FEAR: False Evidence Appears Real
Fear is a question. What are you afraid of and why?
Our fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if
we explore them.
~ Marilyn French
I recently stepped out of my comfort zone and
attended a New York Expo. There were hundreds of
small business owners attending the event. Getting
ready to leave for the event, my old dreaded
companion FEAR stuck out her ugly head. For a
few moments, I felt paralyzed and did not want to
go. At that moment, I remembered my new mantra, ―I
am responsible for having abundance in my life, and
picked up my pocketbook, left the house and met my
friend.
My FEAR and I walked into the Expo together.
As everyone began to mingle, a miracle occurred; my
dreaded companion left. It was a great experience. I
attended workshops, learned new marketing
strategies, made new contacts and saw old friends.
Are you afraid of networking? Here are some
techniques to remember the next time you plan to
attend a networking event and find your companion
FEAR standing next to you.
-
Imagine giving the
FEAR a big hug and saying, ―thank you for
protecting me.
-
Picture a bright
light surrounding you. This always gives me such
comfort.
-
As you leave your
house for an event, sing along with the songs on
the radio.
-
Arrive with a big
smile on your face.
-
Say hello to the
first person you meet, and start a simple
conversation. That person is just as nervous as
you are.
-
Enjoy yourself!
Next time you attend a
networking event, bring your dreaded companion,
FEAR. Both of you will have a rewarding
experience, build relationships and meet interesting
people.
Let's get started in turning your Fear into a
friend. Sit down with a cup of coffee and focus on
the exercise on the next page. Skyrocket Your
Business in 30 Days 47
-
Acknowledge your
Fear, and thank it for all the help it has given
you through the years. I know this may be hard
if you think about it, but your mind is only
trying to protect you.
-
Write down ways
your Fear helps you.
-
Write your Fear a
letter telling it whatever you want.
Example:
Dear Fear:
I hate you for making me nervous all the time.
Can't you give me confidence instead of doubt?
Let's work together in giving me confidence so I
can enjoy my life instead of feeling nervous all
the time.
I love you, Helen
-
What can you tell
your Fear every time it arrives? Example: I love
you; lets work together.
