Beating fear and succeeding

How to conquer your fears

Some people have so much fear it stops them moving forward or being successful.
Fear is the enemy of success.
Big rewards only result from taking some risks.
If you're ruled by fear, you'll block yourself from taking enough risks and block the success you deserve as a creator of your reality.

1. Put courage first and comfort second.

Repeated surveys have shown that most people value "security" or their ‘comfort zone’ over nearly everything else in their lives.

People will put up with work that they hate, marriages that make them depressed, and habits that are killing them (think "comfort food") simply to feel more secure or comfortable.

If we take the example of ‘comfort food’ many use it to ‘numb their feelings’.

I've learned that the actions that scared me the most at any given time have paid off the most. Such as starting my own business at 18, moving countries, finding my spirit mate and dating him, letting go of those that no longer served my highest and best, leaving a business partnership, speaking in front of over 200 people,  I could go on but you get the picture right?
 That doesn't mean these moves weren’t challenging at the time, but I've managed to retrain my brain through Theta Healing® to get past the momentary fear and push toward the payoff. Here are some simple ideas you can take on as part of your thinking.

To conquer fear, you must consciously let go of your comfort zone "as the thing that you value most'' Give up being too comfortable for too long and replace it with a virtue of courage.  You must decide, once and for all, that it's more important for you to have the courage to do what you must to be successful, rather than to cling to the things that make you feel safe. That is not to say be ‘unsafe’ but merely take some more risks in your life. Sometimes safety and comfort are mindnumbingly boring and anti- life

2. Discern between Fear, Prudence and Common Sense.

Most fears are irrational, illogical and unreasonable. For example, you may be  afraid to make an important call because if it goes wrong, you'll have to face the fact that you "failed." 
Or you might be afraid to confront a co-worker who acts like a bully in case they make you feel worse. You could be afraid to  start your own business because you're not sure you can make it work.

It's these irrational fears that hold you back and keep you from being more successful.
There are other sorts of fears that are actually just simple prudence or common sense. For example, you might be afraid to rush whilst you drive because you might cause an accident. Or you might be afraid to be arrested or fined if you skip through all the red traffic lights.
Make certain you aren't pretending to be prudent--when you're just trying to avoid taking reasonable risks. Or holding off doing what’s necessary because you’re afraid you’re not good enough.

3. Fear is a sign to take action.

If what you fear is outside of your control  write down a specific plan of the exact steps that you’d take in order to adapt, if and when it happens.

Once you've finished that plan, put it  aside and forget about it.
You've done what you can; it's time to move on.

But if what you fear is inside your control--some action that you're afraid to take, that is--take a few moments to prepare yourself, then do the thing that you’re afraid of.
You can always enlist in a Theta Healing® course or session to overcome fears and phobias.
I mean now. Not tomorrow; not next week. Right now, before you read the rest of this post. Call that person. Write that email. Create your dream business plan. Do it now!

4. Fear and Excitement are the same energy.

Take a moment and concentrate on the energy of fear that’s really fun. Think about the last time you were at a fun fair on a fast ride: You probably felt plenty of fear, but you were also having a great time and your senses were sharpened and you felt really alive..
A life without fear or the courage to do something about it would be pretty boring and ‘flat’.

5. Your fears are not yours

You may have grown used to thinking of your fears or phobias as your own. They may have been with you your whole life. In Theta Healing® we come to understand that fears can be inherited on a genetic line, relived from a history level or simply be you tapping into the collective conscious fear of the news.  We also know through kinesiology and digging for a root belief that the root of the fear is seldom to do with the original limiting belief.
