It is magnificent to take action now and win because there is no reward for fear. People often ask me how I get the courage to take action now and keep moving even when things are hard. I tell them it is because I am I church girl, through and through. My faith as a Christian woman is inseparable from who I am as a person. I hang my hat on the following quote from the King James version of the Bible:
This passage reminds me always that I do not have to be afraid to try things, to grow and to succeed. I have been endowed with great and wonderful characteristics that outweigh fear and guarantee that in the end, I will succeed. If fear is keeping you from taking action now and succeeding, be encouraged, there is help and there is hope. If you are afraid to take action now, try one of the following methods to overcome your fear and act.
1. Make a Chart of Pros and Cons
2. Ignore the Fear and Push Forward
3. Make a List of the Best and Worse Possible Outcomes
4. Start A Journal of Times You Faced Fear and Won
5. Recruit a Friend to be Your Cheerleader
Great post! I think people who push past their fears and move forward are heroes. I think the biggest thing to conquering fear is to replace negative thoughts with positive ones like I am smart. I have a lot to offer the world, and I have everything to gain and nothing to lose by moving forward. I love how you emphasize “Take Action Now.” Also good for you for acting on your faith in GOD and sharing that with the world.
This is great! I know that I have a few ‘select’ friends who I can count on to be that cheer section when I need it the most.
Great post. I tell my clients often that fear increases critical thinking skills. You can either sit in it and let it control you or you get busy strategizing on how to use an uncontrollable emotion to do amazing things!
Vision boards are a great tool. When you can visualize a thing you can achieve it and that is a wonderful thing.
Great food for thought. I still need to get around to my vision board.
These are great tips! I think it’s super helpful to have a supportive friend on your side. This year I also made a vision board and put everything that I want to happen on there which I find was helpful. http://www.the-blisslist.com
