OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF FAILURE

Fear of Failure.

Do you know what it's called? It’s known as Atychiphobia.

Nice, right? Now you can put a label on it.

But it is a scary fear. Because it can be a roadblock to your success.

It's that nagging, irrational fear that we won't live up to our own or others' expectations.

Today, let's explore this fear, its signs, and ways to conquer it!

Some of the characteristics of the Fear of Failure are tough inner emotional battles :
👉 Anxiety
👉 Avoidance
👉 Loss of control
👉 Helplessness
👉 Powerlessness

Physical symptoms may accompany this fear. Examples are rapid heart rate and sweating.

You can identify the Fear of Failure easily, even so I believe that many are friends with it:

👉 Believing you lack the skills to achieve something
👉 Procrastinating to the point of affecting performance
👉 Telling yourself you'll probably fail to keep expectations low

It can even lead to avoiding trying altogether.

Well, once again, much of it can be related back to your upbringing, and how you were taught to manage setbacks in life.

There are ways to get over it and it really depends on the intensity of your fear.

It’s easier said than done, but ways to begin working on it are:

👉 Consider the outcomes and play positive outcomes in your mind
👉 Focus on what you can control – you can only control what is within your reach
👉 Plan with alternative options – basically create fallback plans
👉 Redefine failure as a learning opportunity – a typical NLP Belief is that there is No Failure, Only Feedback

Don't let fear hold you back from living your best life.

Everything starts with self-awareness and acknowledging that fear of failure is holding you back from reaching your goals.

But with the right strategies, you can conquer this fear and reach your full potential. Embrace your journey, and remember, failures can lead to remarkable success!
