Not Letting Fear Hold Me Back
This week, I attended my first Real Skills Conference. During a breakout session, my group talked about fear, including the negative (fear as a barrier) and positive (fear as a motivator) aspects. Here are a few of my notes from the discussion.
6 Stages of Dealing with Fear:
Acknowledge the Fear.
Face the Fear.
Lean into the Fear.
Understand the Fear.
Confront the Fear
Defeat the Fear.
Fears Shared in My Breakout Sessions:
Fear of finishing.
Fear of breaking through or not being able to break through.
Fear of having to rely on yourself.
Fear of trusting yourself.
Fear of not being able to scale your success.
Fear of boredom.
We also talked about why we might be grateful for fear. I shared that fear could be motivating and that fear can also help us see things with more clarity.
There’s strength in realizing I’m not the only one dealing with fear as a possible barrier to progress and success. The key is to not let fear hold me back. Ultimately, the power is to choose to do the thing we are afraid of doing.
What fear holds you back? How can you deal with that fear? And why might you be grateful for your fear?
