“What if”- Are your fears keeping you stuck?

I’m going to start with a bit of a personal story today and if I’m honest it turned out to be so empowering for me.

 

Before I tell you what happened, I’m wondering whether you’re feeling a bit stuck at the moment or whether you’re finding yourself “just not doing it” although you really want to move closer to your goal/ dream/ desire?

 

I knew it! You feel like this all the time or at least every now and then right?

This was me last week !!!

I was thinking about why I wasn’t taking action towards what I really want to create in my life and it turns out that I hid my dream in some basket, put the lid on top and forgot about it (or at least made myself forget about it).

 

Can you believe it?

Why would I just push my dream to the side?

It was F.E.A.R !!!

 

Fears can be conscious or subconscious but what they do most of the time is not helpful. They are holding us back, making us stuck, make us procrastinate and more.

 

This is what it was! “What if” I only made my dream come true…

Fear of success?

Fear of stepping outside my comfort zone?

 

It doesn’t matter what you’re afraid of deep down, what matters is to become aware of these fears and to bust them so they no longer keep you stuck!

 

F.E.A.R – False Evidence Appearing Real !

This is my favorite way to look at fear.

What evidence do I truly have to support this fear?

The more evidence you find to show that this fear has no legs to stand on, the more empowered you will feel and the less power your fear has.

 

The next step forward is to find an action that you’re confident taking, knowing that it will get you a step closer to your dream/ goal!

 

This is exactly what I did and I hope it’ll help you from feeling stuck to taking one step forward!
