Embracing Fear Without Being Flattened By It

embracing fear

Listen to the full podcast episode to learn how to embrace the fear and open yourself up to the best that life has to offer.

My daughter just returned home after her first year of college. When we first dropped her off, there was so much uncertainty, insecurity, hesitation, and fear. Now, nine months later, she’s returned home happy and fulfilled by her experience – even saying she will miss college this summer.

The reason I share this is that nine months ago when we dropped her off, I would never have expected that reaction. That she would have chosen to embrace the fear and open herself up to the full experience. This really got me thinking about fear and how much our attachment to certainty and getting it right can limit us from having deeply satisfying and rewarding experiences.

How easy is it to not want to move forward to embrace the fear and instead clutch onto what we already know?

Here I was seeing through my daughter exactly what happens when we face fear, embrace fear, and ultimately overcome fear. What if she hadn’t been brave? What if she hadn’t faced her fear?  What would she have missed? 

Early on, in my work with men and women, I started to see some very clear patterns in the ways talented individuals were stalling on their way to their goals and desires. 

Oftentimes, their attempts to avoid situations that might be uncertain were unconsciously disguised by being busy, over-preparing, or refining their work. In short, they were hesitating because of their fear.

Ultimately, it became impossible to innovate, share controversial ideas or effect the change they wanted. 

But something profoundly human and magical happens when fear is exposed and the root cause is addressed. When we simply acknowledge that this is fear, I’m afraid, and that I’m going to do it anyway, fear’s power is diminished and this is what it truly means to embrace the fear.

Here’s what you need to remember: You are never going to eliminate fear. But you can be curious about it,  acknowledge it, and have a go-to process to embrace the fear and move through it instead of being flattened by fear. 

Bottom line: Without facing fear, your success is impossible.

Even top achievers are afraid.

Warren Buffet was terrified of speaking in public.

Joanna Gaines couldn’t choose a paint color on her first episode of Fixer Upper and felt like an imposter.

Singer, Adele, was known for getting sick before performing live.

These are successful, ambitious, capable people who admit to still being afraid but face the fear and do it anyway.   

The good news: you can change your relationship to fear and allow this to be the end of avoiding situations that might bring it.

Tune in to this episode of Playing Full Out to learn the process of embracing fear and creating your most satisfying and rewarding present and future. 

 

In this episode I share:

  • How attachment to certainty and getting it right is showing up in your life right now
  • Two practical tools you can use day to day so that you can move beyond fear strategically and not go on an emotional roller coaster
  • Life-changing moments for me that were full of fear and uncertainty 
  • How to find evidence of the direct connection between your life’s best moments so far and facing your fears

Five Strategies To Position You For A Breakthrough

breakthrough

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear the 5 strategies to position you for a breakthrough:

As we enter the excitement of a new year, you’re likely flooded with messages about creating another set of goals or resolutions. Personally, I don’t feel like the calendar has to change in order to feel and see a fresh start. Every single day is a new beginning and a chance to start anew. As passionate as I am about being able to push the reset button anytime, this new year, without a doubt, adds a greater feeling of excitement!

While many use the word “goal”, that term has always felt lifeless and one-dimensional to me. Instead, I prefer the word “breakthrough”. It has much more emotion and feeling. A breakthrough occurs when you unlock your limitations and the once-impossible becomes possible. Getting clear on what a breakthrough outcome would look like for you is particularly important at this time.

This year is already proving to be a year of well-earned and well-deserved breakthroughs. So many have been welled up mentally, emotionally, professionally, and personally. We are ready to bust through the internal and external limitations that have kept us playing small and holding back. Some have already let the dam burst. Others are committing and positioning themselves currently.

To begin your breakthrough, you must first identify and make the declaration of the breakthrough you want to experience this year. Maybe the breakthrough that you want is to have a greater balance between work and home, maybe it’s to do less and enjoy more, or maybe it’s a breakthrough to experience a promotion. The great thing about your breakthroughs is that they have a ripple effect that heals and catapults our workplaces, homes, and the world. When you break through your limitations, not only you but your family and those you work with, and those you serve are set in motion to experience their breakthrough too. That’s compelling, right?

I’m going to share specific and practical strategies with you so that you can lean in, let go, trust yourself, and take your next right action. It’s a year of unlimited possibility. It’s your time to unlock and breakthrough anything that’s been holding you back. When you do you will see your transformation occur in every category of your life naturally and automatically.

In this episode I share:

  • An explanation of why you must first identify the breakthrough that you want to experience before taking action
  • A way to condition our nervous system in advance to allow for the breakthrough 
  • Common ways that we tend to block our breakthroughs from occurring
  • 5 simple strategies to be positioned for a breakthrough this year
  • A strategy to move from negative thoughts into joy and inspiration 
  • A reminder of why play is important to productivity

Rethink And Unlearn Faster So You Can Reinvent

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

We all have moments that have changed our life in one way or another. When I look back on some of these moments for myself, these changes have occurred for one reason. It has been due to my willingness to rethink the way I was thinking rather than hanging onto previous beliefs simply because that was what was comfortable. If you’re like most, when you look back at your life, I bet you’d see that the most significant moments came from thinking about things differently. So today I want to challenge you to think about how you are looking at situations and assumptions in your life.

This episode is your invitation to challenge and let go of assumptions and opinions that are no longer serving you well, causing you to stagnate or struggle. Challenge what you believe is fact, even when it is uncomfortable to do so. To learn and grow, our perspectives must evolve as well. One cannot be without the other. Master the art of rethinking your assumptions and you will position yourself for years of success and happiness to come.

In this episode I share:

  • Stories of how shifting your thinking can pay off and even save your life
  • The first time I learned that it was possible to unlearn what you previously thought was true
  • The significant benefits of unlearning things in order to reinvent yourself
