These irrational fears that come can paralyze us and prevent us from making progress, being of service to others, and accelerating in our areas of calling.
What is an irrational fear?
Fear that has not been addressed or fear that has been addressed that you’re still allowing to negatively infiltrate your mind most unproductively.
When you have an irrational fear, do the following:
Question the fear (i.e., why do I have this fear?)
Ask yourself what the worst possible outcome is
Think about how you might address the worst possible outcome
Acquire the facts of the situation
What can you determine from the facts about the fear? Are there still actions that need to be taken?
Is the worst possible outcome likely to happen based on the situation?
Where can you focus your energy, so you don’t waste time contemplating the fear?
Most of our fears never happen.
The more time we spend on fear, the less time we give ourselves to focus on what genuinely matters – living a productive, meaningful, and fulfilling life.
