Conquer Your Fears: The Power of Taking Action

We all have fears. They can be small or big, rational or irrational, but they all have one thing in common: they hold us back. They keep us playing small, bringing up negative thoughts and feelings when we try to go for something outside of our comfort zones. Fear is a natural response to danger, but it can also be a barrier to growth and progress. If we let fear control us, we miss out on opportunities and experiences that could change our lives for the better. The more we respond to the thoughts and feelings fear brings up, the more powerful it becomes and the more we believe that what it is saying is true.

So how can we overcome our fears?

The first step is to acknowledge them. It's okay to be scared, its natural to feel a sense of trepidation when we start to stretch ourselves beyond our current comfort zones - the key is not to give the power to the fear but rather to what it is you are going for. When we face our fears, we take away their power over us. We can then start to look for ways to overcome them. This could mean seeking help from others, learning new skills, or simply taking small steps towards our goal. It isn't always easy, but its always worth it when you start to see the changes in your inner and outer worlds.

Taking action over our fear has many benefits:

1. It builds our confidence.

When we face our fears and take action, we prove to ourselves that we are capable of more than we thought. This confidence then spills over into other areas of our lives, allowing us to take on new challenges with greater ease.

2. It expands our comfort zone.

When we stay in our comfort zone, we limit ourselves. But when we take action to overcome our fears, we stretch ourselves and grow. We become more resilient and adaptable, better able to handle whatever life throws our way.

3. It opens up new possibilities.

When we let fear control us, we miss out on opportunities that could change our lives. But when we take action to overcome our fears, we create new possibilities. We may discover new passions, meet new people, or find new ways of living that we never imagined before.

4. Choosing action over fear is empowering.

When we take control of our fears, we take control of our lives. We become the masters of our own destiny, rather than passive passengers in our own lives. This sense of empowerment can be life-changing, giving us the courage to pursue our dreams and create the life we want. Taking action can come in many forms, sometimes it's in seeking help in the form of a therapist, if healing is needed, or a coach if you have dreams and goals you want help in attaining.

Action takes will, over coming fear takes will, creating takes will. By reassigning the power previously given over to fear to what we want in our lives - we take back control of our destiny. That requires us to take action DESPITE how it 'feels' to go for something we want. The more we deny what we want by not taking action, thereby giving that power to our fears, the bigger and stronger they become. Our end results depend on the action we take towards them, not just by having those end results. Just by having a goal or vision in mind will automatically trigger the unconscious agenda of avoiding what we fear - and that takes will to overcome and still take action toward that goal.

Fear is a natural part of life, it can even serve us in situations where our safety is actually at risk, but left uncontrolled it will control us and keep us playing small. All of our big dreams and aspirations will be put aside in favour of the 'safe route', making life feel limited and unfulfilling. But fear does not have to control us - we can take back that power and put it into our visions instead. By acknowledging our fears and using our will to take the action to overcome them, we can build our confidence, expand our comfort zone, open up new possibilities, and feel empowered to create the life we would love. So don't let fear hold you back. Take action today and see how it can transform your life.
