Taking hazards can bring up a whole host of emotions. But what are e-motions? They are energy in motion. They are the stories we tell ourselves, that is all. What's the difference in feeling scared or excited? Only our interpretation.
Are you avoiding taking hazards? Have you obtained into a rut? Try setting yourself a goal of taking one small (or large - if you're up for it - some americans can only get excited and motivated if they've set themselves a BIG challenge) risk for yourself, every week, month, year and exercise through.
A Barrister is coached to became a DJ, A Choirgirl becomes a rock musician. A Radiographer becomes a commercial photographer and fooling the experts who don't realise that they are "novices".
Life makeover programmes are very popular in the UK immediately. The whole theme behind the programmes is that americans take hazards: in getting back or starting the dating game, clearing their clutter (and all of the emotional stuff that they've been hanging onto), modification jobs and even being coached within six weeks to do something completely different.
One of the maximum obstacles to our self growth and personal development is.................ourselves!
So get out of your own way and stop resisting the changes that you prefer to make and the hazards you are going to take.
See what happens. Engage or enlist encouragement and support if you prefer. But DON'T tie yourself or became overly concerned with the finish result, just taking the risk is sufficient. Reward yourself appropriately after you've done so.
No, make that THE maximum obstacle.
Our risk taking abilities are like muscles, the more we use them, the more potent we became and fear loses its grip on our lives. The fear by no means goes away as you take more hazards, but it does stop defining your life. Fear is only an indicator that you are growing - it's not meant to stop you in your tracks!
Because ultimately.............daring to dream and living a fulfilled life is the maximum risk of all!
The most moving part of this system is the exercise up - often a year later - where this system catches up with the risk takers and find that, as a result of this, their lives have changed immeasurably. Their self perception, self esteem, confidence and overall outlook on life and what they are capable of has changed forever.
When we say that we prefer to make changes, but develop resistance and fear and in doing so an internal battle follows.
