SOMETHING HOLDING YOU BACK?

Quite often in life we decide that we really want to change something that is not making us happy. Or worse, is making us unhappy.

But for some inexplicable reason, we can’t quite nudge ourselves over the line and into action.

IT’S FEAR…

…Of the unknown. That we might fail. That things won’t change. That we will be judged. That we will look stupid…

And it’s our brain’s way of keeping us safe and firmly rooted in our comfort zone.

But challenging ourselves is good for our personal growth. And for giving our self-esteem the chance to flourish.

GOOD SH*T HAPPENS WHEN YOU STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Fear can have you believe that you’re not ready to do the thing. That the time isn’t quite right for getting started. If you listen to it.

Don’t listen to it.

Because often, when you look your fears in the eye, you will realise that they are nowhere near as scary as you have built them up to be.

Squaring up to – and taking on – your fears can empower you to do the thing(s) that the limitations of fear can impose on you.

By learning to…

Recognise irrational fears (like the fear of the unknown, of failure, of rejection)

Refuse to be pinned down by them

Reframing them and viewing them as challenges to be overcome rather than barriers preventing you from moving forwards

…you will able to step out of your comfort zone with confidence and become the unstoppable force you have it in you to be.

There is never a perfect time to start the thing. Bur there is a right time. And that time is now.

Don’t let procrastination (otherwise known as fear – the master of disguise) get in the way of you starting the thing. Start the thing.

Kick down the door of fear (it’s not as heavy as you might think) and check out what’s on the other side.
