ADVICE

Overcoming Fear

Summary: Ed Mylett discusses how to overcome fear by expanding your context and moving your body.

💡 Expand your context: Consider the bigger picture. When facing fear, think about what truly matters in life and death situations. This can help diminish the fear's importance. Ask yourself, "What if this was the last time?" This question shifts perspective and encourages presence.
🏃 Move your body: Physical movement can counteract fear's physiological effects. When experiencing fear, engage in activities like walking, jumping jacks, push-ups, deep breathing, or laughing. This shifts your physiological state, making it difficult to experience negative emotions.
🤔 Get to the "big": Focus on the larger context of life and death. Trivial fears often fade when considering mortality.
🙏 Change your perception: Reframe fear as an opportunity. Shift from thinking "I have to" to "I get to." This changes the perspective from obligation to opportunity.

Key Takeaway: Expand your context, move your body, and reframe your thinking to overcome fear and be present.
