How to Get Your Fear and Self-Doubt Under Control (So You Can Achieve What You Set Your Mind To With Ease)

HJ: For most of us the problem is not finding motivation, but getting past our own fear and self-doubt.  If only we could get rid of them, we would be able to achieve anything we set our mind to with ease.  And it’s true (to a certain extent).  Without these two emotions we would move forward rather effortlessly.

But there is a reason why we experience fear.  It is meant to keep us safe and alive.  It is a built in survival mechanism and without it, well, we probably wouldn’t last very long…

However, the problem lies not with fear itself, but irrational fear.  This is learned fear of things that do not actually threaten our survival or wellbeing.  This kind of fear is counterproductive and keeps us stuck where we are at despite our best intentions to move forwards and grow.  This is the kind of fear and self-doubt you need to get rid of and exactly what the article below deals with.
