3 Ways How to Look Your Fear in the Eye and Scare the Heck Out of It
“When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation. It empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams.” Les Brown
Every day, people all around the world try to figure out how to avoid fear, overcome fear, deal with it as best as possible. We see it as something bad and scary which requires our energy to deal with. But, have you ever thought about how to handle your fear and not let it affects your mindset?
If you ask any successful person out there, all of them tell you one thing and that you can train your mind to face your fears and master it. It depends on what you think your fear represents. I bet you have experienced being fearless in the past which gave you a different perspective and showed you that you could do it, you can fight it.
It is natural to all of us to get scared at some point. The difference is how you decide to deal with a fear and how you let it impacts your life. Here are 3 ways how to scare the heck out of your fear and build up your courageous self.
1# What can you lose?
Think of everything your fear can take away from you if you don’t act upon it. What dreams or goals can die if you don’t face what scares you? How much damage can you cause to yourself if you become fearful? Don’t forget that fear is a mind game where you can win if you choose to.
The fear of losing is a great motivator for many people. If this is something that can boost up your courage, use it. I don’t want to encourage you to live in the pain of loss, but how many times you’ve lived in fear of change or unknown? Spend your energy where is worth it.
2# See your future
The opposite of being scared of lost is to see what you can gain. Find something very personal, a thing which maybe only you can understand. It will hold you not only against the fear but also motivates you during hardships and temporary defeat.
Visualize what you want and put your entire body into that vibration. Use all of your senses to feel your future now. How does it feel to live your dream? How does it feel to become fearless and unstoppable?
3# Stand your ground
Made a decision that you will not let fear stop you anymore. Your decision must be as firm as a rock, and it must be logical. Try this out. Remember the last time you acted with courage. Then take this moment and use it as an example of your future accomplishments. If you were able to do it back then, why it should be a problem now or in the future?
Once you have decided and you know where you stand, repeat it over and over and over. Convince your subconscious mind that nothing will stop you from growing and building what actually matters. Don’t get me wrong; you will get scared, we all do. The important thing is to know that this isn’t acceptable anymore. Act with a mindset of a courageous person and kick your fear’s ass.

wow! You struck the chord, you hit the point.
Many times fear has restricted me from carrying out certain project, particularly Fear of the Unknown i was always scared of what could go wrong, releasing negative vibrations and attracting negative realities.
I changed my ideology and start winning, I love this.
Heck yeah. I know the fear of unknown very well so I can totally relate to what you are saying. It's the unknown what scares us. We are afraid that if we take a step, the change will be worse than what we presently have. It's very common but I think that once we aren't happy where we are, it is worth taking a risk.
