HOW TO LEVERAGE FEAR AND THRIVE

HOW TO LEVERAGE FEAR AND THRIVE

Achievers Four Letter Word for Stress is Fear

What is it that you are afraid of losing? What is it that you’re afraid of getting? These are two questions that I frequently asked myself. I didn’t understand that F.E.A.R. was really, False Expectations Appearing Real.
 
It isn’t all that difficult to become overwhelmed when there is a tremendous amount of uncertainty. At various times in my life, I made fear-based decisions in order to alleviate the pain of uncertainty only to create even bigger problems and more stress later. One day, I realized that if I could leverage that fear and use it as a motivator, I could then relieve my anxiety and replace it with inspiration.
 
The word stress means, “a state of mental or emotional strain or tension.” Fear is the four-letter word that high achievers use when they are overwhelmed with uncertainty. So, how do we get into an overwhelming state of fear?  When obstacles pop up that disrupt the flow.

The world is being catapulted into a new reality faster than any time in history. Can you think of anything in your life that hasn’t been affected since early 2020? We are truly in “winter” as Tony Robbins would say and we must be clear on what we value the most.

Inspirational leaders like President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy are very clear on their “why” and have clarity on their goals. I’m pretty sure that President Zelenskyy experiences fear or stress on a frequent basis as he battles Russia for survival. The difference is that he uses his fear as a motivator and boldly expresses what he values the most.

WHAT HOLDING ONTO STRESS CAN DO TO YOU

Not choosing optimal vehicles in meeting your need for certainty can cause a great deal of worry about the future and fear can be experienced quite easily.
 
Do you feel stuck in fear? Ask yourself these questions …
  • Am I Are you stressed when something new is required of me when I don’t know what’s going to happen next?
  • Do changes in plans, even if there are new opportunities, stress me out?
  • Do I put pressure on myself to make sure I don’t feel insecure?
 
If so, perhaps you’ve been defensive when required to change habits or to deal with new people and new situations.

De-Stress in Five Steps

1. Be clear about your highest value or your why and focus on it. Live in the present and experience the moment without focusing on what will happen next and what the future might hold.
2. Create a S.M.A.R.T. goal. When you set goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Related, and Time-sensitive. You have a clear map on what to do next. Get free goal setting guide >>
3. Take massive action. Doing something that will get you started immediately shifts your mind and helps give you more certainty about the future. It helps your mind answer the question of what to do next, providing you with more security.
4. Know the outcome that you want. Refer back to Steps One and Two and pivot the action-taking when necessary.
5. Refresh your why. Revisit your “why” on a daily basis. Write it down and have it present, then visualize yourself getting what you want.
Have you tried everything you can think of to find purpose and achieve your goals but seem to be stuck in a holding pattern?
