Overcoming Fear Worksheet on One Page

Our fears are deeply buried and anchored within us. Typically, we need to repeatedly bring awareness to our experience to free ourselves from fear’s grip. This overcoming fear process helps us become aware of the deeper issues and sources of our fear, thereby loosening its hold on us.

1. What are you afraid of? Write your answer in Box 1. If you are not clear, you may want to scan the Fears List to identify your top fears.
2. Fully feel the fear. Allow it to be there – do your best to let go of resistance. When you sit with it, what messages do you get? What other emotions do you feel? What thoughts arise? What happens when you allow yourself to actually feel your fear? Write your notes on a separate piece of paper and summarize them in Box 2.
3. How does being afraid benefit you? What are you protecting? How does it help you deal with life? Do you really want this help any more or are you ready to move on? Write the benefits in Box 3.
4. Ideally, what would you prefer to experience? What does your fear stop you from being or doing? What opportunities are you missing? What are your goals around overcoming this fear? Focus on what you want and describe it in Box 4.
5. View your fear from a higher perspective. How does your fear serve your growth? What is the greater purpose of your experience? Breathe light and love into your fear situation. Write your notes on a separate piece of paper and summarize them in Box 5.
6. What do you need to DO to move towards what you want? Fear immobilizes us so moving into action helps us move through fear. Brainstorm ideas for bringing your goals to life and list them in Box 6.
7. From the ideas in Box 6, create an action plan to move you towards what you want. Set target dates for each step. Use Be Smart Goals to support you in implementing your plan. Take baby steps, if necessary. Start now to do things differently.
8. Who can support you in going for what you want? Get at least one friend or mentor on board.
9. Give thanks for your insights and learning. Whenever we focus on gratitude, fear is no longer an issue. Maintain a Gratitude Journal. In Box 9 list at least 5 things you are grateful for.
   
   To gradually release chronic fear from your life, keep reviewing, anchoring and deepening the above ‘overcoming fear’ process. Be alert for warning signals and resistances. Open to the possibility that all is unfolding perfectly. Track signs of change. A great way to stay on top of ongoing results is to set up a daily tracking form to track what is important to you.
