Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway
I remember being intrigued by this statement when I was a kid. I didn’t get it, but now I understand that fear can be fun. I'm not particularly extreme, but I do enjoy some recreational fear from time to time. I enjoy finding out where my boundaries are and then taking a little peek beyond them, just to see how I will cope, and there are often many great rewards there in that great beyond.
As a kid I used to have regular dreams of flying and being able to breathe underwater. As an adult I found a way to live those dreams. I've spent three summers of my life skydiving during which time I learned to somersault out of an aeroplane, I saw my shadow on a cloud, learned to fly and land a parachute with a degree of elegance, rolled backwards out of a helicopter and met some great people. My holidays of choice now are snowboarding or scuba diving, and I have recently done a freediving course.
The barriers that I had to cross in order to learn each of these things were not particularly immense for me, but there are other barriers that I have not been willing to cross. Fear is an important part of risk assessment, but once you have done that risk assessment an incapacitating fear is not necessary.
Fear's purpose is to keep you safe, but sometimes you do not want to be completely safe.
If there is a sport or an activity that seems extreme to you – you want to learn but cannot bring yourself to do so because fear or doubt is just screaming at you inside saying 'no way!' please get in touch as I can probably get you started.
If you used to do a sport or activity but had an experience that instilled fear or doubt that is preventing you from getting back in to it, please get in touch and we will see if we can clear the overthinking that is getting in your way.
I'm not proposing that we turn you into a complete kamikaze or numb you to your own survival instinct. I'd just like to give you the opportunity to make your own decisions again without a crippling, overprotective emotion firing off automatically and ruining all the fun. I'm talking about getting you to a point where you can make your own risk assessment and minimise the fear, if not get rid of it completely, so that you can feel the fear and do it anyway. The fear is part of the fun after all.
We do not need to meet face to face for me to be able to help you, so it doesn’t matter where you are in the world. I have done many successful Skype and Zoom sessions. If you are local come and visit.
