Your fears can be your best allies if do this:
Your fears are the opportunity to overcome yourself every day.
Why is it that we paralyze ourselves before the unknown? Why do we simply not understand that the best we can do is follow our hearts and put aside that feeling that in many occasions becomes the winner?
I have seen people let go of their greatest goals for fear of achieving them, even though that same fear did not allow them to even try.
I must say that I have been one of those people who out of fear have self-sabotaged their lives and I must also confess that sometimes I continue to do so, however, I am working to make self-sabotage something of my past, because I have witnessed the harsh consequences that are paid for allowing my fears to grow to the point that they have become a chronic anxiety, and it is precisely for them that we must take the power from our fears, that all they do is take the helm of our lives, clouding our reality and making our daily lives a river of errors that are not understandable from a logical and professional point of view (speaking from a psychological/psychiatric field); and it is understandable, because anxiety makes us feel A feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.
Yes, you can
Here I share what has worked for me, and remember: You can make your lives a space in which you love to breathe and in which fear is not the reason why you give up your most longing for a space in which you love to breathe. and in which fear is not the reason why you renounce your most desired goals.
“Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.”
— Japanese Proverb
Embrace the fear that floods your soul
We must start by accepting our fear, and not only that, but we must also work to find where that feeling comes from that consciously unconsciously is and has been in us, and after that, it is important to recognize that it will always live with us, however, it is even more important to work every day not to make it bigger, and in case that is bigger, our goals and commitment must much bigger than what they are, because that is the best way to make of our fears our friend and allies.
Make them your allies
Yes, I said it correctly, our friend. Let me tell you that I understand that you are afraid, you have your reasons, fear is an emotion of survival and therefore we feel it, remember also that without fear no genius of humanity would have done something in his life, and do you think that Bill Gates has never been afraid? On the contrary, he has felt it, he has lived it and he has overcome it, and that is why today he is the richest man in the world.
I invite you to befriend your fear through your commitment and discipline, and I assure you that when that happens another fear will come to you, with the pure intention of making you stronger, bigger, braver, more capable.
Take the risk
Every time there is a question about a new project, a relationship or an adventure that makes you happy, I want you to dare.
Dare to love that person who makes you feel loved and out of your comfort zone. Dare to take that plane and go enjoy that new adventure that has great teachings for you; but above all, dare to be happy with who you are and with what you have.
To finish, I leave you a reminder: Respect your emotions, love yourself above all things and say yes to fear, because that fear is the sign that you are alive.
Thanks for reading me.
