584: Fear of Failure and FOMO – Incomplete Truths

Fear of failure and fear of missing out (FOMO) reflect incomplete truths – emotional corners of the truth – and we can overcome them! I’ve been having a lot of conversations with clients about fear and today we’re breaking it down so we can set ourselves free!

[smart_track_player url=”http://traffic.libsyn.com/primalpotential/584_fear_is_a_liar.mp3″ background=”#00ccbb” social_email=”true” ]

Questions from Today’s Episode:

  • What’s possible?
  • What stories do you tell yourself (or excuses do you sell yourself) that talk you out of your potential?
  • What else is true?

Fear is a liar because you are in control! You create your results! Fear of failure is a liar because you have the power of choice! You don’t have to fear failure because you control it with your own actions! The fear is a distraction!

Instead of submitting to the fear, challenge it with those questions. Instead of limiting yourself to the boundaries of your fears, choose to press on in spite of any fears.

“The fears you don’t face become your limits.” ~ Robin Sharma

580: Change Maker Part 2: Alignment & Positive Affirmations

Do positive affirmations really work or are they just wishful thinking? Simple answer: it depends on you.

Yesterday, we kicked off this Change Maker series on the podcast with Part 1 on awareness. Today, we’re tackling the second pillar of change: alignment.

Alignment is about making sure that your intentions (what you want) and your attention (what you’re focused on) are in sync. When they aren’t in sync, you will experience excuses & inconsistency.

[smart_track_player url=”http://traffic.libsyn.com/primalpotential/580_alignment.mp3″ background=”#00ccbb” social_email=”true” ]

While there are many tools we use within the 12 Weeks to Transformation to create alignment, one of the simplest and most effective (when done right) include positive affirmations. In fact, I just did an episode about how affirmations related to money have been changing the game for me lately.

Here are a couple of my favorite affirmations and you can hear more in episode 577.

Fear is a liar because I am in control.

I create the results I want.

You cannot and will not make sustainable change without awareness. There is no denying that the most critical cornerstone of change is increased awareness.

In today’s episode we’re talking about what awareness actually means, how we can increase it and what behaviors and patterns reduce it.

No matter what change you want to create in your life, this is the most critical pattern to establish!
