7 Ways to Trick Yourself Into Being Brave
When you do not want to be brave but must…
All of us are meant to be brave.
We may not always feel like being brave, but we must face our fears in order to live a love fast live slow life. Fear sucks. It can be paralyzing. But God did not give us a spirit of fear. He gave us the power to be brave.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7
Perhaps the mistake we make is relying 100% on ourselves to plow through scary times. To help you (me) overcome, here are 7 ways to trick yourself into being brave:
1. Own it (Admit it, always first step)
2. Tame it (is it really life threatening or just a little scary?)
3. Name it (Who is telling you this thing is scary?)
4. Flip it (What is the worst that could happen?)
5. Embody it (Take a deep breath. You are braver than you realize)
6. Risk it (Trust God and take the leap)
7. Build it (Keep going outside your comfort zone to stretch yourself)
These 7 tips are from a great article at Success.com, find entire article here
Not everything God calls us to do will be within our comfort zone. As a matter of fact, rarely do growth and comfort live in the same space.
