DEFEAT THE FEAR

The primary reason why we don't achieve worthwhile things in life, do not enjoy our life and do not live our life to its fullest potential is "FEAR".

Fear of the unknown, fear of known, fear of failure,fear of Rejection , fear of what others will say, fear of uncertainty, fear of losing something and many many more kinds of fears.

We can overcome fear by using the following methodologies; the most useful as far as my study and understanding are as under.

1) Living in the Present moment :

We can learn from past and plan for the future ; but there is no benefit in living in either the Past or in the future. The moment we realize that the time which we have to enjoy , improve and act upon on any of the issues in our life is the present moment ; we get free from the negative feelings and tensions which limit our energy and passion to achieve the things. There are a number of people in the world who are successful; but still they are not able to come out of the difficult past; they will always be complaining about the difficult and the problematic past that how much they have suffered in the past. Whereas there are people who prefer to live in the future , always thinking about the issues and problems which may happen in future ,as a result they deprive themselves of the precious present moment. In other words, although in the present moment they have every resource to enjoy the life and to be grateful for the blessings; but they themselves are closing the gates for happiness and contentment.

2) Confront the Fear :

Most of the time ; our fears are not natural and actual ; they are just the reflection of negative thoughts , images and feelings which keep repeating in our mind ; hence paralyzing us to the point that we are not able to think and act rationally.The best way to prevent the fear controlling our life is by confronting Fear instead of avoiding it ; once we confront the fear and act upon it by giving our energy and efforts as well as embrace the truth the fear dispels just like by the light of the sun ; darkness is eliminated.

3) Using positive Rephrasing :

Whenever we use positive rephrasing (I can do it , its possible ,its easy) although the issue at hand remains the same; however, we get positive vibes, emotions, energy and a bright picture hence completely changing our outlook and approach toward the issue. Once the approach is changed the resultant outcome in most of the cases is positive. However, when we use negative phrases like its difficult, its not possible, it's not easy; we develop fear in our minds before we even undertake the task hence we are not able to realize our full mental and physical energy potential; ultimately resulting in failure and fatigue.

4) Get rid of the Naysayers :

One of the reason for having fear and confusion in our life is due to the company and conversations with the naysayers ; who have a habit and attitude of demoralizing instead of uplifting ,encouraging and motivating. Whereas on the other hand when we have company of people who motivate us , inspire and uplift us ; we can deliver and achieve much more than what in routine we are able to deliver.

I do believe that by using the above ways we can defeat the Fear and live the life with our full potential and with a happier state of mind and body.
