Fear-A Primitive Emotion

Fear is a natural, powerful, and primitive human emotion. When we

confront a perceived threat, our bodies respond in specific ways, which
includes feeling afraid.
Although many fears are learned, the capacity to fear is part of human
nature. Some people are adrenaline seekers, thriving on extreme sports
and other fear-inducing thrill situations. Others have a negative
reaction to the feeling of fear, avoiding fear-inducing situations at all
costs.
Fear of certain things form specific phobias. It is not necessary that the
thing being feared Is dangerous. In that case, it is called irrational fear.

common than others.

Overcoming Fear of Failure Facing Your Fear of Moving
Forward😊
Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided
not to try it at all? Or has a fear of failure meant that, subconsciously,
you undermined your own efforts to avoid the possibility of a larger
failure?
● Many of us have probably experienced this at one time or
another. The fear of failing can be immobilizing – it can cause us
to do nothing, and therefore resist moving forward.
● But when we allow fear to stop our forward progress in life, we're
likely to miss some great opportunities along the way.

How Not to Be Afraid of Failure 👇

It's important to realize that in everything we do, there's always a chance that we'll fail. Facing that
chance, and embracing it, is not only courageous – it also gives us a fuller, more rewarding life.

However, here are a few ways to reduce the fear of failing:

● Analyze all potential outcomes – Many people experience fear of failure because they fear the
unknown. Remove that fear by considering all of the potential outcomes of your decision. Our
article Decision Trees  will teach you how to map possible outcomes visually.
● Learn to think more positively – Positive thinking is an incredibly powerful way to build self-
confidence and neutralize self-sabotage. Our article Thought Awareness, Rational Thinking, and
Positive Thinking  is a comprehensive resource for learning how to change your thoughts
● Look at the worse-case scenario – In some cases, the worst case scenario may be genuinely
disastrous, and it may be perfectly rational to fear failure. In other cases, however, this worst
case may actually not be that bad, and recognizing this can help.
● Have a contingency plan  – If you're afraid of failing at something, having a "Plan B" in place can
help you feel more confident about moving forward .
