Hi Dr. Scott Zarcinas (aka DoctorZed) here, Founder of 818: Unlocking Your Life.

Over the years I’ve noticed three main types of fear that hold my clients back from reaching their full potential and experiencing true happiness.

These 3 predominant fears—fear of failure, rejection, and change—negatively affect our choices and behaviors, impacting our ability to live fulfilling lives and achieve our goals.

Liberation from these fears is crucial for our mental and emotional well-being, as well as our capacity to fully engage with life and pursue our passions and dreams.

1/ Fear of Failure:

The fear of failure stems from the belief that making mistakes or falling short of expectations will result in ridicule, mockery, or disappointment.

It is often fueled by the need for perfectionism and a desire to avoid judgement from others.

This can manifest as procrastination or avoidance behaviour, thus hindering personal growth and achievement.

2/ Fear of Rejection:

The fear of rejection arises from a deep-seated need for acceptance and belonging.

It stems from the fear of being judged, abandoned, or ostracised by others.

This can lead to self-imposed isolation and reluctance to take risks in relationships or to pursue opportunities.

3/ Fear of Change:

The fear of change is rooted in uncertainty and a reluctance to step outside our comfort zones.

It arises from the fear of the unknown and the belief that change will bring discomfort or upheaval.

This fear can prevent us from embracing new experiences or opportunities, keeping us stuck in familiar but stagnant patterns.

What You Can Do: Reframe Your Fears, Regain Your Life

To free yourself from these fears, start by challenging the underlying beliefs that fuel them by ‘reframing’ them:

1/ Reframe Failure as Feedback:

Instead of viewing failure as a reflection of your worth or abilities, reframe it as valuable feedback that can guide future efforts.

Then you can see failure as a stepping stone towards success rather than a roadblock.

2/ Reframe Rejection as Redirection:

Instead of internalising rejection as a personal failure, reframe it as redirection toward paths better suited to your growth and happiness.

Trust that rejection often leads to new opportunities and experiences aligned with your true desires.

When rejection is embraced as a catalyst for growth rather than a setback, you cultivate resilience and diminish its power over you.

3/ Reframe Change as a Benefit:

When you shift your focus from the potential drawbacks of change to the opportunities it presents for personal growth and fulfillment (e.g. visualise the positive outcomes that may result from change, such as learning new skills, expanding your horizons, and discovering new passions), you reframe change as an exciting adventure rather than a threat and thereby cultivate a sense of optimism and anticipation.
