How To Fight Fear

We all have them.

We all try to use them to get out of trouble, lying, hurting someone we love. We use them to get out of things we don't want to do even though we know we should.

The thing about excuses is that they will never help us move in the right direction. They will always be what holds us back. They will always be the mistake we make. Whether we are the one giving them or accepting them from others. They will never make us better people.

So why do we use them? give them? come up with them?

Fear is the answer. Fear is what holds us back as humans in so many ways. Over coming fear is one of the most important things we can do as a person. Letting go over fear would have us accomplishing so much more than we do. If you ever look at someone who is rich, famous, business owner, or leader, they all have the same thing in common. It's not that they lack fear, no. They just feel that fear, and DO IT ANYWAY.

That is the only way to over come it.

Sometime we don't know exactly what our fear is. In this case, trying some writing exercises can help. Start by writing in a notebook or journal. This way you can look back on what you write for future reference.

The first prompt I want you to answer is:

Who in your life right now makes the most impact on the decisions you make? Are they holding you back?

What is something you have always wished you have done? Why haven't you done it yet?

Where would you like to see yourself by next year?

Do you engage in at least one self-care activity each day?

As you answer these questions, you will find that your brain will lead you to places you didn't expect. You might find something interesting in your answers. Furthermore, you may start to see the pattern of why you are not achieving the things you want. Is money a factor? Is it someone in your life?
