Fears and Phobias

I was recently sent a newsletter by Bradley Thompson about Fighting Fear Phenomenon.

It reads as follows:

This is Bradley Thompson from the Self-Development Newsletter
Fear is a powerful thing, isn't it?
http://www.tenminutecure.com/ It can keep you from experiencing the great outdoors.

It can stop you from mingling with other people.

It can prevent you from enjoying the wonders of nature.

It can hold you back from progressing with your career.

That's what I call POWER!

And yet, it's not the physical act that does the damage.It's not the spiders, the open spaces, heights, flying, crowds, speaking in public...It's the fear itself!It holds you in its grip and makes you incapable of doing the things you want to do.

Now this got me thinking

We all have fears and phobias - and don't try to deny it. wW mask them as dislikes and sometimes with disinterest. Other times our fears and phobias can clearly be seen.

Well I've realised the just like a fear and a phobia there are many aspects in our lives that have the same effect on our day to day living and breathing.

I injured my leg 30th August 2009. I was in a cast until Feb 2010. And although I can walk as normal. I am experiencing some serious problems with my feet. I have never been one for exercise and have somehow always found an excuse NOT to waste my hard earned rest at the end of the day. Having said that I have also not been "Tinkerbell" and have always been on the "cuddly" side. But as time passes I realise that enough is enough and that I have to put my "fear" of exercise aside and do something drastic. Just as a fear would, my weight is stopping me from going out and enjoying life, mingling with people, experiencing the great outdoors, progressing in various interests in my life and career. And yet is is more than just the physical me getting my lazy ass off the couch.

I have to first and foremost exercise my brain. If my brain and mindset is not up to the challenge the body is not going to follow.

I have to release the grip that my mind has on my body so that I can be capable of doing all the things I know that I can do.

Where I live there are the occasional gyms, but I am not one for exercising in public even though I know that maybe that would be the encouragment I need.

I have everything I need at my disposal. Treadmills, walkers, exercise belts and balls, dumb bells, skipping ropes, exercise charts and plans, and a husband who will support and encourage motivational speakers in my iPod and healthy eating plans. So what else do I need? Ah yes the will to change...

I'm getting there slowly but surely. I need to set myself small goals, that's about all i can manage for now. The larger goal is far too daughting and scary to comprehend. Baby steps.

So watch this space people.......... My plan is simple - There is going to be more of by there being less of me :) Until next time - I'm keeping the faith....
