Fear is able to have two effects on our lives, you get rational fear which helps us to avoid sustaining serious injury and then you get irrational which limits our ability to grow and become the best we possibly can. It is this irrational fear which I believe we all need to be rid of to truly free ourselves so as to be able to become Wealth Creators.
What we need to be fully aware of is the fact that fear is nothing more than an emotion and for this reason we should be able to control it and be free of it if we know how to reprogram the subconscious mind so that the reactions which it sends to the body when confronted by the object or situation which causes the fear.
There are many very effective ways of actually changing the programming of the subconscious mind such as those I teach my Kaizen Wealth students which include various ways of being able to access the subconscious mind such as Powermorphing.
However for those of you who have not yet used this very powerful and informative course to find true freedom and a life of abundance in every aspect of your lives, here are a few simple steps which you might want to try in order to begin to overcome your irrational fears which are holding you back from being the best that you possibly can be.
1. Identify your fear – To effectively be able to overcome something which you fear, you need to know its true nature. Once you are able to identify the cause of your fear, you must ask yourself “Can this thing which I fear actually hurt me?”
Once you are able to determine whether it is a rational or irrational fear, you will already be well on your way. If the fear is found to be irrational, then you are already beginning to realize subconsciously that there is actually nothing to fear as this object or situation can cause you no harm.
If you still feel that this might be a rational fear, then take the time to be honest with yourself and be sure that it is not the fear telling you this but is your decision based on fact. Take for instance the fear of going in an elevator, fear will tell you that it is a rational fear because the cable of the elevator might break and you could be harmed, however the fact of the matter is that the chances of this actually happening are almost zero.
2. Look to others – Look around for others who have had the same fear as what you have, there always be a few, and try to find out what it is that they did to overcome their fear. As I always teach my Wealth Creators Mentorship students, there is no reason for you to try to reinvent the wheel. Take the time to learn from others so as not to have to make the same mistakes which they might have made.
3. Face your fear – You can talk about and examine your fear all you want but unless you decide to become an action taker, you will achieve nothing. The only way to begin to overcome this fear is to actually face it, even if you choose to apply the Kaizen Principle and begin to face it one step at a time.
Let’s take the example of climbing in an elevator once again. Get someone you trust to go with you and take that first step towards facing your fears, simply climb into the elevator with them and then out again, the next time try to go up one floor and the next time two.
By doing this you will be taking small but significant steps towards achieving your goal and overcoming a fear which could be holding you back in life and restricting your growth and happiness as a person.
4. Actively change your mindset – Become aware of the fact that it is incorrect programming of your subconscious mind which is bringing this fear into being and that you have the ability to change this programming so that it no longer affects you in this way.
Make a conscious decision to change this programming, the fear you experience grows every time you feed it more fear. Convince yourself this fear is irrational and use what ever means you have such as affirmations to undo this programming.
There are of course far more effective ways of gaining access to the subconscious mind and changing its programming such as those which I teach in my Kaizen Wealth Course where I actually supply my students with mental exercises so that they can learn this ability and apply it to every aspect of their lives.
5. The best defense is a strong offence – Force yourself to no longer hide from your fears, rather learn everything you can about your fear and its origins so as to be able to formulate a strong offensive against it . Understand your fear completely and soon you will come to realize that it actually is weak and has no power over you.
As the old saying goes, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself!” and the longer you allow these fears to restrict your quality of life you will never know freedom. Break the bonds
