3 Things You MUST Know to Overcome Fear

Steve — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:00:29 +0000

Sometimes we don’t recognize fear for what it really is. We give it other disguises and names like self-sabotage, procrastination or just being plain lazy. But if you dig deeper to those dark layers we all have, you realize that your resistance is based in fear.

To overcome your fear you’ve got to start by recognizing fear for what it really is.

#1. Recognize What Fear Is and Is Not

Realize that there is only one moment and that moment is n-o-w. If you really take the time to dissect and look at your fear, you’ll see something completely obvious. Fear is not something that is happening now, it’s something that you’ve predicted to happen in the future. Here’s a quick excerpt I picked up from the definition of fear in Wikipedia:

“Fear always relates to future events, such as worsening of a situation, or continuation of a situation that is unacceptable.”

You could say that fear is how you feel (emotionally) about something that hasn’t even happened yet. Isn’t that interesting? It’s not something that is happening n-o-w, but something you expect to happen. And that expectation builds the feeling of fear.

Now I wouldn’t put all fears in this category. If you’re in the North American Rockies and you run into a grizzly bear, you’d be afraid. I’d be afraid too. You didn’t make up the grizzly bear in your head, it’s sitting right there in front of you.

But back to my point. There is only one of two places your fear can come from: either internal memories or external images in the n-o-w. I’d say 99% of those images are self created, internal images.

#2. Are you proactive or re-active?

The neighbors dog always barks at the mail man. He’s been doing that for the past two years. The problem is that the neighbors dog is a huge German Sheppard so half the neighborhood can hear him.

What’s really interesting is that this German Sheppard is a real big babe. You’d think he was all tough the way he barks behind that fence, but my experience tells me another story.

Just the other day something really interesting happened. I was outside and I heard him barking behind the fence. He couldn’t see me and I couldn’t see him. I’m not quite sure, but I thought maybe he heard me or smelt me and that set off his barking. But still, this dog knows me very well so it was odd to hear him barking at me.

A few minutes later the neighbor let him out and as soon as the German Sheppard saw me - he stopped barking. As I saw him calm down I went up to see him. His eyes were are glazed over like he just saw a ghost. Poor guy, I wonder what sort of pictures he was putting in his head? Something scared the beejeezus out of him - and obviously, it wasn’t me.

But we do the same thing, don’t we?

We think of an unlikely future situation, something that hasn’t even happened yet; and then we play it over and over again in our minds, scaring overselves silly.

You could just as easily play a funny image over and over again and make yourself laugh hysterically, could you not?

Have you ever felt totally beat up and out of control?

It’s an important technique that I haven’t seen anywhere else on the web. And the best part is that you can use it over and over again once you “get it.” Here’s the video:

How to Stop Negative Thoughts and That “Little Voice” In Your Head

Steve — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:00:46 +0000

Have you ever started a new project? A project where you were really excited and the people in your life could sense your enthusiasm?

You were completely inspired and motivated. Things couldn’t be better - you felt like this was what you were meant to be doing.

Then “WHAM-O,” you hit a brick wall. Something you didn’t expect.

Maybe you had an argument with someone special in your life or you just had a bad day, and for some reason that set everything off course.

Then as you thought of ways to get back on track - to get things going again, you heard that little voice in your head say, “Maybe you shouldn’t be doing this. Maybe this is a sign.”

And the more you listened to that little voice, the more you began to believe it - maybe the voice is right!

Know what I mean?

One of the biggest personal challenges I’ve had to face in almost everything I’ve accomplished from becoming a coach, keeping my blog going and even proposing to my wife - has been to effectively wash out that little voice, so that I could do what I thought was right for me.

If there is one obstacle that is a dream killer, it’s that little voice. It can take your big dreams and crush them…. unless you know the right technique to overcome these negative thoughts quickly.

This very powerful technique is something you won’t find anywhere else. It’s something I’ve been using for quite a while with great success.

Why Affirmations Don’t Work

Steve — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:00:28 +0000

95% of people DO NOT know this secret

If you have tried affirmations without success then you’ll want to know WHY.

It’s no secret really. You just have to understand how thoughts manifest themselves. If you want a new thought in the form of an affirmation or visualization to stick, then it must include these 3 specific elements. These elements were written about in Maxwell Malt’s 40-year classic, Psycho-Cybernetics.

In Maltz’s book he says,

“The reason it (a thought) would remain with us rather than just bounce off like water off a duck’s back is what I view as self-image imprinting. This is most controlled by three factors: authoritative source, intensity and repetition.”

It makes sense that an affirmation that is intense and repeated often enough will begin to manifest, right?

Not exactly. If you stick with the repetition alone then you have a less than 30% chance of getting affirmations to work for you.

Let me explain.

Your Internal Sequence

The most important part of affirmations is that you get the feeling - the vibration. If you affirm the words, “I am abundant,” and you don’t feel those words, the vibe of them - then you’re wasting your time. It’s not going to elicit the Law of Attraction in your favor.

Part of the reason that affirmations don’t work is because of poor training and exercises. For example: how many times have you done sit ups and gotten a six pack?

The exercises are important, but what’s even more important is the training on how to do those exercises.

The reason that most people don’t “get” affirmations is because they don’t understand their own neurology. They don’t understand how their brain works.

You see your brain fires off thoughts in sequences. And if you fire the right sequence then you trigger the right emotions. And since the whole purpose of an affirmation is to trigger the way you feel, it’s absolutely critical you know your strategy - the sequence of auditory, visual and kinesthetic experiences that puts you into an emotional state.
