Top Ways to be Fearless

Remember the vision I shared a few posts back? It involved a fearless version of me. Now, the question is, what does it mean to be fearless? 

It means assurance. Confidence. When you are fearless you never doubt your own abilities. It means plunging into the unknown, taking risks, and living life the way it's meant to be lived. 

And lets not get confused. Only the risks taken for a reason, a good reason, can be categorized under true fearlessness.

In essence, it means you no longer live inside self imposed limitations.

Here are some top ways to become your own fearless vision:

1) Understand this simple concept: the more something is focused on, the higher the likelihood that it will manifest. Thinking too much about the worsts case scenario and focusing on the negative "what ifs" makes these unwanted outcomes occur. The idea is to no longer think or worry about these things and suddenly they will cease to be an issue.

2) Realize two things:

•   Worst case scenario probably will not happen
•   And well, if it does, it most likely won't be the end of the world.  If you don't try at all, you've already failed.  What was it Samuel Beckett said . . . "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

3) And the best and easiest way to be fearless is Fake it until you Make it! This concept actually works for many endeavors.

Put some sexy heels on, apply a thick coat of Dior show mascara (guys, just insert ego boosting activity here), smile, wink and say to yourself, "Nothing frightens me."

You'll eventually start to believe it. And that my friends is also what sexiness is all about.

Decide on a Vision.

Recently I had a vision of myself. I was fearless. Nothing frightened me, nothing made me hesitate, and I was definitely not afraid to fail. I had no doubts. No one's opinion mattered and I was completely driven from within.

Oh, and this is crucial, I was in heels.

It came to me while I was running at the gym, and made me feel so amazingly good that my workout was instantly supercharged.

And it still feels good.

I've been thinking about it ever since fearless me came to my consciousness in a pair of bad ass heels and this very thought seems to take me so far. Fearless me was hot, sexy, assured and most importantly, she was really freakin' happy. I love fearless me. I want to be fearless me. And I know I can be her. Just conjuring her up makes me smile and relax. Because if I'm fearless, what do I have to worry about? That's right, nothing at all.

It is one empowering vision.
