Episode 07: Overcoming fear

Welcome to episode 07 of the Inner CEO Code Podcast!I’ve been loving receiving your messages on where and when you listen to this podcast - whether on your walk, in the car or during your lunchbreaks. So it’s time to get comfortable for a rather uncomfortable topic for this week’s epsiode: Overcoming your fear. You have that one situation, goal, person or even decision that causes that feeling of unease. That tight knot in your chest or stomach. That causes sweaty hands. And immediately your brain has something to say about it, too. Why you can’t make it and it’s too big/ambitious/risky for you. Convincing you that this is the wrong decision, delivering enough reasons why it might be just like that.But our brains are also lying to us and filter out main evidence that would contradict our biggest fears. With 60.000 to 80.000 thoughts per day our brains repeat 85% of the thoughts from the previous day. If we look at our fears from that perspective, it becomes quite quickly clear, why overcoming our fears sometimes feel impossible. Because we unconsciously fed these old beliefs based on past experiences.And it’s understandable. Because our system tries to protect us from the free fall. At least that’s what it feels like for many of us.The bad news? If you want to grow and expand your comfort zone you’ll face certain fears at some point. There’s no shortcut.The good news? We can use that feeling and learn to turn it into power to push through. First with small steps, then through repeated actions.That’s the technique the most successful people in the world are using too. If they can do it, so can you. Let’s go through it together!In this episode you’ll get:* An invitation to locate fear also on a physical level* Reasons why fear is not only bad* Insights on why your brain treats fear like a free fall * Why there’s only one way out and you need the right equipment to do so* Encouraged to overthink the best case scenariosImperfect, but perfectly me.I hope you enjoy.Thank you for being here.With joy, LisaMusic credits: TVARI Get full access to Lisa Rosato at collectiveanchors.substack.com/subscribe
