FEAR CONTROLS YOUR EVERY EMOTION

            FEAR CONTROLS YOUR EVERY EMOTION


"Fear controls your every emotion" is one of my favorite quotes. I learned this a long time ago. It creeps up every now and again, but I've learned to face it & tell it to "get lost".

Im a health & fitness professional ~ the principles of this blog can apply to everyday life & in many situations, but this will focus on fitness and the fears that many have when it comes to their health & fitness.

You have come to the conclusion that it's time to make a change. You want to move foward, but feel blocked by fear & anxiety [e.g. I will not be able to do this, I'm scared to do that]
You feel pressured when change is imposed upon you and you want to stay where you are, in the comfort zone you know.
You are faced with a choice: stay with the known or take steps to move forward into the unknown.

Things that you're confident about and comfortable doing, that is known & safe~ these are your comfort zones. Things that you don't like doing or believe that you are not capable of or feels unsafe, arousing feelings of fear and anxiety are what's called "unknown".
An example of this "unknown zone":
As a child you never learned to swim; therefore you see swimming as being outside of your comfort zone, associating it with feeling of stress or anxiety.
Going into your comfort zone isn't always bad. Comfort zones can and should be respected at times because it helps keep the person be and feel safe. However, people do need to be challenged as they may be blocking development & growth.
Those people are limiting themselves and because of their beliefs they're being prevented from expanding just because they feel that they cannot step out of their comfort zone.
Do you want to be like this?
Are you already guilty of it?
If yes, that's ok- because if you've gotten this far, then you have a closer relationship with your mind and are starting to understand the title of this blog- "fear controls your every emotion". If fear is controling your emotions, then your emotions are controling your actions - which enevidably means that fear controls your actions. Wait - if fear controls your actions, then wont your actions control your outcome? Sounds like fear controls your outcome- your destiny. If fear is the driver and it controls your destiny, well wont that just lead to failure?
Ok, ok, ok,,, You want to succeed! You don't want failure!
So what controls you? Think really hard about this. Ahhh, you probably just answerd this question and you are grinning [maybe,lol].

What controls your actions? your outcome? your destiny?

If you operate from a place thats fear, you're setting yourself up for failure, but if you operate from a place of " I'll try" you will succeed!

Yes! Succeed! This is how you will Succeed!
It's easy to say, "don't let fear get in the way of your success", but how do you stop it? I tell it to get lost!

You must start believing in your strength and stop thinking about the weaknesses.

You have what it takes. We all do.

Thank you for taking the time to read this article. It means alot to me and as a personal trainer I apply this to my clients as well as myself.

Hugs Health & Happiness
