3 Powerful Techniques For Controlling Fear & Creating The Life You've Always Wanted
Fear is a a signal for action, rather than just a painful emotion that you have to endure. Rather than dwelling in fear, rather than letting it continue day after day, you can work towards controlling fear, you can use your fears to guide you - Your fears can be a sign of a step needs to be taken in your life.
For example, if you have fears about money, rather than continuing to worry, decide what steps you need to take to get yourself in a better financial situation. It may be getting a better job or it could be just a matter of learning how to budget better.v
Sometimes it's easy to see what needs to be done when we are overwhelmed with fear. Or maybe it's a bit challenging, but by seeking the advice of an expert, the steps you need to take become evident. I often assist clients with this type of challenge with my Psychic Counseling Service.
But oftentimes, even after steps are taken, the fear remains. For many people, this type of fear can be like a cancerous growth that never goes away, it just gets bigger and bigger over time.
So many people are stifled by this type of deep-rooted fear in their lives.
The results can be devastating and can last a lifetime. For example, many people never take that "big risk" in the relationship area of their lives because of fear of rejection or fear of the unknown. Maybe it's a lifelong hesitation to start that small business that was always dreamed about because of the fear of failure.
Deep fear deteriorates our immune system and it cuts us off from connecting intimately with others. Fear is the main obstacle that blocks our psychic and spiritual awareness. Ongoing fear often leads to addictions or just "checking out in life" as so many people do.
A life full of fear is a limited life, a painful life, a life full of unnecessary suffering.
If you are living in fear, even if you've failed attempts to conquer it, I encourage you to continue moving forward. For every challenge, somewhere there is a solution. With persistence and commitment, you can overcome any fear, which of course opens new doors to what you can achieve in life.
Here are Three Concrete & Proven Steps you can take to start healing through deep-rooted fear. Although these techniques may seem simple, they are powerful and effective.
Master The Higher Thought Game - Deep-rooted fear is often a result of the lifelong conversation occurring in our minds. If you are often overwhelmed with fear (as many people are), it's likely this "inner conversation" could use some improvement. Pay attention to your thinking. As you monitor your thoughts, keep an eye out for defeating and irrational ways of viewing life.
When you have a fear inducing thought, replace it with a more empowering way of perceiving a situation.
For example, in a romantic relationship scenario, if you have a thought such as:
"I can't call him because he may decide he doesn't like me anymore."
Change it immediately to:
"I can call him and be OK with any outcome. If he accepts me, great. If he doesn't accept me, that's fine too. There are plenty of people on the planet and I'll find someone who will appreciate me."
To come up with a more enlightened way of viewing life, you may need to rely on the advice of a legitimate mentor(s). Reading biographies and self-help books written by trusted authors is a great way to achieve this. Model the way you think based on the great achievers, those who have accomplished success in the different areas of life.
Burn Off Fear On The Physical Level - Heavy emotions such as fear and anger can often be stored within the body, especially if you are experiencing these things on a regular basis. Before you try to change your thinking or take some other step, you may need to remove the physical effects of fear from your body. The best way to do this is through heavy exercise.
A good brisk walk, exercises at the gym, and especially activities which included resistance (such as weight-lifting), are good for burning off the physical effects of fear. As you include these activities into your life more, other approaches to healing and replacing the fear will be more effective.
Ask Yourself The Right Questions - Questions are one of the most effective ways to control your focus. When you control your focus, you gain better control over your emotions. When you use this technique, the purpose isn't to answer the question, the goal is to take control over your emotional state.
Asking Yourself The Right Questions is a powerful tool but the questions have to be appropriate, precise, and calculated to have any kind of impact. This is where you get to use your creativity. Here are some examples of questions for combating deep fear:
How much longer am I going to settle for this - how much longer do I want to be this limited?
Why should I let this stop me?
How am I going to feel on my death bed when I look back and realize that I never had the guts to do this?
I know this seems like an impossible task, but if my life depended on it, could I do it then?
What will I really accomplish by putting this off for another day,week, month, year?
Why should I deny myself the finer and greater things in life that other people actually get to experience?
What do I need to do right now to get me to where I want to go?

What will I really accomplish by putting this off for another day,week, month, year?
Why should I deny myself the finer and greater things in life that other people actually get to experience?
What do I need to do right now to get me to where I want to go?
Again, the point isn't to answer the questions. These are questions that you ask yourself throughout the day to "shock yourself" out of fear and into a more productive emotional state. As you do this, the options and possibilities in your life expand.
These three techniques are powerful tools you can use to start breaking through any fears you have in your life. These are tested and proven methods that are already working for successful people.
If you are living a life limited by fear, I hope that you apply these strategies to open up a new way of functioning, existing, and experiencing. Once you get the obstacle of fear out of the way, the river of life will likely flow with greater power.
