FEAR – False Evidence Appearing Real
Fear is a big topic and one that we all deal with, the acronym for Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real, but BOY does it feel real in that moment.
When fear is rising in you, no matter what it is you are trying to do, it can really feel like your life is in danger. Your EGO likes to keep you in your comfort zone and how does it do that? By making your feel fearful, frightened of making change, those great thoughts of “what could go wrong?” or “who do you think you are?”.
Three Ways to Conquer Fear in your Life
1. Take Away Its Power
When fear is rising in you, it has great power, keeping you stuck and not moving forward. So you need to take away its power, to do that you are going to take pen to paper. {sidenote: not on the computer or your phone} I want you to get out a notebook or piece of paper and you are going to write out all those thoughts and fears that are rising in you, as you do that it takes away its power.
When your thoughts are free to roam around your head, they gain great momentum. As you remove them, by writing them down, you take away the power they have over you. Just like a rock rolling down a hill, it just gets faster and faster until you remove it from the hill, then it just comes to a STOP.
2. Supporting Evidence
What evidence is there that this thought or fear is true? You are going to become an investigator/scientist, looking for the evidence that this fear you are experiencing is even real, does it have anything substantial backing it up. Chances are you are not going to find much evidence if any to support this fear and thoughts associated with it, remembering F.E.A.R ~ False Evidence Appearing Real.
3. Flip the Script
Look back over your life and recognise times where you have pushed past your fear and accomplished your goals anyway, what courage and bravery that takes. To say yes FEAR I see you but I choose to do this anyway, you get to make a choice either allowing FEAR to stop you or using it like a launching pad.
You know all those successful people you look up to, guess what they too have FEAR. Nothing big they ever do is done without FEAR, they just make a conscious choice to not allow FEAR to stop them, using it as their driving force, their launching pad and you can do that too.
