Whether you believe you can or you can't do something it is true!
Choose beliefs that will move you forward and TAKE ACTION
As my role of radio presenter and also being a "Success Coach" I was given the opportunity to report on a local 20 foot firewalk for charity!
On getting to the venue I interviewed some of the participants who were understandably a little nervous! What brought them all together doing something they feared was a bigger reason - to support a cancer charity who had helped them and their loved ones.There was a 90 minute preperation session on how we can change our physiology - movement and breathing, our focus and our language to put us in a resourceful state to make that decision and take that first step across those 1200 degree hot coals.
As we got taken out to see the fire the what if questions started. "What if I trip , fall and my face burns, what if my feet burn, what if I can't do it.
As I got to the front of the queue and looked at the 20 feet of burning coals it reminded me that at any moment regardless of our situation or conversation that goes on in our heads we can make a new decision and have new outcomes. If we choose we can re-direct our focus - how great will it be when I have faced my fear , change our physiology - take some deep breaths and move into a state of certainty and ask ourselves better questions - what needs to happen for me to take the first step? When is now a great time to face my fear and take action?
All 33 including myself people walked on fire that night.
Firewalking is a great metaphor for life - if you can face your fears and do something you never believed was possible then what other amazing things can you do in your life.
The key to overcoming fear is to take ACTION, face your fears and make new decisions which in turn will give you new results. If you are scared of doing something then think what is an even bigger fear if you don't follow through.
In an instant you can change your physiology focus and language to put yourself in a state of certainty.
What fears will you face today that bring new opportunities tomorrow
