Walking with Fear
Show Notes

You decide to go skydiving and right before you board the plane, fear grips you and keeps you from getting on board.

You interview for this great job, which would be a huge promotion. Rounds 1 and 2 go extremely well but as you’re heading into round three, fear creeps in making you question if you’re capable of doing the job or you’re afraid how your life might change if you get the job.

Fear’s job in these instances is very different, yet it appears the same way.

In this episode, we are discussing all the intricacies of fear, how to distinguish fear from instinct and ultimately how to neutralize it so you can squash your fears.

MAIN POINTS OF EPISODE:

We aren’t here to tell you to turn your back on fear, instead we want to open your eyes to how you can investigate your fear and neutralize it instead of letting it overrun you.

  • Examine your fear:
  • Where is it really coming from?
  • How does your body feel?
  • Identify what triggers your bring fear.
  • Expose yourself to what you’re afraid of for 2-3 minute intervals at a time. 
  • Consider how your fear is holding you back.  
  • Neutralize your fear:
  • Recognize that is can walk alongside you but it doesn’t control you
  • Talk nicely to it, personify your fear as your frightened younger cousin in a haunted house
  • Think about the actuality of your fear really happening
