#WAYS_TO_CONQUER_FEAR At the beginning of each new year many people consider making resolutions to change for the better. Of those who succeed in making resolutions many fail. But many fail before they give success a chance because of fear. Some are afraid of failure, others are afraid of success. Regardless of the source of the fear, it immobilizes too many and prevents them from achieving what they desire and are capable of. There is no more sure way to fail than to never try. This year, don’t let fear kill your hustle before you even get moving. This may help you! 1. Understand fear and embrace it. Fear exists to keep us safe. It is not inherently bad or good but a tool we can use to make better decisions. Fear isn’t designed to keep us inactive, but to help us act in ways that generate the results we need and want. Embrace fear as instruction and let it inform your actions, but not control them. 2. Don’t just do something, stand there! We tend to admire people who are quick to action, but being deliberate, creating a plan, and pacing yourself are also actions. Many a successful undertaking has been threatened or ruined by haste alone. When fear strikes consider whether the correct action might be to analyze the options and make a wise, well thought out choice rather than jumping to what seems right in the heat of the moment. 3. Name the fear. Sometimes merely stating what your fear is gives you the strength to deal with it. Say your fear out loud, write it down, or focus your mind on it. When you try to ignore your fear, it grows. When you face it, it shrinks. 4. Think long term. 5. Educate yourself. 6. Prepare, practice, role play. 7. Utilize peer pressure. 8. Visualize success. 9. Gain a sense of proportion. 10. Get help. 11. Follow others, find a recipe. 12. Have a positive attitude. 13. Be willing to pivot. 14. Focus on others as your motivation. Life has a long way in Fear! #abwenelson (at Jumeirah Grand Mosque) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8wvi8BBuC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
