On the one hand, fear of failure on rare occasions can be helpful. So, for example, such fears can save you from some risky and dangerous business. On the other hand, constant stress and inner fear negatively affect life and personal development. It’s not worth running into this problem, so it’s useful to learn how to deal with the fear of failure.
At the very beginning of the path, which leads to getting rid of the problem, it is important to fully realize that attempts to escape from fear, sharp denial and rejection of their fears will only lead to negative consequences. The more diligently you close your eyes to the problem, the stronger the fear of possible failure becomes. However, falling into a state of complete humility and weak-willed acceptance is also not an option. You need to realize, admit to yourself that the problem exists, but find the strength inside yourself to solve it. Only in the case of a true desire to overcome the fear of failure will it be possible to achieve a result.
Very often, experiences and various fears are illusory. Very often a person creates such a thing out of nothing. Try to understand that this fear is not stronger than you, that it exists only because you yourself allow it to be. The more you avoid failure, the more you stray from the steps out of your comfort zone, the further you are from overcoming the problem.
Try to analyze the whole situation. Thoughtfully search for answers to the question of why exactly you developed this fear. What gave birth to it? At what point in time, after which she announced herself? Perhaps your parents in childhood did not believe in you and constantly reproached you, did not support any ideas and generally believed that nothing good would come of you? Or was there some stressful, critical moment in the past, after which the fear of failure settled inside? Perhaps the fear of failure arose because you do not consider yourself a worthy, capable person, because you are sure that any changes will only lead to negativity and problems? Finding the true root cause is essential in dealing with any fear.
Working on yourself, gradually, gradually try to change your views on the world. It may not be easy, but rest assured you have the strength and resources you need. Try to look even at the negative experience from an unsuccessful outcome exactly as an experience. Learn from your mistakes, remember, analyze your actions and actions, thoughts and feelings.
Challenge yourself. For at least one month, try not to avoid situations that cause you to fear failure. Accept the idea that the world will not collapse and life will not end if you decide on some action, and it suddenly fails. Always remember that success is often as likely as failure. You should not think ahead and set yourself up for an unfavorable development of events. Take small steps for thirty days, do not run away from fear and any situations. And then be sure to analyze the results.
Work on your self-esteem and your self-worth if you understand that inner comfort and how strong your feelings and fears will be depends on them.
Do not mark time. If you feel an acute desire to do something, to decide on something, listen to your intuition and do not ponder each action for a long time. By hesitating, you only feed your insecurity, which draws along with it the fear of a possible negative outcome of your planned business.
Read biographies of famous and successful people. Many of them will contain moments in which it is clearly seen that a person has not become popular and, again, successful at some point. Many wealthy people were just as afraid to take a step, but nevertheless they decided to do something like that. Many failed, but did not break under them, having learned to derive benefit and valuable experience from such.
Start small. It is impossible to build a whole city in one day. It is impossible for a person who has never been able to draw to become a professional artist in one day. On the way to the goal, in any case, there will be obstacles and difficulties. It takes time to learn something, to achieve something, to succeed in something. Try not to fuel your maximalism, inner impatience, or perfectionism.
Don't be in a hurry or worry for no apparent reason. Gradually, your view of the world will begin to change, you will be able to change your attitude to problems and negative situations, and then the fear of failure will dissolve.
