Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everyone, welcome back to less dopamine, more discipline. It's
your boy Jackson read here, And I gotta ask who
else feels like fear and doubt? Are these little gremlins
whispering in their ear twenty four to seven, Like, Yeah,
you can totally nail that presentation, or maybe you'll bomb spectacularly.
You should totally start that business unless it all falls apart.

(00:21):
Am I Right? You know that feeling when your mind
starts playing those what if scenarios and suddenly the coolest,
most daring ideas seem scarier than a horror movie marathon.
Today we're diving headfirst into the fear and doubt monster.
We're not gonna shy away from it. We're gonna unpack it,
understand its tricks, and learn how to manage these feelings
so they don't hijack our lives. First things first, let's

(00:44):
acknowledge that fear and doubt are completely normal. They're part
of the human experience. Think about it. Even the bravest
astronauts get butterflies before launch. Right. But here's the thing.
Fear and doubt become a problem when they start dictating
our actions instead of inspiring us. Take a minute and
think back to a time when you let fear hold
you back from something you really wanted. Maybe it was

(01:06):
that dream job, starting your own project, or even just
saying yes to an adventure. What happened? Did you miss
out on something incredible because of those pesky gremlins whispering
in your ear? It's a bummer, right, So how do
we silence these negative voices and step into our power?
Here are five key takeaways that can help one recognize

(01:27):
your fear triggers. What sets off your anxiety alarm? Is
it public speaking, financial risks? Maybe it's the fear of
failure itself. Identifying your triggers is the first step in
breaking free from their grip. Two. Challenge those negative thoughts.
When those what if scenarios start popping up, don't just
accept them as truth. Ask yourself, is this thought really

(01:48):
based on facts or is it just my imagination running wild?
Often we let fear amplify small worries into huge monsters
in our minds. Three, reframe your perspective. Look at challenges
as i opportunities for growth instead of insurmountable obstacles. Think
about a time when you overcame a difficult situation How
did that experience make you stronger? Remember every failure is

(02:11):
a chance to learn and come back even better. Four.
Focus on what you can control. You can't control everything
in life, but you can control your reactions. Instead of
dwelling on the things outside your influence, focus your energy
on taking action in areas where you have power. Five.
Celebrate your small wins. Don't underestimate the power of acknowledging

(02:31):
your progress. Every step forward, no matter how small, is
a victory worth celebrating. Let's talk about a real world
example to make this all more tangible. Imagine Sarah who
dreams of becoming a writer but keeps getting stuck in
a cycle of fear and doubt. She has amazing stories
to tell, but every time she tries to start writing,
those pesky gremlins whisper who are you kidding? Your writing

(02:54):
is terrible? Or nobody wants to read your stuff? Sounds familiar.
This is where our takeaways come come into play. Sarah
can start by recognizing that her fear of judgment is
a common trigger. She can challenge those negative thoughts by
reminding herself that everyone starts somewhere and that even famous
authors faced rejection before they found success. Reframing her perspective,

(03:15):
she could see writing as a journey of self discovery
and growth, not just about producing a perfect final product.
By focusing on completing small writing goals each day, she
celebrates every word she writes and gradually builds confidence in
her abilities. Remember, fear and doubt are natural human experiences,
but they don't have to control your life. By recognizing

(03:35):
your triggers, challenging negative thoughts, reframing your perspective, focusing on
what you can control, and celebrating small wins, you can
learn to manage these feelings and step into your power.
