Fear Factor on Your Self-Improvement Journey

Have you ever wonder is fear good or bad when it comes to self-improvement?
To determine if fear is a good companion or bad one you need to examine if it is motivating you or keeping you back from achieving your self-improvement goal. Fear that is good is apparent before you decision to self-improve and fear that is bad occurs as you are trying to achieve your self-improvement goal.
Fear can be a good companion if it motivates you to start improving yourself. Fear of not being promoted can motivate you to work harder. Fear of having a heart attack can motivate you to start exercise regularly. Fear of not being able to earn enough money can motivate you study harder.
Fear can also be a bad and unwelcome companion on your journey towards self-improvement. You must learn to say no to allowing fear on your journey. Fear can stop you from taking your journey or completing it. You must develop some psychological tools to deal with fear if you are going to be successful at achieving your self-improvement goal. Psychology plays a very important role in overcoming any problem including those posed by fear.
Psychologically you must arm yourself with all the reasons why you decided to go on your self-improvement journey. List the reasons and read them out loud.
Are the reasons still valid? Do you still desire to achieve your self-improvement goal? Fear can make it impossible to take a chance or to take the required actions needed in order to achieve your goal.
4 psychological tips to help you overcome fear:


Make a list of all of the positive results that will be achieved when you reach your self-improvement goal. The results can be health benefits, being able to fit into a smaller size of clothing, looking better, etc.
Picture someone else who has already achieved what you are trying to do. Knowing that someone else can achieve your goal can give you a psychological incentive to do so too.
Make a list of the things that could happen to you if you do not achieve your self-improvement goal. How much would you lose if these things happened?
Now picture yourself after you have successfully completed all the steps necessary to achieve your self-improvement goal. What do you look like? How is your life different?

You can overcome fear and successfully say no to this unwelcome companion if you use psychology as a tool.
Fear that motivates you to start a self-improvement project is good and fear that stops you from achieving your self-improvement goal is bad. Only you can tell if the fear you are experiencing will motivate your self-improvement or hinder it.
