Write about it in your journal. If you want to, doodle at the bottom of the page things that will keep you encouraged. Don't put stock on anything your fears tell you. Fear is a lying thing!

Don't Feed Your Fears!

 


Let's assume you have a special dream you're working towards. Let's say that fears and insecurities are bullying you into paralysis and you're scared to go forward and you don't want to go backward.
So what do you do?
Be honest with yourself, are you feeding your fears with unreasonable concerns that you repeat over and over to yourself?
Why would you do that? Why would you sabotage your own progress toward a dream come true?
Why would you barricade your hard work behind a defensive blockade of unreasonable fears and insecurities? Are you professionally stuck due to fear of failure? Let's talk about it!

What are your biggest fears when it comes to your professional life? Write them down and explore them in detail. Be honest about them. Talk clearly to yourself. 

How have your fears held you back in the past? What opportunities have you missed out on because of them? Do you have regret deep down inside that is eating at you right now?

What would you do if you weren't afraid of failing? Write about your dream job or project or accomplishment without any limitations. Write without thinking about complete anxiety or getting over your head if you ever went for it all the way.
