Everyone in the world believe that fearless people have no fear. But, that is not actually true. No matter how string a person appear, they experience fear. They learned how to be fearless and overcome daily fears. I mean, if you’re truly fearless, you’re probably a sociopath because everyone is scared of something.
Being fearless is your state of mind. And once you’ve conquered one fear, there’s going to be another. That’s just life. The point is, you’re able to grapple with this emotion and use a method that works for you in turning your fear into something conquerable.
# Be aware of your fearsWhat is it that really makes you fearful? If you don’t know what it is, then you won’t be able to overcome it. So, sit down and really think about this. For many people, living in fear is normal. So, don’t think you can overcome this over a cup of coffee. Write your fears down and really self-reflect.
# Look at what fuels your fearsThis part isn’t going to be fun, it means you must look at your life and what’s caused your fears. Is it because your father abandoned you as a child? Is it because you didn’t graduate college? Just because you feel fear doesn’t mean something negative is going to happen to you. It could simply be because of a past situation that left you traumatized.
# Work on your confidence
Your fear and how you battle it is highly connected to your self-confidence. You’re scared because you don’t want a situation to repeat itself, you think you’ll fail, etc. But this is all linked to your mental state and how you don’t think you’ll be able to conquer what is ahead of you. This is when you start looking at how you see yourself.
# Prepare for failureWe will all fail at something. But here’s the thing, fearless people do not see “failure” as a failure. They see it as an opportunity to grow and learn from their mistakes. This is the thing, we all mess up at some point, we’re human. What you need to do is prepare yourself for those moments when you make a mistake, that’s it.
# Ask for help
If you’re fearless, you know when to ask for help. Being fearless isn’t about doing things on your own without anyone, blah blah blah. That’s just being arrogant. We all need help at some point and fearless people see help as something valuable. This is what makes them stronger when they see they their need for emotional, mental, or physical help, they ask for it.
# They see the futureHey, the future they see may not turn out exactly like that, but they visualize where they want to be in life. They may not make it to that point, but the point is, they head in that direction. They know who they want to be in the future and what they want to do.
# They reflectWhen stressed out, they’re not freaking out and panicking. They take some time to breathe and reflect on what’s going on. As a fearless person, they take the time to put things into perspective in order to recognize that their fear isn’t as big as they thought.
# Be realistic in the worst case scenarios
When scared, we don’t think clearly. In fact, we tend to blow up the situation. But fearless people take a step back and reevaluate the situation they’re in. What is really the worst case scenario? If you screw up your speech at work, what will happen? People will giggle, talk about it at the water cooler that day, and live their lives.
