Fear is Everywhere Right Now—How Do We Overcome It?
The number one question I’ve received in the last 90 days is:
"How do I suspend fear?"
People are scared. Scared about their future, the economy, their dreams, and their ability to create the life they want.
We hear all kinds of conflicting advice on fear:
"Fear isn’t real."
"Just think positive."
"It’s just ‘False Evidence Appearing Real.’"
But let’s be real—does any of that actually help?
Fear is absolutely real. It paralyzes us, keeps us stuck, and hijacks our nervous system. The good news? Fear can be overcome, and you can develop a zero-tolerance policy for it.
Understanding Fear: How It Works in Your Brain
Fear isn’t just a mindset issue—it’s a biological response.
The amygdala, a tiny organ in the middle of your brain, immediately reacts to fear.
Your nervous system goes into high alert.
Your body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.
Your heart rate and blood pressure skyrocket.
This response was designed to protect us—but in today’s world, it often holds us back.
When fear takes over, we lose the ability to think clearly. Instead of moving forward, we freeze, overthink, or retreat.
But here’s the truth:
💡 You don’t have to eliminate fear completely to take action.💡 If you reduce fear by even 50%, you can move forward.💡 Fear can become fuel for courageous moments.
What Doesn’t Work (And What Does)
You’ve probably tried:
❌ "Calm down." – When has that ever worked when you’re in full panic mode?
❌ "Think positive." – But how do you shift your mindset when your brain is in survival mode?
The real key is to train yourself to respond to fear differently—to transform fear into courage.
How to Reframe Fear as a Courageous Opportunity
Think about some of the best moments of your life—the breakthroughs, the successes, the moments that changed everything.
What came right before them?
Butterflies in your stomach.Your heart racing.That mix of fear and excitement.
These aren’t signs to run away—they are signs you are stepping into something powerful.
Fear doesn’t mean stop—it means this moment requires courage.
When you start to pursue courageous moments instead of running from fear, everything changes.
7 Strategies to Overcome Fear and Take Action
1. Follow Fear to Its Logical Conclusion
Run your fear all the way to the end.
What’s the worst-case scenario?
How likely is it to happen?
Even if it does, could you handle it?
Most of the time, our fears are far worse in our imagination than in reality.
When we name our fears and bring them into the light, they lose their power.
2. Transform Fear Into Excitement
Fear and excitement feel the same in your body—the difference is how you interpret them.
When you do something scary (public speaking, starting a business, making a big move), your body releases dopamine and adrenaline.
If you overcome fear once, your brain remembers. Each courageous action makes the next one easier.
3. Borrow Faith From Someone Else
If you’re struggling with fear, get around people who have already overcome it.
Listen to their stories.
Watch how they move through fear.
Let their courage fuel your own.
When someone has faced what you’re afraid of and conquered it, they create a path for you to follow.
4. Rename the Trigger
Instead of calling it fear, call it a courageous moment.
Your words shape your reality.
When you rename fear as an opportunity to be brave, your brain shifts from panic mode to problem-solving mode.
5. Visualize Your Victory
Create a highlight reel in your mind of:
Every fear you’ve faced and conquered.
Every time you stepped up despite uncertainty.
Every victory, big or small.
Your brain doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined experiences. If you see yourself winning, you’ll believe it’s possible.
6. Write Down Your Fears
When you write your fears down, they lose power.
What exactly are you afraid of?
What’s true vs. what’s just a fear-based story?
What would happen if you faced it head-on?
Seeing your fears on paper shifts your perspective and helps you reframe them.
7. Use Humor
Fear thrives in seriousness.
When you can laugh at yourself, fear shrinks.
Play out your fear in the most ridiculous way possible.
Make it into a funny story.
Shift from panic to playfulness.
Fear hates humor—use it to disarm the fear loop.
Your Breakthrough is on the Other Side of Fear
Fear is real—but so is your ability to overcome it.
💡 Every great thing in life requires a courageous moment.💡 Your biggest test will become your greatest testimony.💡 Your fear isn’t a stop sign—it’s a signal that something amazing is waiting on the other side.
