The fear! God I have suffered from this baby in my time and still do. Relax people, you don’t need to be fearless, it’s a myth that we have been sold. Fear is natural, it’s a part of life and a useful emotion that has kept us safe for centuries. Fear can really affect your presence, taking you out of the moment \u00a0you are in. It will make you feel scared, nervous and worried, causing you to easily lose the momentum\u00a0to do what you need to do. You, me , the bravest person you know and even Bear Grylls all experience the jitters. Watch this clip about what Bear says about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to embrace fear and ‘JFDI’ (Just effin’ do it)!<\/h2>\n

I think it’s interesting the way Bear mentions the feeling he gets before he does something, there is joy in facing that fear without resistance. If we are frightened of experiencing it\u00a0we will inevitably miss out on something that we want to do. Seeing the nerves as something that comes with growth, \u00a0and accepting and embracing it is where the power lies.<\/p>\n

In Turn Lights On the book <\/a>I dedicate a chapter to The Fear Factor as is can really effect our light. I break it down to three steps…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Recognise it<\/li>\n
  2. Accept It<\/li>\n
  3. Act on it<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is ok, normal and safe to feel nervousness so recognising that feelings and the accompanying thoughts is the first step. Asking \u00a0yourself, Is this just fear talking? Does this excuse come from fear?<\/p>\n

    Then accept it and embrace it. \u00a0Yes you are feeling it, so it must be time to do something pretty exciting and something that demands a\u00a0little bit more than your usual day.<\/p>\n

    Then a splash of JFDI (Just effin’ do it) – Do it, don’t let anything stand in your way. Letting how you feel\u00a0win is a complete high five victory for your ego. \u00a0Ego and fear are best buddies and neither\u00a0want you to make a fool of yourself or to be vulnerable,\u00a0\u00a0don’t\u00a0consult them when you want to JFDI. \u00a0Being completely present is where courage lives. \u00a0This is where we really shine.<\/p>\n
