Fear - How Can You Overcome It?

Ever had fear stop you from doing something, maybe even from asking someone for a favour? I know that I have and I still do. Sometimes fear gets the better of me and other times I remember when I overcame the fears that I had in exactly the same way for other things. One of the best ways I found to over come fear was to do the exact thing I had a fear of doing. For example I was fearful of calling a friend of mine for a favour so I called her and her response was unfavourable, but I thought of another friend and so I called him and his response was unfavourable and then I decided I'd call anyone I could think of until I found someone who could help me.

No one else helped me because they didn't like me or what I did, it was just that they couldn't at the time do that favour for me but out of the lot one person could. I could have given up and so could you after a few try's but I chose not do so and because I chose not to I got the result I was looking for. If I had given up I wouldn't have found someone willing to help me. Have I given up before, yes I have but over the years I have found that if I persist at something long enough I will have the results that I'm looking for.

Whilst going through the process of being persistant I usually have a lot of self development to do. This self development assists me in seeing what is in the way of the areas of my life not working out and usually - well most certainly it has to do with limiting beliefs. This is where a coach or kinesiologist can assist you in creating a breakthrough in your life by removing the emotional attachements associated with the limiting belief and creating a brand new belief in yourself. And remember once a belief is created it creates a way of being which is multiplied everytime you take action to reinforce your belief whether it is positive or negative to you.

You may have had 30 years of having a belief that limits you and it is easy for you to go back to having your former life once you have created a belief change if you do not take appropriate action with your new beliefs. And if you have setbacks in the meantime it just means there is another layer for you to work on to make yourself resonate more with your new belief. Whatever does not resonate or creates resistance is an energy blockage created by a belief that has been running as a program that has been reinforced over and over again, anchoring any emotions that come up in regards to that limiting belief.

New beliefs or ways of being will create resistance. Remember resistance is a force that pushes back. So if you're going in one direction --> resistance is the opposing force <--. When you give up the opposing force wins but if you persist in your new direction and keep looking at what program it is that you're running or have been running up until now you start to create an awareness.

Awareness is the key and no matter how hard you look for yourself you wont see it (I have a saying "if you're standing in crap you wont know that it is crap until someone comes along and pulls you out of it and shows you differently, only then will you know"), that is you'll have awareness.

Having awareness does not mean avoiding dealing with whatever comes up by trying to bypass or walking around it, it means acquiring the ability to deal with it appropriately. If fear is stopping you, then having awareness means you can acquire the ability to deal with fear appropriately. And the more you are able to do what it takes to deal with fear the stronger you will become and you will overcome fear. Fear will no longer be a challenge or an opposing force, fear will be transformed for you, thus courage.

Speak with your coach or go to a kinesiologist or another professional who can help you in becoming aware of what's stopping you in your life and then equip yourself with skills that will create a breakthrough and propel you into the future. Have a wonderful journey conquering your fears.
