The Fear Zone

Ever felt the fear? I know I have. Sometimes I feel like it’s a relative I know well. Although this video is intended to advertise, John Assaraf always inspires with his insight, encouragement and knowledge. John’s 5 tips for overcoming the fear zone:

1. Become aware of the fear.
2. Take responsibility for the negative thoughts.
3. Re-frame your experience; understand that your brain is feeling overwhelmed and trying to return to something familiar. Take it one step at a time, one moment at a time, one day at a time.
4. Ride the emotional wave, but don’t buy into it.
5. Retrain your brain to push yourself through the fear.
