At the beginning of this year 2024, I wanted to start strong by talking to you about FEAR or rather how to better use your fears to move forward more quickly in January.
Ahh fears, they are so sneaky and they cling to you like real leeches. To finally escape from them, you really have to put in the effort.
However, once you manage to recognize that fear has taken over at some point, you can calmly free yourself from its grip. It is enough to be aware that this is not reality, but rather the pattern you have constructed yourself.
It is important to understand that fear is a fundamental survival mechanism. It allows us to react quickly in the face of danger and to take the necessary measures to protect ourselves.
However, it is common for fear to be misinterpreted and to lead to limiting, even paralyzing, behaviors. It is therefore important to dispel the misconceptions surrounding it, which can create mental and emotional blockages. Learning to understand one's fears means learning to manage them better, to be more confident, and to make better decisions in life while breaking the automatically constructed patterns.
PROCESS WITHIN YOU
- When you face a fear, an alarm signal is triggered within you. It activates a memory or a past interpretation with a reaction similar to the last time. At that moment, your brain goes into attack mode. This is caused by your reptilian brain, the most primitive part, reacting to the slightest danger, and your amygdala, the part where your emotions are stored, which becomes activated.
- "They take control of your body, at that moment, rationality is no longer at play, it is simply about saving your skin, no matter how."
- To overcome this, identify the root cause of fear.
- Imagine the results you want to achieve by overcoming it.
- Take action and explore your fears by observing how they manifest.
- A fear hides a need, desire, hidden limit, and once identified, you will be able to move forward more quickly.
- By confronting and questioning your fears, you can learn to live in the present moment, letting go of those imaginary future anxieties.
Remember that even if the journey may be difficult, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
It is essential to understand that fear is an integral part of the human experience. Instead of viewing it as a weakness or an obstacle, we must embrace it as an opportunity for personal growth. It is important to understand our fears, to accept our responsibility towards them, to express them positively, to overcome and challenge them; otherwise, you will always remain stuck at the same stage.
FEAR = SIGNAL TO ACT DIFFERENTLY
By doing this, we free ourselves from self-imposed limits and become more self-aware and stronger. Let’s not forget that our fears do not define who we are, but what we make of them is what truly matters. So, let’s use our fear as a catalyst for a more fulfilling life, and continue to move forward with courage on our personal path.
