What Is Your Greatest Fear

I bet there's something holding you back from achieving more success in any particular area of your life

. Whether it be your health, relationships, finances or career, its fear that holds you back from achieving more. You have that uncomfortable feeling that makes you hot and sweaty every time you think of it, which prevents you from taking any kind of action to achieve success. Let me explain what a fear or phobia is, and give you a technique to reduce or get rid of the negative feeling.

What is a Fear or Phobia?

A Fear or Phobia is a negative feeling in your body brought on by either an experience you had in the past or by the mental images you constantly play over in your mind. We're only born with two fears; the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises, all other fears are learnt behaviours. Any behaviour that can be leant can be unlearnt. So you had a bad experience in the past, and now every time you think of doing something similar, you get an uncomfortable feeling in your body. It usually starts in your chest and pushes up towards your throat. It may even have a circular, spinning feeling in your body that allows you to feeling terrible, out of breathe and your temperature rises.

What's actually happened here, is when the incident occurred, you had such a negative emotional response that now anything you associate to this experience, gives you this feeling. Therefore, if you had a bad experience with public speaking, whenever someone mentions public speaking you feeling terrible. You create mental images in your mind of everything going wrong, just like in your initial experience. These negative images along with that internal voice in your head allow you to feeling horrible, while thinking of this experience. You've now done it so often it's become a habit; you think - you feel, you think - you feel. It's become an automatic process like brushing your teeth or tying your shoelace. The great thing is that you learnt this behaviour and therefore you can unlearn it.

How to get rid of a fear or phobia

Think of your fear and identify the direction of the feeling in your body. For example; it may be a forwards, backwards, clockwise or an anticlockwise spinning feeling in your body. Close your eyes now and imagine this fear or phobia playing out in your mind. Imagine you're watching a big blockbuster movie and you're in it. Notice the spinning feeling in your body and give it the colour red and keep it spinning. Now change the direction of the spinning in your body and give it the colour blue. For Example; if it was a red, backwards spinning feeling, now spin it forwards with the colour blue. Picture this blue colour spinning in your body as you see yourself successfully handle this situation in the movie calmly and confidently. Now gently step inside yourself in the movie and allow yourself to see everything through your own eyes. See what you'll see through your own eyes when everything plays out successfully, the way you want it to. Make the picture bigger, brighter and more colourful while you continue to spin this blue feeling in your body faster and faster. Let the blue colour become lighter and lighter until it's a sky blue. What calm or confident internal voice do you hear when everything plays out successfully in the situation. Make this voice more calm and confident and the sounds around you louder and richer, as you continue to spin this light blue feeling in your body. Do this for 5-10 minutes and when you feel great open your eyes.

How great do you feel now? By changing the images, sounds and the direction of the feeling in your body, you're able to feel more calm, confident and relaxed in this situation. This will allow you to take the necessary action to enter a similar situation in the future. By taking action over and over you condition a new habit of calmness and confidence in this situation until it becomes an automatic behaviour. By doing this you'll get rid of your fear completely!
