When do other people’s fears impact your life? How other people think and behave has a great impact on our lives. A simple fear that goes unaddressed can spread like wildfire through a community, and through the world. Remember the story of Chicken Little? In his ignorance and paranoia he spread fear through an entire community, because the immediacy of the falling sky eliminated the possibility of anyone’s taking time to verify his claim. Listening to your true feelings or thoughts on the matter and hand, rather than responding to the influence of other people’s fears, is of paramount importance in the resetting of your Fear Button.
How do you reset your buttons when facing those fears? Remind yourself that you may not be able to control how you feel but you can control how you think and act. Face the fear and begin to consider your action plan or worst case solution. Revisit your fear and ask yourself, What can I do in this moment to alleviate this fear? Most fears are able to fester and grow due to lack of communication.
Make a communication plan so that you can be more informed. By having more information you will be better equipped to determine if this fear is real how it can be resolved. Consider the source, not only the message but the messenger. Initiate the type of
conversation you need to have so that it will help to diminish or remove your fear. Find a source that will provide you with the information you need in a manner in which you will be most receptive to it.
The longer you hold onto the fear, the longer you internalize it, fixate on it, the more power you give it.
Ask yourself which method of communication is most appealing to you and then find a source who can deliver it. Consider the
following criteria: n Who can deliver a direct conversation and get to the bottom of this situation?
n Do you need more of a “feeling conversation”, one where you feel safe to discuss your thoughts, feelings and ideas without concern over a loss of approval?
n Can you schedule time in the immediate future to discuss your fears over coffee, tea or lunch?
