Do you think too much? It can be good for your future, but the chances are you are spending too much time in thinking. Some times, lack of initiative will prevent you from becoming an achiever. The reason behind excessive thinking can be your fears. Your fears might be stopping you from doing things. In fact they may be forcing you into a ‘thinking trap’. You need to get out of this trap. Procrastination will only lead to the loss of opportunities. New opportunities don’t enter into our life every day. Therefore, don’t just get stuck! Handle your fears by reassuring yourself, that your fears are the product of your negative thoughts. You do not need to restrict yourself based on something that has not occurred. For instance, if you want to start a new electronics business then you shouldn’t hold your self back due to the fear of losses.

Fear is a negative force that that restricts you from excelling in your life. You don’t want to try out new things simply because you are afraid. However, you must over come this fear barrier. Think of the time you didn’t go after that promotion because you feared you were not good enough. Due to fear we restrain ourselves from achieving things in our life. It denies us the happiness and success that we deserve. It keeps us from achieving our goals.

You can treat your fear with curiosity. Simply ask yourself why you are afraid? Effective use of curiosity will bring many wonderful changes inside you. You will be simply inspired to explore new subjects when you are curious. Therefore, make conscious use of curiosity to resolve your fears and improve your learning experience. Sometimes, our knowledge is too much restricted about a subject. This is because we have only learnt few facts about the whole situation. Curiosity plays an important role by forcing us to look further in to the topic and discover the bigger picture. Once you have a holistic view of the situation chances are you won’t have anything to fear. Smaller problems and setbacks will not worry you since, you have a complete idea of what you are doing and will plan for alternatives.

Face your fears with knowledgeable insights. Once you understand the reason behind your fear, they can simply vanish. Therefore, develop a habit for learning. In this way you can increase your knowledge benefiting yourself from the increased awareness. A person with little information on a subject can easily get stuck, however a person with wealth of information can find ways to solve his or her problems. So, never hold yourself from asking questions. Ask a question whenever you feel like, it is going to ensure that you learn new things as you grow old and wise. Remember, learning is also about making mistakes. You can’t learn without doing something wrong. So don’t be afraid of committing mistakes as fear will only stop you from progressing in your life. In fact take a bold step and start your new undertaking. By taking one step a time, you can ensure your long term survival and success. Fears are the chains and shackles that can hold you back. You have to break yourself free of the restrictive thinking to conquer your fears. In fact, it just takes a moment to defeat your most dreaded fears.

4 Powerful Personal Development Questions That Eliminate Fear

Is fear holding you back from achieving your dreams? Do you hesitate when you have the chance to move forward in life because you are paralysed by your own imagination - thinking of all the terrible things that could happen?

Have you ever been in a situation where you were prepared for the worst to happen? Your mind ran wild with terrible imaginings and you were literally paralysed by fear! Then the event actually occurred! Yet when you eventually passed through the actual experience you realised that the fear you had was much worse than the actual event!

Most of us have had such experiences.

On the other hand have you ever feared the worst and it didn’t happen?

In both the above situations you probably worked yourself into a frenzy in anticipation of this terrible thing that was about to happen only to find out later that your fears were unfounded. Your fears were worse than the eventual experience.

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” Franklin D. Roosevelt 1933.

So what is fear and how do we defeat it?

Well fear occurs when you allow your negative programming to influence your thinking. It rears its ugly head when you find yourself out of your comfort zone! It is the unknown outcome that produces fear in any situation and the collection of many thoughts that direct your consciousness to the worst possible scenario.

Fear is false!

If you look closely at your fears you will find that the great majority of them never come to pass and those that do are not as bad as you expected them to be.

The key to conquering fear lies in your thinking and questioning. In future when you are confronted with a fear you should stop for a moment and take a very deep breath. Breathing deeply relaxes the body and removes the tension that the fear is creating in your body. Then look closely at the way you have just been thinking. You will find that your mind was filled with the worst possible images connected to your fear.

Reverse the thoughts! Begin by questioning the fear. Use the following four questions to paralyse the fear!

1. Is this fear really based on anything that is true?

2. If the fear were to become reality would the experience really be as bad as you have been thinking it would be?

3. Is it possible that you may actually gain something from experiencing the feared event?

This last question may sound like a strange thing to ask yourself but there is a two-fold reason for asking it. Firstly, any thought in a different direction breaks the runaway train of negative fearful thought! Secondly, it forces you to look at the fear from a different perspective and neutralizes its power.

4. Is it possible that if I change my thinking now I can actually create what I want instead of being fearful?

When we change how we think we change how we act. Many people actually bring about their fears because they are constantly thinking about them. By focusing on your fears you tend to act in ways that are connected to the fears and thus you unconsciously create the feared event. An example would be a person who fears they will lose their partner. They therefore try to control them in every way in order to ensure the person will never leave them. I am sure you can see that this behaviour will actually push the person away. Yet to them they are ensuring they keep the person! We all act like this everyday with our fears.

Likewise, when we hold in mind the expectation that we will receive what we want to receive our thinking affects our actions and we find ourselves attracting the very things we want.

So to avoid attracting situations and people that will help you manifest your own fears constantly ask yourself the four fear-busting questions above. You will soon find that your fears are only shadows with no real substance and you will begin to move forward in the direction you want.
