you feel about your
situation dictates how you respond. So think positively you’ll give yourself a
much better chance of success.
9. LEARN HOW TO CREATE SPACE
Because fear happens in the emotional parts of the brain, it’s natural to
act instinctively. So when fear rises, break the fear cycle by stopping,
creating space and breathing. This will give you time to calm down and allow
your rational brain time to catch up.
10.
MAKE
IT SAFE
When you feel safe, there is no need for fear. One of the best ways to
overcome fear is to create the safest environment possible, and that’s why it’s
important to practice, practice and practice again.
