Great post. It seems like most people stop when the fear seems to appear a lot.. I especially like the idea of setting unrealistic goals not what you usually heard.

I find being present with your fear and riding it out to a natural conclusion is the best way to get over it. Of course, easier said than done.

Hi Donald,

Great post, thank you for sharing.

I like the “getting clear about what you want” – part!

And the expression “Fear Fitness” is pretty cool! :-D

Greetings,
Claus

Hi Cath -

This post comes at a great time for me. I, too, have immersed myself in the personal development literature and it CAN be overwhelming. It can even become a bit of an addiction if you’re not careful.

I think narrowing it down to two key points is highly effective (Keep It Simple Stupid – KISS). And I have to agree that these bullet points are essential.

Celebrating the small successes (#5) is something that has helped me tremendously. It allows me to enjoy my progress without worrying about getting it all done right this minute while at the same time freeing up and unlocking creative energy. Thanks for the great post…

Paul

I think this is a great post. You are so right that it really is about reprogramming ourselves and this process will happen overtime if we continually commit to it. I think this is also one of those life lessons that we are all supposed to learn because everyone has had some sort of fear. The key is that some people will choose to work through fears and others will just let them expand and grow. The choice is ours and as you explained, there are many things we can do to eliminate fears. We just have to choose to do so.

Cath also had a great post on using fear to finding your passion.

She offered a great insight,

“Sometimes fear means that we’re entering new territory and learning, growing and thriving. Sometimes our fear is pointing us to exactly what’s most important to us and what we love most, in amongst the myriad of different demands and opportunities presenting themselves to us.”

I read a wonderful article of fear of failure on some blog called Litemind. http://litemind.com/fear-failure/
