6 Ways to Lose Your Fear
And Live A Wild Life
Life can be lived in fear or in hope. Fear is the easier option and many people choose this as it is the safe way journey through life. It is scary to lose your fear because that means you need to show the world your real self. Your dreams are exposed. Your goals are exposed. Your hopes are exposed.
Just imagine waking up and feeling like your dreams are a little closer, your goals are now achievable and you see a positive future.
Do you ever wake up and live in fear because you:
- Fear making a mistake
- Fear messing up
- Fear of being abandoned
- Fear you’ll get hurt
- Fear you won’t measure up to others.
I have felt all this fear. I have been afraid that what I wanted in life wasn’t really in my grasp. I feared I was not good enough to take risks with my life. I am still afraid I will get hurt but that is something I am working on. When I finally found mu purpose, I completed a mindset coaching course and started on a new path to success. Last week I took the leap from fear to hope and launched a new online course – Braving Self Care – a mindset coaching course to guide women in the direction they want to go without all the negative talk. I am excited about what the future brings. I am proud of the work I have done. I know I will be a success. It’s all about your approach – lose your fear and start living a wild life (or at least the life YOU want to live).
6 ways to begin to lose your fear?
Plan and prepare yourself to succeed. It is all in the preparation. When you are organised and confident you have covered as many options as possible, the future begins to look much brighter. By setting yourself up to succeed, fear starts to lose its power and hope begins to grow.
Just get busy. Stop procrastinating or delaying the process because you think the time is not right. Fear will always control you if you do not start.
Spend time on yourself – educate, educate, educate. An easy way to lose your fear is to educate yourself so there is no longer anything to fear. You are the only one who holds you back so invest in you and this invests in the life you will love.
Give yourself deserved credit. Modesty is nice but it is often controlled by fear. If someone gives you a compliment about work well done, TAKE IT. If you know you are good at your job, don’t be afraid to let others know. Credit earned – credit deserved.
Start thinking positive. Learn that the glass is half full, not half empty. Understand there is always a solution to a problem. By thinking positively, the fear you experience starts to get pushed over to the negative side and it starts to get very little attention.
Mistakes do not equal failure. Life is learnt through mistakes. If you make a mistake, accept it, learn from it, put it behind you and move on. Making a mistake does not mean you have failed, it means you have tried and next time you will do better. EVERYONE makes mistakes and successful people learn and move on.
Whatever your dream is – take the chance and start to lose your fear.
Whatever your goals are – believe you can achieve them and lose the fear.
Let your hopes control your life by losing your fear.
Do you live in hope or fear? Have you taken a chance in life and lost your fear?

Not a lot of fear here. But I got some disappointing news yesterday and after years of working on my dreams there are times when I feel that another “no” gets closer and closer to being the final nail in the coffin. I still don’t feel afraid though. I just feel bloody tired and wonder how I’ll muster the energy to keep pushing. At what point do we just pull the plug? Sigh. Yep, it’s one of those days today I’m afraid.
I’ll get back to creating success again tomorrow.
I won’t say some mumbo jumbo about believing in yourself as I can tell you do. I am on the same path Leanne (just heading in a different direction) where I work hard, stay positive, keep pushing myself and when I see things move in the right direction its amazing but when the train doesn’t move after all the work.. argh. Just let today be.. feel all the shit and wake up tomorrow saying “You havent beaten me yet!!”
I do live in fear, yes, and it definitely holds me back. You’ve given some great advice above, so I’ll take that on board. Good on you for taking that leap with your online course. You’ve worked so hard for this and you know you’re stuff. You’ll be awesome.
Thanks lovely. I look fear in the face now cause I realised if I don’t I will never achieve what I want to in my lifetime.. and lifetime is way to short. Work out your why and that helps with fear.
Not sure fear holds me back anymore – or if it does, it’s disguised. I am getting better at just doing what I want and shutting up the critical voice….(There’s a lot to learn from Kanye, and I’m not being sarcastic)
I agree. When you look at your life, you need to work out who is your biggest critic – and it isn’t who most people think!!!!
Yes, I do feel fear at times, but I try the approach of ‘just jump in and see’. I think the more risks we take in life from a young age, the easier fear becomes to manage.
I wish I took more when I was younger but I was afraid of how I would look.
I had to face fear of the worst kind this year when the oral surgeon rang me to tell me I had cancer in my gums. There was no choice NOT facing the fear..that I had built up for a long time: driving to Sydney, getting IBS on the way…and being humiliated because of that. So, with the best support person in the world, I DID it. My psychologist had been talking about exposing myself via exposure therapy to situations I would not normally be cool with and BANG..I had to. In quite a few ways, facing the fear, not backing away, has strengthened me for this lifelong journey with cancer. Even if they say ‘they got it all’ it can always return. I have a lot of CDs from my buddhist based teachers – Pema Codron, Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield where they not only ‘talk the talk but they walk the walk’ and now, “thanks to cancer” I can too.

I love the advice to “just get busy”. I feel like this has been my year of releasing fears! Hasn’t felt all that pleasant while working through it but now at the other end I feel much lighter. Biggest congrats on your course. That’s awesome xx
