Conquer fear, take control…
We all have fears…it’s part of our survival instinct… fear of failure, criticism, rejection, missing out, not being liked, not being good enough, uncertainty, change – the list goes on.
And whilst the feeling of fear is valid, as it highlights what’s important to us and what’s at stake, our response to fear is often far from optimal.
Indeed, our response may actually be sabotaging our success, providing even further validation for fear. The self-fulfilling prophecy!
Improving your self-awareness as to what triggers fear for you, and how you typically respond when you feel it, is the FIRST STEP.
When you are aware, you are able to choose a better response that will meet your needs, and achieve what you want.
