Imagine Living a Life Without Fear
Fear can be a powerful influence in your life, often
determining the actions you take or don’t take in many
situations. At various times fear has probably stopped you from
pursuing goals, making new friends, starting or keeping a
romantic relationship, applying for a better job, starting your
own business, or life changes that you would consider to be
positive.
Can you imagine what it would be like to live your life
without fear? Obviously you can’t eliminate fear altogether,
nor would you want to. Some fears help keep you safe by
discouraging you from jumping off a cliff or stepping into a
line of fast-moving traffic. But the other kind of fears; the
ones that prevent you from living the life of your dreams – how
would it feel to release those once and for all?
For example:
Imagine if you had absolutely no fear of failure and you
knew that you could accomplish anything you wanted – no
limitations whatsoever. What would you do with your life? Would
you change careers? Would you go back to school? Would you
write that novel?
Imagine if you knew without a doubt that you deserved to
have everything you want, and you had no doubts that you
weren’t good enough or worthy enough. Would you finally allow
yourself to get out and meet that special someone, fall in love
and live happily ever after? Would you terminate the unhealthy
relationships that are no longer serving you and haven’t been
for years?
Imagine if you were no longer afraid to pursue your dreams
and instead eagerly embraced opportunities to live every
experience you wanted to live. What would you do if you could
do anything at all?
You may be thinking “It’s great to imagine all this but I
still feel fearful much of the time. I’m still afraid to fail.
I’m still afraid to be rejected. I’m still afraid to take a
chance. How do I get past those scary feelings?”
First of all, forgive yourself for being human. It’s
completely natural to have these feelings, and there is nothing
wrong with you – your body is wired to react strongly to
potentially threatening situations. Your body can’t tell
whether the threatening situation is truly harmful or not; it
simply gives you the warning signs like a pounding heart,
sweaty palms, shallow breathing, tightening muscles, and so on.
Fear can be pretty darn intimidating – no doubt about it!
However, it’s important to understand that fear is just a
feeling when it comes right down to it. It can’t physically
hold you back from doing anything, and it can’t limit your
potential unless you allow it to do so. Overcoming the
influence of fear so you can live an amazing life is a simple
matter of knowing how to diffuse the fearful feelings in the
heat of the moment. This can be done in a variety of ways,
including the use of calming affirmations, meditation, and
breath work. When you calm the thoughts that are triggering the
fear response, your body will automatically calm down too.
