My Actions Where Fear & Drawbacks Cease To Exist

in HiveGhana11 months ago

If there's one person who has fears for literally everything she gets involved with, it is I. I'm not saying I don't still dare to do some things but I'm very sure and ashamed to say, there are more things that fear has deprived me from doing and I'm still working on how to overcome them.

It's a mystery how one fears but isn't sure of what he or she fears, I mean, I could actually just do it anyways and face the hurt or enjoy the good results so why hold back? That's what I can't explain.

I guess I let the high possibility of it being a hurt hold me back or I don't think the good result in it is worth taking the risk for. I need to put a stop to whatever I fear, I want to.

Until I can overcome my fears for real, I'd be happy to write what I'll do if fears and the drawbacks that comes with it would cease to exist. I really like this topic as it helps me reflect on things I've been holding back from doing because of one reason or the other.

I can't even promise I won't go back to being afraid of them but I like that I'm very much aware of the ones I'm not doing because of the fears I get in them. I'll be sharing three things I fear to do but would do them if the fear cease to exist.

Saying No sometimes or more comfortably

I don't know if those around have noticed this about me or it's yet to be out. Even when I get the gut to say NO, I never feel comfortable saying it as I put too much into consideration while I do which I think isn't doing me any good as there are people who don't care at all when they tell me NO.

I mean this in different regards, whether I say NO to a proposal, an offer or to help. I hardly can say NO and sometimes I get to say it, I go back on my words to satisfy another and not myself. Although, there are instances my fears of worst cases won't even make me think of saying YES after a NO.

Investing more into more Web3 options

I know very well I am limiting myself in this aspect because of fear of losses or simply, waste of time and resources. With more research and fears gone, I believe I would do a lot more with Web3 and crypto options giving me higher chances at wealth creation for myself and family comfort in the future.

I am doing a lot recently in this regard that seem like I'm getting over the fears in this, hopefully I'll smile to the fact that I did it anyways regardless of the fears I had. I expect losses and I also expect gains, whatever comes, I'm willing to accept it and move on with a better plan.

Speak up my worries and face the crowd

They are both different scenarios but they are one and same for me from what I've studied about myself. I find it hard to rely on anyone to share what really bothers me or some past hurts I'm still fighting till now. Also taking in front of a crowd and comfortably is one experience I keep doubting I'll ever have.

I know the fear in this is only depriving me from something good and even great but how I'm not able to get rid of it to try it all out is a lot of concern to me. Hopefully, someday I would come back to this post to say, I am better and bigger now.

Fear is a very big set back, its a cage that is ever ready to keep those who are subject to it bound for life. I have my fears too, sometimes I face them, other times I run.

but It's better we face our fears and face the consequences whether good or bad than remain small for long. I am going through almost all the fears you wrote above, and the painful part of it is, I don't even know how to step out of them.

Recently, I was discussing with a friend why I don't like live meetings where people are asked to speak, when I told the person that I am scared of speaking publicly, she was surprised. I have tried a million times but, I still feel like it's not my thing. I always freak out 🤣🤣🙈

But then, until we overcome these things, we would be limited. Fear robs us of so many opportunities. I am glad you are already, working on some of yours.

Exactly, the limitations and opportunities being robbed from us is what I wish I could put a stop to but the more I try to get rid of the fear, the more it gets harder to.

We won't relent, I know surely, we will break forth if we don't quite trying

Here’s some motivation to get into the habit of saying no and speaking up more: people use people pleasers (that’s what people who don’t or can’t say no are called) until they suck you dry.

Once people pick up on the fact that you’re a people pleaser, say goodbye to having your own free will, cos it’s over. You become a slave to people’s opinions, their wants and everything. You lose yourself. I hope this scares you enough, my friend.🙂

As for the investing in web3 part, I’m not discouraging you or anything, but I’d be careful on how much and what you invest in. Remember that our investment we did all that calculation for? How’s that going for us now?😂😂

🤣🤣🤣
Oh yeah, I feel scared and I hope I stay scared when I'm faced with the real life situations.

Lol that's true o, anyways, we move and we know better now 😅

It takes courage to face our fears, but it's worth it in the end. We become stronger and more confident in ourselves. One way to start overcoming our fears is to take small steps towards them. For example, if you're afraid of public speaking, start by speaking in front of a small group of friends or family. Then gradually work your way up to larger groups.Another way to overcome fear is to change our mindset. Instead of focusing on the negative outcomes, focus on the positive ones. For example, instead of thinking "what if I fail?", think "what if I succeed?".Lastly, seeking help from a therapist or counselor can also be beneficial in overcoming fears. They can provide guidance and support in facing our fears and developing coping mechanisms.Remember, fear is just an emotion and it doesn't have to control us. We have the power to overcome it and live our lives to the fullest.

Yeah, I get your point totally and I agree that fear is just an emotion. How it still controls us so much is what I don't get.

But fighting hard to not let it have control over me is what I keep getting at and I'll continue to try.

It's always good to do things that would move us forward, you see the fear of saying "NO" is one thing we should overcome, because when we say "YES" instead of "NO" we limit ourselves from moving forward.

Looking forward to hearing from you on your growth in these areas, it's a gradual process dear.

Season's greetings 🎅🎄🥘🍲🎂🍗🥂

It is a gradual process indeed and I pray I get to the end of this process with good results to talk about.

Sure you will, I see you as one who is determined and focused.

I love your courage that fear is not In your dictionary.

Thanks, just trying to get it out of my dictionary lol.

When we overcome our fears, we become even more stronger.
And then it takes courage to overcome our fears too

Nice write up

Yeah, taking small steps to build that courage is a start to me, I hope I take them.

Cool
