Hi guys...you know...fear is everywhere, but I think we do this to ourselves most of the time. Yes the stimulus might be external but we internalise it, build it and then we let it over take us and then it gets the better of us. Like everyone else, I've definitely been afraid of things I'm unsure of and when we don't understand something we grow afraid not of the task or thing itself but about who will see what we don't know or what we might mess up.

Can it be mainly a case of being afraid of failure, or is it that we're afraid of succeeding? We all have different issues that cause us to be afraid and they are normally based on how we were developed as kid, babies. Out environment determines what we are afraid of or become afraid of. To build up against that fear we have to build up our understanding of ourselves and accept what we or who we are and what we're capable of or not.

I always tell my clients that until you know who you are and you're happy with you no one and nothing can affect you. You don't need to follow anyone or have to try to live your life through someone else's life. You can be you and be happy with how it is. Acceptance. So get to know yourself, enjoy being with you and accept the good and bad parts of yourself. Self analysis is needed to overcome the things that prevent us from moving forward, so find out what restricts you, get rid of it and then move forward, grow and be a better you.
