It's Mind Right Monday... Don't allow fear to fog your focus!
Fear is a human emotion. Sometimes our belief that someone or something will harm us is real.
Healthy Fear: We should be fearful of a pit of rattle snakes.
If we are honest, most of our fears are based on people we don't see, dangers that don't exist, and environments we don't find ourselves in.
Unhealthy Fear: the fear of what people think about us; fear of failure; fear of the unknown.
If not handled appropriately, unhealthy fear has the capacity to fog our focus causing us to fail before we try. Don't allow unhealthy fear to cause paralysis or premature actions.
When facing fear consider two of my favorite fear acronyms:
- False
- Evidence
- Appearing
- Real
We must carefully evaluate every fearful situation before making a decision to act.
- Face
- Everything
- And
- Rise
It's inevitable, we will experience fear. Our ability to identify risk and make wise decisions will always help us to overcome unhealthy fear.
