how to overcome our fears

I am never surprised by the human inclination to be afraid of the future, it fascinates me. I also understand that fear is what defines us as humans because fear is necessary. It's a defense mechanism that helps us avoid doing stupid things. But there are also fears that seem completely unnecessary, until I would say that most of the fears about the future that we have are not very real and only prevent us from doing things and living the life of dreams. Among the most common fears we find:

• The failure

• The rejection

• Not having money

• The success

• Not being able to do things perfectly

I would say that these are the most common fears and I am sure you have some... The last one above all: not being able to do things perfectly or not well enough. I've got it, all right. Fear is completely natural, but to let our fears stop us from following our dreams is a Greek tragedy. The good news is that a fear that can be overcome.

1. The first step is to admit that you have fears. You know they exist, so admit it.

2. To continue, write down your fears. What are your fears? What's your main fear? By pointing them down to the most realistic beams. It helps to get them out of the catacombs of your mind where they are hiding to control you. Aiming at them puts you in control because they exist within you but now also outside - you have externalized them.

3. Investigate fear. You've already admitted it but that doesn't mean you're not afraid anymore. It's very likely that you're even ashamed of your fears. Don't worry, it's normal. Good thing you're not alone. A lot of people have had the same fears as you. Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Pedro Almovódar - fantastic people, everyone had fears. Same fears as you!

4. There's nothing wrong with being afraid. It's no big deal. Fear is part of you, but it doesn't control you.

5. The best thing you can ask yourself is, what's the worst that can happen? Are you afraid to try a new career? What would really happen if you changed jobs?

6. The trick to fighting your fears is to simply jump in and get things done. The amount of opportunities you lose by succumbing to your fears are many. To face your fears you have to practice. That is, try, try and try until it works, if you want to change careers investigate what skills and vital habits are needed, make a plan and implement that plan.

7. The last trick I can think of to overcome your fears is to exist in the now. To exist at this moment. Almost all fears are projected into the future. We're worried about things that might happen. Better to decide not to think about the future or the past because there really is only the now. Try to do something now to achieve your dream life, don't think about possible scenarios of failure. When you realize that you are thinking about the future, refocus on the now, this moment, the task at hand.
