Fear is usually, especially for me, is the main reason behind being stuck unable to move forward or afraid of taking risk. Fear of failure, fear of making mistakes, fear of looking foolish, fear of being blamed (the thing that I hate most) are different forms and excuses for not doing something, the end result is being stuck, prefering to stay in my confort zone.
Recently I decided to fight, I read about a book titled "Feel the fear and do it anyway" written by Susan Jeffers a renowned self help books writer, I subscribed to her newsletter a year ago and found them very useful and inspiring. So I decided to take an action and buy the book that I received one week later. Currently I am reading the book a first reading and I planned to finish it by end of this week and starting from next week I will start reading chapter by chapter again to apply the techniques on my coaching studies as I have a lot of fears in this area, I attend the classes without checking in, I am hesitant to post my reflections on the discussion board, I am unable to take a step toward starting to coach others. I am acquiring info and gaining knowledge but didn't apply what I learnt to my own life I feel more secure, more comfortable in my comfort zone, transition and change brings trouble in the begining until every thing is settled but until I get there I have to tolerate the consequences of the change, something that I think I am not ready for at the moment. My only hope is to be able to overcome my fears, feeling the fear and doing it anyway, and go ahead in my coaching jouney with the aid of Feel the fear concepts of Susan Jeffers.
