"...fear knocks the cup of success from your lips just when you are about to drink"

[Fear, Dr. Frank Crane, 1921] 🔥 Powerful 🔥

On Jan 20, Monday's episode of the Russell Brunson Show, Russell gives us some insight on Fear and shares with us some wisdom from Dr. Frank Crane. It's true fear can motivate us to move away from danger or pain, but we must choose to shift that energy from fear to one of hope (or faith). This is why "future pacing" is so critical. Until we move and take action on what we desire, fear will continue to divert us even if we feel energized or as Dr. Crane states, "no good work is done in fear." Wow.

So, how do we shift that energy? Well in this podcast we learn 4 Practical Strategies and "the tools to face it and move forward." From reframing to facing the worst case-scenarios, these are some powerful tools to shift your thinking and your feelings or energy.

I like 'reframing' and I found it interesting to find that fear and excitement both release the same neurochemicals. It is the story or meaning we put to the situation that will determine if we perceive it as fear or excitement.

That makes sense to me why fear seems different than excitement. When I think an event may bring loss or pain, I tend to notice "fear" - as the feelings are more in my lower abdomen and I brace or tighten. If I am more curious (open to not knowing) and think this could be fun, I tend to breathe freely and feel more open and feel it as an expansion in upper abdomen or chest area.

So, How do you shift or thoughts from fear to excitement?

I like to shift my body awareness first with breathing. Then I follow through with observing, then questioning my perception/thoughts about the situation. We know whatever we tell ourselves, our brain will seek evidence to prove it correct. Hmmm, so what do I want to find and experience more of - fear or excitement?
