What the Hell is My Brain Doing?

How to overcome the Fear of Failure?


Listen Later

BOO! Happy Halloween to my amazing people!

My favorite part of this holiday time of year is experiencing them through the eyes of my children.

My husband and two of my girls LOVE the scary movies.

Which is fine…I suppose.

My other daughter and I are not fans of the scary movies.

But watching those scary movies with my kids allows me to have some new perspective on the emotion of fear.

You see I realized that your brain almost always looks at things in two ways.

There’s the simpler, more childlike part of our brain that tries to keep things easy and relatable.

And then there’s the adult portion of our brain where we sometimes overanalyze or overthink things and make us feel like we are all over the place.

So today I wanted to bring some of that dual perspective to the topic of fear in honor of Halloween.

You can almost think of the fears associated with Halloween as that smaller, simpler fear.

They are things we can immediately solve, rationalize and figure out.

But then there are the more “Adult” fears…

Problems of the world, worries about our business, anxiety in our relationships- there are tons of legitimate fears.

Today though, I want to focus in on the Fear of Failure and how to leverage this fear to move forward with your goals.

By the end of this episode, you will be equipped with some new thoughts and tools to help you if your find yourself confronting a fear of failure.

Come with me and discuss:

  • Understanding why fear is healthy.
  • Defining and respecting what the fear represents.
  • Learning how to leverage your fear for forward momentum.
