• 4 Techniqus for Moving Past Your Fear

There are moments when just thinking positively won't move you past your fear and anxiety.  There will be times when simply waiting it out is the best course of action.

Fear is much like a swamp - it begins to consume us if we stand still long enough and we find ourselves stuck in one spot.  It's difficult to get out, but it's not impossible.

If you are stuck in fear as you aim for success, there are 4 ways out:

1. Consider where the fear came from in the first place?  Have you been focussing too much energy on the difficulties instead of the opportunities? Have you been listening to and influenced by those around you who are cynics and pessimists?  If so, steer away from these people as they mean you no harm but do you no good!

2. Take a notepad and write down what you have achieved so far in your life.  Take a good look at your list of goals and check the small steps you are taking to achieve them. Are you still on tracj or have you strayed off track?  If so, get back on track!

3. Take stock of your natural talents and skills.  Fear often tells us that we, "don't have what it takes."  Don't let fear dictate to you. Assess your skills and positive attributes, then examine the problem again with this renewed appreciation of your talents. Remember too that fear really is not having all the necessary information you need to help you move on.

4. Finally, remember this acronym when facing FEAR,
F = False
E = Evidence
A = Appearing
R = Real

For this is what FEAR really is.  Picturing in your mind what you don't want to happen and making you believe this is real.

Once you know and understand these things and how you mind works, you will be able to move past your fear and onto the next step in achieving life long success.
