Courage isn’t the absence of fear.
It’s the strength to be whom and what you are, in spite of the fear! Here are tips to develop courage and release the fears that block you:
1. Acknowledge the fear. Don’t make excuses and name it something else. You can’t defeat or move through your fear if you don’t acknowledge it’s existence. You can fault somebody else, you can call it inconceivable or you can simply admit that you’re afraid. Once you acknowledge that fear is in operation, you can start to alter it.
For example: have you ever said ‘I hate speaking in public’? Is the true fear something else? Such as ‘I hate being judged?’…just a thought.
2. Acquire understanding from the fear. What are you founding the fear on? Choose to see a richer truth. We feel fear when we trust the lies that our ego is telling us. We believe what we have swallowed as truth either consciously or unconsciously.
For example: fear interviews? Have you had one ‘negative’ experience? Is one time enough evidence to form a truth?
3. Dedicate to courage. Announce the deeper truth. Persistently reprogram yourself for success and brave actions. Remember that eminent love and great accomplishments demand great risk.
Reprogramming is not ‘instant’ – sorry but it’s not, others will try and sell it! Because they pray on out fears. It’s got to become habit.
4. Confront the fear. Sense the fear and do it anyhow. Respect your courage. Take action.
5. Respect yourself every time you face a fear. Particularly the little ones. When you have admitted its only fear keeping you back, you can proceed through it.
To conquer fear: every now and then, take that first step, nothing can change from standing still.
