You need to really think about how the thing that you fear will really affect you, most of the time you will find you were over exaggerating the outcome

The universe handed me the perfect way to deal with it. Six years ago I was diagnosed with a serious life threatening disease. Without immediate treatment I would have died. All through the time I spent getting well healthcare people reminded me I'd die if I didn't finish the arduous treatment. I recovered fully.

After facing death everthing else is kids stuff.

Depends on fear of what? But I think the general principle is to focus on the positive, work on your inside because that's where fear stems from. Too much thinking on the negative causes fear. So do the opposite and focus on the positive and envision it and feel it.

Some great tactics here. It depends on what the fear is. If it's something simple (i.e. picking up the phone to ask a woman out), simply guilting yourself into it by telling yourself to 'nut up' can work well. If it's something more complicated, Dr. Burn's triple column technique can be quite effective.

This might sound shallow at first but I start with finding something to disprove that fear.

However, if I can't find that proof... I make my own proof. If I can't find support in others to allay my fears, I drive myself to create supports of my own.

Actually, fear is just a "F-alse E-vidence A-ppearing R-eal." It is neither real nor true. We tend to think of it repeatedly that is why the mind creates a reason for us to believe in so. The more we think of it, the more we get scared. To overcome fear, we must believe that it is not real and replace that unwanted feeling with positive affirmations. Think not of your fear, but think of the good things that you can experience when you overcome your fear.

In the IM world fear results in not taking action, and quite often that fear is rooted in confusion. I find it helps a lot to take a pdf or video and write all the steps out 1,2,3 and then get started.

If there are details I'm not sure about, quite often I find the details "solve themselves" so to speak, by taking the action involved in the info product.

It is a million times better than letting the fear/confusion of not knowing every detail keep me from taking action - all the difference in the world, actually.

One thing for me that I noticed when I do public speaking is that when I'm just standing in front of an audience I feel really nervous, but once I start talking I feel good and in control.

I think fear is really experienced in that moment BEFORE you take action.

So I suppose my solution would be to take action

It's difficult when you're in the eye of the storm. Believe me, I know it's not easy to resist giving into the negative emotions. Frustration, stress, depression & so on. Sometimes, you have to give into it a little, to get it out of your system, to be able to move forward & think more clearly. In my husband's faith(which is now mine), they say that, fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.

Start asking yourself questions: for example, ask "how can I make giving this speech an enjoyable experience?". Now your brain has something to do! Don't expect the answer straight away (but be aware of opportunities and situations that provide clues) - but you're going in the right direction. Get into the habit of asking yourself questions rather than making blanket (negative) statements.

Hope this help, God bless you,

Just know that all our fears are just limiting beliefs! Limiting beliefs throw obstacles in our path to achieving whatever it is that will make us happy! You have to think about the fear and if you can't come up with any rational or logical explanation for its existence, then know that you can overcome it. You may reply with "easy for you to say!". But believe me, I have been in FEAR many times, but since I have changed my perspective, it has changed my whole life!

Ah the old FEAR (false evidence appearing real) acronym.

Yeah for me it was public speaking. I remember having to take a shot before my college speeches just to calm down because I was so scared of speaking in front of the class.

Of course I learned to get over it and found that it was the fear itself that was scary. Nothing really scary about it once you get up there.

And since then I've played music in several bands in front of 20K people and no stage fright!

Sketchboard it out.

I cringe every time I see somebody go 'just do it!!!'

Obviously, there's a reason for your fear. It may or may not be logical, but if you just ignore your fear and barrel your way through it, you're going to end up really confused.

When I'm feeling afraid of a project, it's generally because there's something in the project I don't understand. I used to try 'just do it!!!' and I'd end up with zero projects completed.

Then I learned to to 'okay, why am I scared of this?" Oh! I'm scared that I'll... (something specific to that project), like for Fiverr, I was scared I'd do the vids wrong. For cold calling, I'm scared I'll get an answering machine--cause I don't know what to do with them to get call backs!

Don't just ignore your feelings. They're there for a reason. Figure out what you're scared of and listen to that. It's probably not as big as you think it is. If you're running into a fear barrier, it's probably not 'aaaugh I'm scared of success!!!!', it's probably something more like 'aaaugh I'm scared that Wordpress is going to jump out and eat my computer because I've never used Wordpress before!!!" (or whatever). If you try to ignore your fear and just barrel through it, you'll end up with no focus and likely no success. If you go 'hey, what am I actually scared of? Oh, Wordpress templates have viruses... *ask someone for help with that specific problem...*

2. Get to know the source of your fears
3. Step into the things feared
4. Make the negative flow stop
5. Enlighten all

Fear will dissipate as a direct proportion of action taken.
In other words, the more action you take to move forward, the less fear you feel.

Perception is reality. If you perceive something as threatening, you tend to feel fearful.

Shake it off!! Small victories and successes will start to dominate your fears. One step at a a time.

All success stories in history are a result of a lot of unsuccessful attempts. Success is a mater of acknowledging your fears and focus on the final goal. Just go for it!!

Life is too short. You do not want to sit down 20 years from now saying... I wish I did this or that... your time is now, today. Do it. You will be defeating fear with every small success.

Confidence = fear killer

Go for it.

Healthy lifestyle, eating the right food, enough sleep. This is how I deal with any stressful situation and that includes fear.

I strongly believe that it's a choice to be afraid, to actually let the emotion take over your mental capabilities. You see, when your fit your mind is also fit. And a healthy brain can handle any negative hormones pump to your head making you in full control of yourself.

I have not yet finished reading the 57 minutes book but the authors had some good thoughts around fear that were a little different than "face your fear."

They define two types of fear: Crippling fears and Motivational fears
"Crippling fears, i.e. the wrong fears, are those that confine you to your comfort zone."
"Motivational fears, i.e. the right fears, on the other hand, are those that spur you to action."

This is powerful to help you quit the crippling fears and embrace the motivational fears.
