We become more and more comfortable with growth, and change, and ultimately transformation. The beauty with breaking through to the Growth Zone is that as we become equipped at moving through fear, and seeking solutions to barriers, our comfort zone actually EXPANDS. So, if we define the fear, and then seek solutions to breaking through it, the mere focus on the solution will attract the resources and tools we need to move through the fear or barrier. I’ve learned that “ there’s always a solution to a well-defined problem”. I don’t accept what is, unless it’s what I want, and I challenge anything that isn’t working by looking for an alternative. As a child, I had no idea how invaluable this advice would be, but now I know it’s one of my strengths.
My grandfather taught me at an early age, if something’s not working, try something new. The beauty is… once we become aware of our fears and barriers, and move them into our conscious mind, it becomes easier to move through them. It also prevents us from achieving our dreams and desires.īefore we can move past fear, it’s imperative to understand what these barriers are and not just ignore them. There are three key things I’ve personally used to overcome fear and grow into my potential:įear is like a giant wall preventing us from growth. The Be You course was designed to help you identify and overcome your fears, while growing your confidence. Once we move through fear, we then can learn new skills in order to grow –without the barrier of fear standing in our way.Īlthough this isn’t an easy task at first, it is well worth the effort, because we become better equipped to move through new fears that come up in any area of our life. And, once it no longer has power over us, we slowly gain control over it. When we make fears conscious, the fear no longer has power over us. Well, rather than trying to make fear go away, we move through it, meaning we acknowledge its presence and make the fear conscious. What does it mean to “ move through” fear? What I’ve learned about life transformation is that for any new growth area we want to experience, we have to face and move through fear rather than pretend it’s not there. Let us help you move through fear and into the Growth Zone with the Be You course. Most of us actually dread the FEELING of fear in our body and avoid it at great cost. However, the fear we ignored eventually returns and limits our ability to move forward. When we try to overcome fear, often we just ignore it or push it down. What is it, exactly, that holds us back from experiencing more joy and happiness? Simply put – fear.įear stops us from leaving the Comfort Zone, but also prevents us from moving into the Learning Zone. Why isn’t it as simple as: if you want to learn something, just learn it? Or, if you want to experience more in your life, why not just pursue it? The simple answer is “fear is the only thing holding us back,” but it seems as if there should be a better explanation. I've always tried to understand why some people are able to break through barriers and grow, while others get stuck in the Comfort Zone.
But how do we continue to learn and grow, despite the current climate? Moving From the Comfort Zone to the Growth Zone With so much uncertainty, the sense of control can be a great source of comfort, but we mustn’t let it put us in a place where we’re stagnant. We may find that we begin to dwell again on our fears and seek to get some kind of control. In times like these, it’s not uncommon for those who previously pushed past the Comfort and Fear Zone to revert back.Īs new challenges arise, our ability to learn and grow is put to the test. Our world is still overwhelmed by fear, so this graphic frequently comes to mind. 2021 has felt like a slightly better version of 2020.
