We all have fears. For each of us, our fears are different but, we all have them. We need to figure out how to overcome them and how to become fearless. Even I have them. I am scared of falling on my face, I am scared of rejection, and I am also scared of falling like from high up places. I fell off a seesaw and hit my head on a rock when I was a kid; ever since, I have been afraid to fall and hurt myself.
Like falling on my face and getting a rejection, I have been working on these and my other fears over the past year. How am I doing this, you may ask? When I wake up, I look at myself in the mirror and say I am amazing, perfect, and can do anything. I repeat this three times. The more I say it and consistently communicate it, the more it will get ingrained in my brain.
Then after a while, I will start feeling more confident and less fear of falling on my face or rejection. I look at things I have overcome, like putting myself out there on social media. Going on Stories was scary initially; I worried that people would not listen to what I had to say. But, I overcame that, and people did watch my stories.
Overcoming small fears can help you overcome more significant ones. I don’t know if you are like me, but being scared used to get in my head, and I don’t even know that it was blocking me from trying. I know I need to look for a job, but being scared of rejection was in my head. It had been there so long I don’t even realize it was there anymore. It had me saying things like I was busy today I did not have time to look for a job.
Working on overcoming fear is not a process that can happen overnight. It takes time. I am sharing some tips on how to overcome scary things.
