#15 Dancing With Fear - How to Move Beyond Fear of Success
Manage episode 479567205 series 3634012
Fear of success often hides behind perfectionism, procrastination, and turning down opportunities we secretly desire. Without realizing it, we develop subconscious beliefs connecting success with negative outcomes, causing us to self-sabotage and play small even as we consciously pursue our goals.
• Our inner dialogue forms the blueprint of our lives, with subconscious beliefs running 90% of our behavior
• Fear of success often stems from childhood experiences or witnessing successful people encounter tragedy
• Society teaches us to "stay humble" and not shine too brightly, reinforcing our hesitation to succeed
• Success isn't something to chase—it's a natural byproduct of living aligned with your purpose
• When fear arises, thank it for trying to protect you rather than fighting against it
• Like swimming, growth means leaving the safety of the shallow end to experience the thrill of the deep
• Your success doesn't threaten others—it shows them what's possible
• Fear appearing means you're doing something meaningful; it's a growth light, not a stop light
• Special reflection prompts include identifying where fear of success appears and writing new affirmations
• Use the new moon energy to commit to one small action or mindset shift this month
