Defeat Unconscious Fear With This Japanese Philosophy
One of the most uncommon psychological obstacles that people face is unconscious fear
. Unconscious fear can creep up on you, stifle your motivation and keep you from doing the things you want to do. The worst past is that this unconscious fear often disguises itself as other things.
You might convince yourself that you just don't feel like doing it right now. Or that it just isn't that important to you. You might convince yourself that you don't have all you need to do what you want to do.
But at the root of all the excuses is one thing: Fear.
Trying to diagnose what's causing the fear could take years. In the mean time, you're not actually doing the things you want to do.
Instead of trying to figure out what's causing fear, why not just circumvent it completely? Using a Japanese philosophy, you can do just that.
==> Introducing the "Kaizen" Method of Motivation
The Japanese philosophy of Kaizen can be summed up in one simple sentence: Tiny, tiny improvements add up.
Let's say the thing you want to do is lose 20 pounds. Yet you've procrastinated changing your diet or doing any exercise for months or even years.
When you think of exercising, you tell yourself you'll get to it soon, or that you just don't have the time yet. In reality however, what's really stopping you is a subtle yet powerful fear.
Instead of trying to take a huge step like implementing a workout schedule or joining a gym, Kaizen advocates starting small. Very, very small.
Start by committing to work out 1 minute a day. That's all.
==> Why Kaizen Works So Well
Exercising for one minute a day sounds so trivial, it might almost be considered a joke. But this seeming smallness is where the power of this philosophy lies.
The reptilian part of your brain is designed to resist change. Why? Because your life right now is working as far as survival goes. If things change, your environment will be unfamiliar and your brain doesn't know if you'll survive.
It's illogical in today's society; but the part of your brain that controls flight or flight response is millions of years old.
When you try to change something drastic like do a complete overhaul of your diet, your reptilian brain kicks in with fear.
But that's where Kaizen's real power shines.
Instead of triggering your fight or flight response, your brain just lets the change slip through. After all, it's just one minute. It doesn't consider it a real threat.
==> Magnifying the Power of Small Changes
Of course, if you just kept exercising a minute a day, you won't see a lot of results.
But once you get in the habit of exercising one minute a day, you'll probably gradually start to want to exercise more and more.
The whole time you're only making small, incremental increases. Never pressure yourself to make big leaps. Instead, just improve gradually and slowly.
When you change your life using this style of tiny incremental steps, you circumvent your body's natural tendency to kick into fear. You slip past your unconscious defenses and sooner than you'd expect you'll be well on your way to achieving your goals.
