When I was little, there was a clown in the computer room that disturbed me to no end and wouldn’t let me enjoy myself because I always felt like he was looking at me 😅.
Â
Most of the time, our greatest fears are like that clown, simply distractions that keep us from focusing on what really matters.
Â
It is easy to get caught in the cycle of constant fear, worry, anxiety and anguish, thinking about the worst possible scenarios, the most dramatic ones, not being able to sleep at night and doubting ourselves.
Â
How many times have you spent hours worrying about a “terrible” thing that never happened? In the meantime, you could have been spending that time and energy enjoying yourself or doing something more productive or positive.
Â
It is not about ignoring fear, as I have written in publications, fear is something necessary, the key is to distinguish between realistic and improbable fears…
👇 Tip of the Day 👇
- Learn to differentiate your fears.
When you feel fear take hold, stop, take a deep breath, become the observer of the situation and ask yourself, “Is this fear based in reality or just my imagination? What can I do to proactively address this fear?”.
Â
It is not worth letting improbable fears control you, always ask yourself if what is generating fear and anxiety is really that important; and if it really is, define the necessary steps to face it in the most proactive way possible.
