Gimmie an "F"

I had a great discussion with one of my clients today. It was a discussion about fear. He lives with more fear than I think most people live with but we all have a certain level of fear that we deal with.

A super acronym that Tony Robbins and Jack Canfield use with fear is

False (or Fantasized)
Experiences
Appearing
Real

Think about that, and think about the last time you were fearful. What were the facts of the situation? If we look at the facts instead of the fear how does that change the situation? How does that change how you are able to cope with or handle the situation?

Some people, including my client, invent ways to scare themselves (even more) when they are scared to go for / ask for what they want. They scare themselves by imagining all sorts of “fantasized experiences that appear real” and then they don’t actually go for or ask for what they want. They don’t ask for a raise, they don’t leave a job they don’t like, they don’t delegate, they don’t ask someone out, they don’t, they don’t, they don’t.

How have they limited themselves? And why?

What could your life be like if, when you became fearful you acknowledged it and then looked at the facts instead? If you looked at the potential good outcomes and potential not so good outcomes from a less emotional point of view? How do you think that would feel? I can tell you ... it will be GREAT!!!!!

Have a terrific day!

PS Dorian update: I hired Little John to take me to our regular vet today. She actually laughed at the Cushing’s Diagnosis. It is a bacterial infection like I found online with my original research.

PPS For the life of me I can't get the formatting right today!
