Feel the fear and:

Do it!

1. Fear will never go away as long as I continue to grow.

2. The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it.

3. The only way to feel better about myself is to go out and do it.

4. Not only am I going to experience fear whenever I’m in unfamiliar territory, but so is everyone else.

5. Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the underlying fear that comes from a feeling of helplessness.

At the heart of every fear is the underlying belief that “I can't handle it." This is why we hesitate, procrastinate, or avoid stepping outside our comfort zones. But the good news is, once we recognize this narrative, we can actively choose to transform it into "I can handle it” and trust that we can handle the opportunities coming our way.

Here are some of my favorite strategies for this, which I've been experimenting with and enjoying:

- **Remember that the only difference between fear and excitement is a smile.** Physiologically, fear and excitement are actually very similar. I’ve found that transforming fear into excitement is easier than trying to completely neutralize the feeling. Maybe try finding the exciting angle of this opportunity, opening up your body language, taking a deep belly breath—and maybe even cracking a smile.

- **Reframing with a Growth Mindset.** Instead of seeing challenges as threats, view them as opportunities for growth. Meaningful growth only happens outside our comfort zone, so every uncomfortable experience is a gift. Embrace this deliberate discomfort.

When we avoid fear, it piles up, limiting our freedom and keeping us stuck in the same small space. But when we challenge it and take another small step toward clearing our fears, we gradually create a wider clearing—a space where we feel confident, capable, and free to pursue what we truly want.

**Reflection Questions:**

- What is something outside your comfort zone that you want to do but have been avoiding?

- What might be the doubt that has been holding you back?

- What is one small step you can take today toward breaking through it?

Think of three times in the past where you proved to yourself that you could handle a challenge you were previously intimidated by.

**How can you use this ‘Bank of Evidence’ to rise to future opportunities?**

It’s not about eliminating fear entirely, but rather showing ourselves over and over again that we can, in fact, handle it.

And slowly but surely, each time we face our fears, we prove to ourselves that we are stronger, braver, and more capable than we once might have thought.
