3 Ways to Conquer Fear and Follow Your Dreams
I realized where the fear came from, and with that I was able to rid myself of it
First of all let me start by saying this… “WE ALL HAVE FEARS!”, thats right, Im scared right now but that is not going to stop me. I have let fear overtake my life for so long and frankly I am DONE!
I waited 7 years to start a Youtube Channel, 1 year to begin writing and 11 years to leave a bad relationship, What was I thinking?.Those days are gone, I am writing now aren’t I?. The truth is we do not lose fear, we manage and we conquer. Let me share 3 ways you can overcome:
1. Dissect the Fear- Realize exactly what your fear is and where it began. You dont need to go to a therapist for this, or maybe you do (that’s totally ok) but ask yourself and dig deep. For myself, I always feared failure, I used to play sports in Highschool for a team that was in all honesty pretty awful and lost every single game (I wish I were being sarcastic)but this made me feel like a failure.I went on to college and could never finish what I had started and always had a belief that no matter how much I worked, I was never good enough and would eventually lose. I needed to know that these memories were stored in my brain so that I could begin to heal and pinpoint them whenever they made an appearance in my life.
Now that you have dissected ……
2. Tell Yourself the Truth- Maybe I was a part of a terrible team but that didnt mean I was terrible , the truth was no one had played basketball, It was a new school without proper coaches and the other teams had years of experience that we did not have. You need to start telling yourself the truth! Replace those fearful words with words of encouragement and stop repeating lies to yourself. FEAR IS A LIAR!
Ok, you dissected and showered yourself with Truth…..NOW WHAT?
3. Take a step- Go ahead, start your YouTube Channel, Enroll back in school, send your resume to your dream employer, sign up for your real estate licence. Whatever it may be just take the first step and allow that first victory to drive you to more and more small victories.
I believe in YOU!
