How To Take Fear Out Of Your Life And Reach Your Goals Faster - By: Wayne Wu

Fear is a powerful negative emotion that will challenge all of us. It will afftct some more than others. Fear can paralyse us. Fear will control us if don't learn to keep it under control.

Fear is a instinct we are born with, and that's supposed to be a good thing. We come wired with two fear mechanisms. One makes us act very quickly without thinking. The other is designed to make us think before we act.

We have not changed much biology in millions of years, but our environment has completely changed. A long, long time ago we were living amongst our own predators. Our "fight or flight" mechanisms would have been much more active as we were living amongst predators.

Today, we rarely experience "fight or flight" situations anymore, but the fear mechanism that gives us this adrenalin rush is still waiting to be triggered. Sometimes people will look for situations where they can experience fight or flight. They do things like bungee jumping, sky diving, extreme sports, taking drugs, being promiscuous.

Most people don't have such dangerous hobbies, so for them there's always a low level "think before acting" fear that hovers in the background. It compensates for the "act before thinking" fear.

People are afraid to leave their house in extreme cases. Some have literally never left their house in years because of an irrational fear.

However for most people, this background fear fosters negative feelings such as anxiety, depression, lack of self confidence and self worth, and it prevents us from taking the actions that will get us closer to our goals.

If we don't control or "manage" this fear, it will control us. It's impossible to achieve our dreams if we don't. The lack of courage causes us to be indifferent and remain in our comfort zones. And you know exactly where that road leads.

You can begin to control fear by being conscious of it when it arises. Just being aware that you're feeling fear will diminish its intensity significantly. For example, I still get nervous when I'm calling prospects for the first time, but as soon as I become conscious of it, my anxiety level drops.

A great way to deal with fear is this: Whatever you are fearing is almost certainly not happening right now.

One of the best acronyms I've heard for fear is:

False
Expectations
Appearing
Real

Taking negativity out of your life can greatly help you control fear. You can do this straight away by switching off the news, which is full of negative stories.

Think about the reason why you're pursuing success. Visualise yourself in to moment your dreams become real.
