A Simple Formula For Overcoming Fear and Worry

HomeVital EdgeA Simple Formula For Overcoming Fear and Worry

Do you have the courage and strength overcoming fear and worry? If you ask most people why they have not achieved their goals or the level of success they desire, they will usually respond with some built-in excuse or negative belief that is holding them back.

How to overcome worry?

Underlying this excuse or negative belief is usually a fear or worry. 

How many times have you attempted something new, only to stop before you ever got started because you were afraid of what others may think?

Or you don’t think you have the time or money or both?  Or because you believe are inexperienced or lack the knowledge to succeed?

Someone once defined F.E.A.R. as False Evidence Appearing Real, which means we have chosen to believe in something that is not really true.

But because it is our belief, it is our reality.

Worry is nothing more than a sustained fear caused by indecision. Sometimes we need to ask some tough questions to determine the cause of these worries or fears.

Once the fear is identified, a simple formula can be used to overcome that fear.

The first step is to clearly define what you are afraid of or worried about.  Write in down.  Put in on paper.

Half of your worries and fears will be solved the instant you can define them clearly by putting them on paper.

For the other half, you need to move on to step two.  Ask yourself, what is the worst possible thing that can happen if this fear or worry becomes true?

Make a list, yes, write it down on paper underneath your clearly defined worry.  Keep writing down everything that comes to mind until you have identified the worst possible outcome.  Do you realize that 90% of what we worry about never happens?

Think about how much time you spend on worrying about stuff that never will happen.  This list will help you see that.

Once you have completed your list, resolve in your mind that you will accept the worst possible thing that can happen.  Since 90% of those things will never occur and generally the other 10% will not kill you, realize you will survive.

Accept the worst possible thing by telling yourself, I can handle it, over and over again.  This will start to turn things around.

Finally, begin now to make sure the worst never happens.  Put together an action plan of exactly what you need to do to turn things around.

By focusing on positive changes and implementing your action plan, your focus will shift to the positive outcomes and away from your fears.

You will begin to feel better because now you can DO SOMETHING!  Positive action is the only cure for fear and worry.

Try this formula today and see if it will work for you.  It has worked for me.

To Your Success!
