Working with fear & overcoming limiting beliefs to create success
FEAR
Let’s start with a true definition of fear … “An unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger” - Mirriam-Webster Dictionary
An important distinction we need to make is that the fear described above is part of a natural survival response to something that could actually harm us (i.e. a hungry mountain lion, falling tree, car accident etc.).
What many of us experience daily, however, is continuous thoughts that I like to refer to as ‘false fear’.
FALSE FEAR
False fears are the thoughts we think that will not actually bring us any real harm, just perceived harm, in the present or future.
An important realization with this is that both real fear and false fear still cause the physical body to respond in the same way, using the body’s stress response of fight, flight, or freeze.
During this stress response, one actually loses the ability to rationally and creatively solution, they simply are put into reactionary mode.
So, you can imagine how unhelpful false fear becomes in your business. Yet, many times a day, entrepreneurs have these thoughts of false fear and are subjected to the corresponding stress response
