Fear, whether conscious or subconscious, holds most back in life. It’s very much like a boat’s mooring lines, tethering you to the dock, preventing you from venturing too far in life. The key to overcoming fear is to lean in just a little, to loosen those mooring lines a little every day, permitting you to venture a little bit further. Leaning in allows you to face your fear incrementally, day by day, bit by bit, until your confidence grows to the point when you are able to cut those lines and free yourself from your fear. Make a list of your top five biggest fears. Each day take on just one of those fears by doing something small that forces you to face that fear. Any fear can be overcome in time if you just lean in a little every day. It helps you form the habit of overcoming fear and as your confidence grows, your fear will lessen. Lean in, just a little today.
