Yesterday, I started off by explaining the basic concepts behind fear of success, as well as the negative thoughts and behavior patterns it leads to.
So, what can we do to curb the phobia? There a few techniques you can put into practice immediately in order to break the negative cycles and build more confidence:
1. Compliment the successes of others. Acknowledging the accomplishments of those around you will not only build up their sense of worth, but it’ll get your mindset focused on success as well.
2. Say, “Thank you” when someone compliments you. You’ll soon notice that these compliments will begin to positively affect the way you see yourself, instead of relying on false and imagined negative scenarios.
3. When you find yourself in a situation where you’re surrounded by people (or even with just one person) who aren’t experiencing their desired levels of success in their lives, don’t fall into the trap of shrinking to a lower level so that they won’t feel insecure. Know that you were born to achieve everything you want in life, and when you exude this kind of attitude, you’ll show others that they were born to do the same.
