What is a fear you’ve overcome or outworked?
‘Every time fear wins it is strengthened.’ That quote terrifies me.
- What mindset/reframe helped you overcome hesitation?
Fear puts invisible walls up on the possibilities of our life. Some are simply good for us, some are learned and purely fed by an unruly commitment to feeling inadequate. I say ‘commitment’ because if the same diligence was put into convincing ourselves greater than that fear, we would inevitable conquer it. When you take a radical ownership of your life, you realize playing against fears is the fastest way feeling truly present and alive. It builds a confidence faster than any other habit. It makes you wonder ‘what else have I been holding myself back from?’
- I DESPISE being on camera. So I’ve done over 270media posts since 2020. The chance what I share is valuable to somebody is more important than my insecurity.
- I feared starting public interactions, so I did 100reps of just saying “Hey, I’m working on breaking my social anxiousness, can I ask you a story-question?’ And asked one from ‘Compass of Connection’😜 it became a fave thing to do when stuck on a chairlift now !
- I feared being misunderstood and social conflict. Because my upbringing reference was malicious conduct and put-downs. I didn’t want to act that way. So learning to slow down, reframe to ‘us vs problem’ conduct, I actually am fairly excited during misunderstandings. It is an opportunity to see how truly committed we are to a harmony, or whether insecurity is still running the show. Nothing refines connection like stacking victories over issues. I KNOW I get to be a living example of healthy conduct and change others sense of possibility for how arguements can unfold:)
How about you??
