I was sent an excerpt from an author John Scherer – It was titled — Facing your Tiger!
I started doing some research on the concept of FEAR and here is what I concluded:
1. We all have fears – we are all afraid of something or something’s
2. Fear disguises itself — as anger, avoidance, frustration, excuses, procrastination and many, many others. Recognize it is fear.
3. Fear gets it strength – from people’s perception of the unknown.
4. Fear can be a very powerful blockade in your life.
5. Fear can be controlled and defeated.
Solutions —
1. Ask yourself direct and open ended questions – do not worry that you do not have the answers.
- In regards to “X” situation what am I truly afraid of? And why? What is my perception of this issue?
2. Be willing to hear the truth – do not justify your position.
3. Pick a modest goal and move towards it.
4. Do a Ben Franklin – Make a list of all your concerns and a list of all the amazing gifts you will receive when you attain your goal.
5. Commit yourself to your goal and face your tiger!
6. Summon your courage – defined by moving myself into the unknown
7. Continually think and talk about your goal and the gifts it will bring you when you achieve it.
8. Never give up I promise you the Tiger will tire eventually or you will tweak your attack and out smart the Tiger .
