Anxiety affects many of us in different ways
Fear is a massive contributor towards anxiety
It holds us back from doing great things
Setting the bar high & achieving our goals
But what if fear could be harnessed for positive action..

The author was a special forces operative
Understandably, he’d suffer anxiety & fear in the weeks leading up to warzone deployment
He was safe in the UK with his family
But the anxiety of ‘going back’ would overwhelm him
This wasn’t sustainable
Something had to give..

He came up with a powerful method to combat fear
This was called ‘The Fear Bubble Technique’
Instead of worrying & procrastinating over what might happen
You breakdown what you’re actually fearing
And ring-fence it – put it in a ‘bubble’

You breakdown what you’re actually fearing
And ring-fence it – put it in a ‘bubble’
While your fear is in this bubble
You don’t need to think about it
You don’t need to worry about it
You don’t need to experience anxiety over it
It’s in that bubble
You control where that bubble is
You control when you choose to enter that bubble
You don’t need to think about it
You don’t need to worry about it
You don’t need to experience anxiety over it
It’s in that bubble

Your fear needs fuel to exist
You must feed it or it will die
It survives off your nervous energy
It’s similar to the energy adrenaline gives
Thrill-seekers find ways to actively invite this energy
They use this energy for positive experiences

Your energy is limited
If you channel it into the worry & anxiety in the run up to an event
Your supplies when you actually get there will be running low
You will become focussed on conservation
Not optimisation
This must be flipped

You can do this by shutting down the energy tap
And ramping it up when you enter the bubble
Your energy & focus can all be unleashed into overcoming your fear when it’s right in front of you
Not when you’re comfortably sat at home

You step into the bubble
Deal with the job in hand
If it becomes overwhelming
You step out, regroup & go again
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR

This is a powerful technique
But..
Preparation is key to successfully completing any difficult task
Often preparation can be put off
Due to the fear you’re experiencing in the lead up to the event itself
Your fear of the event can become a self-fulfilling prophesy
