This week in my Clubhouse room – How To Successfully Manifest What’s On Your Vision Board, the topic of fear came up.
Is fear holding you back from achieving your goals?
If so, let’s deal with it so you can push through and get back to manifesting your desires!
Acknowledge The Fear
First step is to acknowledge it instead of ignoring it or waiting for it to pass. That may neve rhappen! When you become aware of something you can start to make changes.
Journal On It!
When the topics of fear of failure, perfectionism, judgement and not putting yourself out there come up the first thing I would suggest is to head to that journal and start writing. The first step is always about MINDSET!
Identify The Fear
What are you fearful of?
- Fear of failure?
- Fear of success?
- Fear of not being good enough?
- Fear of what people will say about you?
What’s the worst thing that could happen?
We usually make these things way bigger in our head than if we got it out on paper and read it back to ourselves. When it’s written out it’s much easier to look at it objectively and deal with it.
Here’s an example – when I first started Clubhouse I wanted to host a room but I was afraid no one would come. I was new and had no idea what to do.
Should I do more research?
Ask someone to co-mod with me?
I finally got out of my own way (while still feeling the fear) and started my own room. Guess what – NO ONE CAME! I waited about 5-7 minutes and finally closed the room. My biggest fear around that situation happened and I survived and I’m still here to talk about it! Now it’s a funny story and I LEARNED what to do better next time. SInce then I’ve been hosting multiple rooms a week. Ya gotta start somewhere!
I love how Sara Blakely from Spanx reframes failure. When she was growing up she said her father told them that failure means NOT TRYING. Everything else is a LEARNING LESSON.
Bottom line – feel the fear and do it anyway but get clear on what it is by journaling on it.
I spoke about it more in depth on Instagram this week. You can watch and listen here.
If this was helpful and you’d like to take it a step further you can either join me on Mondays at 10AM EST on Clubhouse or sign up for my Visualize To Materialize workshop/coaching session.
