Do you want to learn how to get rid of fear and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/marketing-risks\/\">stop playing it safe<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our whole lives, we&#8217;re taught to fear what hasn&#8217;t happened yet.

Fear is always there, surrounding us, ready to pounce and stop us from taking chances, but <strong>we can choose whether we\u2019ll engage with it or get rid of fear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear has become a habit, instilled in childhood. We\u2019re taught to fear the world and play it safe, cautioning everyone around us. We\u2019re so conditioned to do this that when others share their excitement over their big, brave plans \u2014 I\u2019m traveling around the world by myself! I\u2019m quitting my job to become an actor! \u2014 we answer with fear, caution and alarm. This is akin to something called the \u201ccrab effect.\u201d When a bunch of crabs are in a bowl and one tries to climb out, the rest will try to pull him back down instead of helping him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our world would be very different if, instead of being taught to fear, we were taught to get rid of fear and believe in miracles \u2014 that anything is possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main drawback of fear is that it lives in the future: what we\u2019re afraid of hasn\u2019t happened yet. We have no idea if what we fear will actually <em>ever<\/em> happen. For example, we\u2019re often fearful of death, but for all we know it could be a state of pure love and light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fighting fear requires becoming comfortable with the unknown, which is also known as faith. <strong>When your faith is greater than your fear of the unknown, you can get rid of fear find freedom instead.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for Navigating Your Way Through Fear<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Look to the past<\/strong>. Think about something in your past you were afraid of. How do you feel about it now? Does it even give you a twinge of fear anymore? When you face your next challenge, remember that no matter how big it feels now, someday it will seem insignificant. Envision your current challenge from the future \u2014 from a place of victory \u2014 and it will lose much of its power to terrify you.<\/li><li><strong>Try a different perspective<\/strong>. When you can&#8217;t get rid of fear, try looking at it from a different point of view. Break it down and pinpoint what you\u2019re really afraid of, and then flip it around to make it work for you. For example, say you want to write a book but you can\u2019t get started. Ask yourself why. The answer could be, \u201cI\u2019m scared it will be awful.\u201d So what happens if it\u2019s awful? \u201cI&#8217;ll be ashamed.\u201d So basically, you\u2019re not writing a book to protect yourself from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/feeling-ashamed\/\">feeling ashamed<\/a> and stupid. Then flip this around. How stupid and ashamed will you be if you <em>don\u2019t<\/em> write your book? Very! By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-change-your-perspective\/\">changing your perspective<\/a>, you can use the fear of <em>not<\/em> doing the thing you&#8217;re scared of as fuel.<\/li><li><strong>Be in the moment<\/strong>: Right now, is anything scary happening? Or are thoughts in your head freaking you out? Being afraid before something happens depletes your energy. Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-stay-in-the-moment\/\">stay in the moment<\/a> and connect to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/connecting-with-your-higher-self\/\">your higher self<\/a>. In the moments before you step into something scary \u2014 asking for a promotion, jumping out of a plane \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/raise-your-frequency\/\">connect to Source Energy<\/a>; keep your frequency high and your belief in miracles strong. You\u2019ll find you\u2019re better equipped to deal with the situation and realize it&#8217;s scarier in your mind than in reality.<\/li><li><strong>Limit the negative input you receive<\/strong>. The bad news you read and watch builds into your fear. But wallowing in the pain and suffering of others isn\u2019t helping anyone. If you really want to help the world, keep your frequency high and do your work from a place of power and joy.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t think about upsetting things in bed at night<\/strong>. Our fears feel greatly magnified at 3 am. But there\u2019s nothing you can do about it. Instead, don&#8217;t waste precious time thinking about your problems \u2014 there\u2019s nothing you can do about them at that point, and inevitably the next morning they don\u2019t seem as scary. Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-meditation-mindfulness\/\">meditation<\/a> to banish troubling thoughts. Focus on relaxing your body one muscle at a time. Do whatever you can to get a good night\u2019s sleep \u2014 because being exhausted the next day won\u2019t help you solve your problems.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you letting fear hold you back from breaking out of your comfort zone?
