Once you face a personal fear, how do you turn it around? How do you work towards transforming it and growing from it?
Let's go through an example. Let's say that you fear failure. First face your fear by asking yourself the following questions (if you can't come up with answers right away:
1) Think of your life...how often have you succeeded in your life and how often have you failed? Odds are that you have had far more successes than failures.
2) What is the worst that could happen if you failed? Really, face your worst case scenario. What is it?
3) What would happen if you fully succeeded?
4) Who is setting the standards of success? Check in first with your mind and then with your heart. How do they compare?
5) How will your life change would you succeed/fail?
6) Can you think of any alternative solutions to your fear?
After answering these questions work on creating an affirmation for yourself (check earlier blog post on how to do this) based on your findings. Keep it short and simple. For example: "I trust in myself." or "Everyday I do the best I can." or "I embrace my path however it unfolds."
Keep this affirmation close to your heart and repeat it to yourself daily. All of this will help your healing.
