"Failure is a detour, not a
dead-end street"
-
Zig Ziglar
If
fear of failure is the greatest single obstacle to success and happiness in life,
and
no real success is
possible without overcoming your fear of failure,
then...
What would you
do if you knew you could not fail?
Or,
more appropriately, what would you do if you knew you would never again be
afraid to fail?
That
is precisely what this very powerful protocol
will help you with...
Typically, when we
think of the fear of failure, we assume that it is all about being terrified of
failing at something.
But, in reality, it is frequently just an underlying
fear of being put in a situation where failure is a
possibility
that actually causes the problems. That is because there are consequences to
failing, such as losing potential
opportunities, or losing money, or you're worried that somebody might think of
you as a failure or a loser.
Therefore, whenever we are involved in such situations where the possibility of
failing exists, we will often do
whatever we can to avoid the situation, often by sabotaging our own best efforts
to get there.
So, in order for you to clear out your fear of failure, you REALLY need to
clear out the underlying fear of
being afraid to fail. And, if you are no longer afraid to fail, then NOTHING
will ever truly be impossible for you!

Protocol for
Eliminating
Your Fear of Failure By:
Removing Your Fear of Being in Situations
Where Failure is a Possibility
Here you will work to neutralize your fear being
afraid of failing at
whatever you choose to do throughout your life!
DO
THIS FIRST:
Make a list of every situation, related to your sport or activity, that you
could be involved in --
where you might feel afraid of failing. (List as many
fear of failure situations as you can think of)
Don't be afraid to add something to the list if it feels fearful to you.
Please try to be as specific as
possible. And just remember....
THERE ARE NO WRONG
ANSWERS!!!
Start each statement in your list with the letter
--
I
I've given you several good examples so you will know exactly what
you need to do.
You are welcome to use
these stressful examples in your list, and add more of your own.
These examples are offered to help REMIND you of many different
types of common stressful issues.
You SHOULD STILL
work through all of these examples even if they do not directly
apply to your own situation.
Also, wherever you see a
blank spot in a phrase, such as __________, please fill in the blank
your own appropriate response - if possible (and if it is
applicable).
|
What
situations could I be involved in that would make me feel afraid of
failing?
I feel all this intense anxiousness with everybody depending on me
to ________,
I feel so much fear about blowing my big chance to _________,
I feel all this fear of losing ________,
I am afraid of being the big failure,
I feel so afraid of having to ________ for my team,
I worry about having to be perfect when it comes to _______,
I am afraid of being put in a situation where I have to _______,
I am afraid I won't know what to do if I ever have to _______,
I don't feel very confident in myself and my abilities when it comes
to ________,
I just wish this _______ was over,
I worry about not being able to _______ when necessary,
I am worried that I will freeze up when I have to _______,
I am worried about messing up in front of my ________,
I keep questioning my abilities at ________,
I feel so self conscious with everyone watching me _______,
I don't know if I am good enough to handle being _________,
I keep sabotaging my chances of ________,
I often feel like I don't measure up,
I still feel some of this remaining stress from ________,
Please
add more of your own examples to this list
(also add non-sports-related, personal fears of failure). |
NOTE:
Whenever you clear out the anxious intensity from the negative aspects of an issue,
it can be extremely helpful if you replace that negative issue with
an empowering, positive CHOICE statement
(a.k.a.
a
Power-Phrase).
And, there is nothing more empowering than making a definitive
choice to do something. That is why this next step gives you a
positive-choice affirmation -- immediately following the removal of
your negative emotions, caused by a
negative issue, using the special anxiety-clearing exercises in this
course.
PLUS, this step
will help to make it a permanent habit for you to automatically LINK
a positive thought to any negative issue, so that whenever something
negative happens to you, a positive thought will immediately and
automatically pop into your mind -- instead of a negative thought! |
DO
THIS SECOND:
Create Your
Power-Phrases...
Write
"Even though"
in front of each of your statements,
and
add 87654321 after your statements.
Then, add the following words to the end of your
statement:
"I
CHOOSE to accept
complete responsibility for
whatever happens!"
For example:
If your statement was..."I
am afraid everybody will think I am a failure."
