Walking Through Fear to Freedom

Leave a Comment

It’s funny the mental games that we play….

I’ve noticed both in myself and in my coaching clients that sometimes we mask fear with some very social acceptable explanationcouple-walking-Elizabeth-Grace-Saunderss.

For example, many people will tell themselves that they don’t follow up with people because they “don’t want to be rude,” but the underlying reason that they’re not following up in a reasonable way is that they’re afraid of rejection.

Others don’t send status updates because they “don’t want to bother” their managers, but the real sticking point is that they’re afraid they’ll get feedback that they’re off track. (Which is in fact invaluable knowledge to make sure that they’re aligned with their boss!)

Finally, others won’t every say, “No,” or let someone know when a request is unreasonable because they’re “committed to doing whatever it takes,” but really they are afraid that not being able to do everything means that there’s something wrong with them.

Take a moment and reflect on some of your actions and what you’ve been telling yourself about them.

Do any of the above sound familiar?

If so, the way through is to acknowledge the real fear, i.e. I’m afraid of rejection, and then to rationally talk yourself through how likely it is for the fear to come true. Often times when you address the true issue, you realize that it had more to do with the thoughts in your head than with the reality around you. Then, you’re free to move forward with the right actions which will allow you to live a peaceful, effective, and productive life.
