Monday Motivation - Conquer your fear!

Conquer your fear by learning how to question it, plan for it, then mock it!

If you're like me, then you have a little voice in your head that expresses your "fears for the future" by saying things like . . .

"This is going to totally fail" 😫

"I'll lose everything and embarrass myself" 😥

"What if it all goes wrong" 😕


Rather than "try to think positively" or "ignore the fear"

I've found that Questioning, Planning, and Mocking are much more effective

Fear:

"This is going to fail"

Questioning:

"How is it going to fail specifically?"
"What are the 10 most likely scenarios of how this will fail?"
"Are any of these scenarios legitimate enough to plan for?"

Planning for your fear:

"If 'X' happens, I'm going to 'Y"
"'Y' is the best action to take for the following reasons"
"Here is a basic outline of how to do 'Y' effectively"

Mocking your fear:

"You really think that 'X' is going to happen? That's dumb"
"Ha! 'X' really, that's what you're worried about!"

Don't let your fears run your life! Learn to manage them effectively and then take some action on your dreams!
