Making friends with fear sounds ridiculous at best, but hear me out. Fear is not your enemy! The important factor is how you react to fear. As much as we don’t want to feel the uncomfortable feeling because it makes us feel vulnerable when we are trying to be invincible, the feeling of fear is natural and an important part of the human experience.
Fear is a warning that we could be in potential danger, and when we are faced with moving in a direction that challenges our norms, it most definitely feels like danger.
Trust me, I am no stranger to fear. I do, however, have a pretty healthy relationship with it. We are not best friends, but we do hang out on occasion. In my November 2023 Blog, Fear The Fear and Do It Anyway, I share my run-in with fear and why you must put on your big girl pants, look fear in the eye, and keep on moving.
So, make fear your new buddy for an incredible adventure in personal growth! Here's why be-friending your fears can be a game-changer:
Overcoming Limitations: By facing your fears head-on, you can challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone and push your boundaries. This can lead to personal growth and help you realize your full potential.
Building Resilience: Confronting your fears can help you build resilience and develop coping mechanisms for dealing with difficult situations. Over time, you may find that you are better equipped to handle challenges and setbacks.
Increased Self-Awareness: Understanding your fears can provide valuable insights into your own thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. By acknowledging and examining your fears, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your motivations.
Opportunities for Growth: Fear can signal areas in your life where growth and change are needed. By befriending your fears, you can transform them into opportunities for personal and professional development.
Improved Decision-Making: Making friends with fear can help you make more informed decisions by clarifying what truly matters to you. By recognizing and understanding your fears, you can make choices that are aligned with your values and goals.
Enhanced Creativity and Innovation: Embracing fear can spark creativity and innovation by challenging you to think outside the box and explore new possibilities. By confronting your fears, you may discover new ways of approaching problems and generating innovative solutions.
