Keep The Faith
Transform The Fear
Part 1
by Lorraine Cohen

Page: 1 2

To what extent does fear rule your life? In my coaching practice, fear often emerges when clients envision change and take steps to bring those changes into reality. Familiarity fosters comfort and safety; therefore, growth may be perceived as frightening.

Recognizing some of the subtleties of fear takes a bit of detective work. Forms of fear include: procrastination, the need to be in control, anger (which can be a cover for other emotions such as helplessness or powerlessness), isolation, induced illness, rationalizing, and blaming. Getting under the reaction unveils the fear.

One of my coaching clients was feeling stuck and overwhelmed. He continually came to a point in his growth and went no farther. He felt a duality inside. One part of him yearned to take a leap, another part convinced him to stop -- his life was pretty good, right? At the root of his inertia was fear. He could stay in his fear, or take his life to the next level. He made the choice to work through his fear.

His first point of resistance to change was his fear of commitment and structure. For him, this meant being trapped. A pivotal shift occurred when he redefined his perception of commitment and structure.

In our talks, he discovered he had already successfully committed to his lifestyle (structure) of avoidance. This clarity created a shift. Something he had wanted to do for years was to offer monthly talks to his clients.

Committing to schedule the talks within a specific time frame was his first step. One month later, he presented his talk to a highly receptive audience. By giving himself choice, focusing on the present, and taking a risk in fear, he began to dismantle his fears.

I have found these to be successful practices to help transform fear:

Practice daily gratitude -- Recognizing your daily blessings, both big and small, evokes peace and trust. Expressing gratitude generates joyful thoughts and feelings. Put your attention on the glass half full rather than the glass half empty.

I recommend writing in a daily gratitude journal. Taking time to list gifts and blessings uplifts the spirit. Challenge yourself to transform negativity by finding gratitude in the most difficult situations. And, throughout the day, purposefully acknowledge what you are grateful for, silently or to others. Share the joy.

Be in faith -- Put your trust in your spiritual beliefs, Your own personal history is a reflection of the love and gifts you recognize as coming from the Divine.

At times of doubt and fear, trust your faith and inner wisdom for clarity and perspective. Gratitude, meditation, prayers, asking the Universe for love, support, and guidance -- whatever connects you with Spirit is a source of comfort and strength. In trust, there is no fear.
