Programming Yourself Not To Fear Fear

• Visualise your goals and overcome your fears!
• Use intensely desired goals and forget your fears!
• You can’t fail. So just do it!

You can largely neutralise the fears of failure that inhibit effective action, by using positive affirmations and visualisation to reprogram your mind for success.

Visualise Your Goals 

Every time you visualise your goal and see it as obtained in your mind, you intensify your desire and diminish your fears.

This is an extremely important thing to do, because all successful people have a clear mental image of exactly what they want to achieve.

This motivates them, and drives the forward to achieve their goals. It also intensifies their desires, and intense desires will help them overcome any fears they may face.

Using Desire To Overcome Fear

Imagine you had an intense fear of spiders. It’s so bad that you feel uncomfortable looking at them or going near them. Now imagine there is a box full of the biggest, hairiest and hungriest looking spiders you have ever seen!

But, there is also a cheque for £/$ 1 million with your name on it inside the box with the spiders! If your desire for the money was strong enough, you would most likely face your fears and take the money.

This is a good example of how intensely desired goals, can overcome fear. If you can discipline yourself to use visualisation and affirmations daily to support your goals, you will increase your intensity of desire, and simultaneously your ability to control and overcome fear.

Overcoming Fear Requires Mental And Physical Action!

Many people assume that by focusing their thoughts on something (such as through the use of daily visualisation and affirmations) they will make it a reality. However this is only partly true.

Whilst it is extremely important your dominant thoughts are about your goals, it is equally important for you to take physical action.

This is one criticism I have of the excellent movie “The Secret“, as it does not put enough emphasis on the importance of taking physical action to achieve your goals.

In Brief – Act as though it were impossible to fail, and use affirmations and visualisation daily to strengthen the intensity of your desires.
