What Scares You the Most? - Facing Our Fears

It's easy to let fear control you with the strong emotions it invokes. But allowing our emotions to control us is what causes us more pain & struggle than examining why we feel this way & what we should do to push through. I'm reviewing 7 of the biggest fears that hold us back & what we should about it.

Show Notes:
If I were to ask myself what scares me most, it would be the uncertainty of the future.

I’m a planner & I like to have an idea of what’s going to happen or just plan it out myself. It’s pretty simple for me. But what feels simple to me is actually difficult in a world where you never know what is going to happen.

In general, I have a problem with fear. And it feels like I pick up a new fear every single week because I’m trying harder to challenge myself & step out of my comfort zone. Which is a good thing! We are supposed to be out there pushing boundaries & making ourselves better by engaging in new experiences & going through mistakes & failures. Things I talk about ALL THE TIME with you all. But talking about, teaching about & coaching you all through doesn’t make it any easier to deal with myself & me helping you through isn’t going to make the process any easier for you, but it does give you tips on how best to manage it & make it to the other side.

I try to approach most of my fears by asking myself, “What’s the worst that could happen?” This exercise doesn’t always help because I start to believe the worst-case scenarios I come up with & really just scare myself even more. But when it does work, it can boost my confidence a bit & shave the fear down a little bit. I have found that understanding the circumstance or the experience I have to go through a bit more does help to reduce my fear. 

Today I want to answer the question, “What Scares You the Most,” with 7 fears that hold us back the most in life & what we can do to face those fears:

1. Uncertainty (anxiety is crippling, but worrying about the future will change nothing or manifest anything good)
2. Failure (best learning lessons & no one’s perfect)
3. Rejection (this is nice because it gives you an end/final answer, provides direction or need to challenge yourself)
4. Being Judged By Others (people will judge no matter what because it gives them a break from judging themselves)
5. Missing Out (FOMO is a time-waster/look into why you feel this way: inadequacy, jealousy?)
6. Change (we all need growth)
7. Success (leads to procrastination & lack of action, holds you back indefinitely)
