We often associate fear as a bad thing, but we can actually turn it into a positive and use it to drive us forward.
This is very much the mindset of life coach, leadership consultant and author Becky Hall, who explains that ‘brave people’ aren’t stronger or better than the rest of us – they are just the ones who don’t let fear stop them from doing things.
Becky explains: ‘It’s all about understanding the surprising truth that our bodies react in similar ways to two very contrasting emotions.’She says: ‘Think back to a time when you were really nervous about doing something. Perhaps your heart started to beat faster, your mouth went dry, you felt hotter or got butterflies in your tummy.
Becky says the next time you are fearful about something, see if you can replace the fear words like ‘nervous’ and ‘scared’, with their positive cousins – like ‘excited’ or ‘looking forward’.‘It’s forming a new neural pathway in our brain which gets stronger with use.’Once you’ve started to reset the thinking patterns in your mind, the next thing is to focus on how you can stay coherent in the present moment, even when your heart is pounding.