Your new statement would then become:
"Even
though
I am afraid everybody will think I am a failure,
87654321
"I
CHOOSE to accept
complete responsibility for
whatever happens!"
Do
that for every issue statement in your list from above.
You are welcome to modify the positive choice
Power-Phrases
so they are more applicable to your
own specific needs.
Just make sure every statement is positive, personal,
and in the present tense (as though it is already happening now).
.
DO THIS THIRD:
Perform Your Power-Count8
Procedure
And remember, this works the same way as anything else, the more repetitions
you do,
the better your results will be!
|
.
Step 1
Select a statement from your list above, and
mentally visualize (imagine)
yourself feeling the stressful intensity that you WOULD feel if that
issue was actually happening to you right now!
Step 2
Notice how much stressful anxiety you feel when you imagine yourself
actually being exposed to that issue.
Then, give that level of stressful anxiety a number rating between 0
- 10...
(with 0 meaning that you feel no anxiety; and 10 meaning that you
feel extremely high anxiety).
Write this number next to that statement on your list.
Step 3
Concentrate Deeply
on
the issue, and count backward from 8, until your emotional
distress has
been reduced down to nothing
(or when your number rating drops to ZERO)!
You will need to CONCENTRATE DEEPLY on how each issue makes you FEEL
(that means --
getting
your anxiety soaring to high levels)...then counting backward from
8.
Remember to take a DEEP breath in through your nose,
and exhale
slowly through your mouth!
REMINDER...
If there are any examples listed that do NOT cause you
to feel any anxiety or stress, then
simply clear through each one of
those examples as though you DO feel (just pretend) anxiety and
stress
from them. Count backward from 8 for each one of those examples. Doing this will help to insure
that you
will be less likely to be affected by those issues at some
point in the future!
Step
4
Now, check to see how you feel about that issue.
Notice if the anxiety you
now feel from that issue has decreased from how it felt before you
started. If you still feel some remaining anxiety from the
issue, give it a number on the 0 - 10 point scale. If it is above a
0 (zero), then you should do additional rounds of
the backward counting.
Your goal is to reduce
your anxiety all the way down to zero
(no anxiety remaining)
by repeating this process.
Keep repeating this process until you no
longer feel any anxiety from each issue you've listed.
Doing this will break the
neuro-connections between the negative
THOUGHTS
in your mind, and the FEELINGS
in your nervous system -
throughout your body!
You will gain positive results for some issues much faster than you
will for other issues.
So, just be patient, and your results will come for you.
This
is a process, NOT an event! |
IMPORTANT:
.
|
You SHOULD STILL
work through EVERY example
I've given you...even if that issue doesn't directly apply
to your own situation.
There often tends to be some commonality between many of the various
negative issues. Therefore you will also gain tremendous benefits by
clearing EVERY issue example listed
above. The more unwanted
neuro-connections you break, the overall better you will feel.
Doing this will help to insure that you will be less likely to be
affected by those issues at some point in the future!
It is this repeated use, while concentrating on the issue, that
gradually weakens and reduces your stress and anxiety levels down to
zero: Repeated
counting weakens the amount of emotional intensity you feel from
your negative issues. Each round whittles away more and more
of the negative emotional connection between your brain and your
body, so that the negative emotions will no longer have any affect
on you.
And then, we basically "rewire" your brain by replacing that
negative thought with a positive affirmation, which we 'cement into
place' by repeating over and over. This is VERY
effective!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE...
It is very common for
other thoughts or emotions to pop into your mind while you're
backward counting.
While you're doing the exercises, you will likely discover
all kinds of new, unrealized thoughts and emotions that may have
been buried deep within your subconscious mind for years...possibly
even since your early childhood.
If at anytime, while you're working through any of the exercises in
this course, you notice any other negative thoughts or
stressful emotions popping up, even if they do not directly apply to
the particular exercise you're working on at the moment, then
you should write them down, and take
some extra time to backward count for all of those negative issues, as
soon as possible!
It's THOSE negative thoughts and emotions that will get in your way
as you go forward in life! |
This
PowerCount8
methodology is so forgiving that you literally cannot get it wrong.
As long as you
are counting backward from 8, while you're concentrating on an issue,
it's working for you!
So, just keep counting
everyday!
It WORKS!
