What are you scared of?
There is nothing to be frightened of.
Here is one simple method to Overcoming your phobias
Are you afraid of flying, people, heights, clowns, prospecting, etc?
It does not matter what your fears are, the good news is you can dominate your fears!
I am going to communicate one individual story with you of how I learned to dominate my fears at a very young time.
My father was involved with a civic group in our community. The city group used to keep up the community pool. I would go to the pool in the evenings, with my father. While he would do daily maintenance on the pool I would use the time to swim and have the pool to myself. Those were great summers growing up. Well anyway I became quite skillful at performing ones and one and a halves off the low boards. I practiced every night, so I could show off to my friends throughout the day.
My Father would observe me and asked one night why I dont do my dives off of the high dive. I told him I was fearful of the high dive. He asked me, What are you afraid of? I told him it was too towering. He asked, Can you spring off of the high dive? I told him I didnt need to.
My dad started to ascendthe high dive and told me, Follow me up and I will show you how to do it. We get to the top of the high dive and my chest felt rigid and my mouth went dry as a bone. He talked me out to the end of the board and I remember shaking and trying not to show any concern. He told me to just stand at the tip of the board, take some deep breaths and look out at the horizon. I did what he said and began to calm down. He started talking to me as I was staring out over the pool. He said, John, this is just one more diving board, it is no different than the one down below. When you are ready I want you to step off the end of the board. I told him that I was not ready. He said, Im going to count to three and you will step off. He began to count one; twoand then he pushed me off the end. I hit the water and swiftly came to the surface and realized that nothing life-threatening happened to me.
Dad hollered for me to come up again. I was a little flustered but went up the ladder and out to the end of the board. Dad asked if I was set to jump again. I told him I was not sure. He told me to go to the end of the board and take another concentrated breath and relax. He then began to count, one, two, threeI didnt jump. He then pushed me off the board again. Once again I came to the surface but this time I felt ecstatic! I rapidly went back up the ladder went to the end of the board and jumped! It felt extreme!
On the jaunt home I thanked Dad for helping me spring off the high dive. He told me, John, you just learned a fear conquering secret. I was only in second grade so I did not get the picture what I had learned. So I asked him what I had learned. He told me, If you are scared to do something, just do it three times in a row as fast as you can. That lesson has stuck with me and I will never disregard it. I have used this system in everything I was scared of doing. Let me tell you it works!
Within two weeks I was doing my ones and one and a halves from the high dive. I will never forget that summer.
What ever your fear may be, Like the Nike commercials, Just Do It! Do it three times in a row as speedy as you can.
This will apply to practically any fear you have, whether it is public speaking, flying, prospecting, cold calling, heights, and clowns, whatever it is this will work for you!
Coquer your fear!
