9 Ways To Eliminate Fear and Accept Flow Into Your Life This Week

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 and can create those Sunday night scaries.

Fear can’t hold you back forever if you don’t let it. There are several ways to overcome fear, here are my top 9:

?

1. SEPARATE REALITY FROM PERCEPTION

Ask yourself what is really going on?? Locate the facts, and place them over your feelings.??

?

2. IDENTIFY THE TRIGGER

Figure out what it is in a situation that triggers you. Learning to identify it will help you learn to combat it.

?

3. KNOW WHERE FEAR LIVES IN YOUR BODY

A lot of times, fear takes over physically. It affects different people in different ways. Identify if/how it affects your physical body and do the work to take care of your body. Ex: if you hold stress on the left side of your body or perhaps your chest/ throat feel tight at times.? Let's hop on a call to discuss how emotions and physical pain are related.? You may have a stored emotion?hiding in your cells.

?

4. PRACTICE GRATITUDE

Every day, list out 1-3 things you are thankful for. It doesn’t matter how big or small it is, gratitude helps shift the mind into a positive light, which over time, overcomes fear.?

?

5. LISTEN TO YOUR INNER VOICE

Monitor your inner conversations. If you wouldn’t say it to a friend, your kids, or your spouse/ partner, don’t say it to yourself. Speak positively to yourself and remind yourself of your strengths and progress.?

?

6. CREATE A NEW ASSOCIATION

Remind yourself that the feeling and the moment will pass. Focus on the positive outcome of the situation, rather than the scary inbetween.?

?

7. 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 and you’ll give yourself a much better chance of success. This won’t happen overnight; practice with just one thought. What is one recurring negative/fearful thought you have? Work on reversing this one thought. Over time, this will become a habit.?

?

8. PRACTICE BREATHING EXERCISES

Breathing helps center your body; when you stop breathing, your heart stops beating. You can do a grounding exercise, or even just take 5 deep, long breaths at any point to calm and center yourself. It is best to start your day with this but feel free to practice all day long.? Notice if you hold your breath while writing emails this week or start to shallow breath in heated conversations. You can mindfully shift into deep breaths no matter the situation to ground yourself in the moment.

?

9.?CREATE A SAFE SPACE

When you feel safe and secure, there is no room for fear. Find somewhere safe you can retreat to when ill feelings begin- whether this is a real place such as your bedroom, or a place in your mind such as the beach. This sense of comfort will soothe you and allow you to face your fear.?

?

Please keep in mind, that these are just 9 strategies, not everything works for everyone. But this is a place to start. Start implementing these techniques into your life and don’t let fear hold you back from reaching your goals and your highest potential this year!?
