6 Steps to OVERCOMING Self Doubt And CONQUERING Your Fears! | Lewis Howes

Positive Techniques

Transforming anxiety into a positive force begins with understanding its triggers. Lewis Howes suggests writing down three to five known anxiety triggers and describing recent thoughts or memories that evoke these feelings 1. This exercise helps condition our resilience muscles by allowing us to sit with and survive these emotions.

You'll probably start to feel positive just by doing this exercise. You might even find yourself with a big smile on your face as you write.

By pairing anxiety with joyful memories and scents, we can create an action plan to counteract anxiety triggers, focusing on positive abundance rather than negative scarcity 2.

   

Limiting Beliefs

Identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs is crucial for conquering anxiety. Lewis Howes advises using 'if-then' statements to explore fears, such as public speaking, and to uncover the true sources of these fears 3. This process helps shift from scarcity to abundance thinking, enabling us to embrace action over overthinking.

We have to move from I can't to I will from I don't know how to to I did it anyway.

By formulating fears and choosing abundance, we can halt overthinking and gain traction in our meaningful missions 4.
