Overcoming Resistance and Fear

Another of the core components to achieving rapid success is overcoming resistance to change or overcoming your fears that block you. This does not mean you don’t have fear. It’s just you still keep moving.

Even the thought of fear can sometimes block people. What you have to do is reprogram your mind to eliminate whatever those fears are that are popping up. Just like that client overcoming the panic and anxiety attacks.

When you begin to focus on what you want, and you begin to move through resistance, you begin to build those large axon pathways that can carry you into a better tomorrow.

Do you ever procrastinate? Sure, we all do sometimes. We put things off. For whatever reason we sometimes wait, we hesitate, we don’t do what we need to. Well, there’s only a few things that procrastination results from.

Procrastination

Nearly all procrastination comes from one of the following: 1) a lack of knowledge or skill; 2) a fear—whether real or imagined; 3) something is too big, it’s overwhelming; or 4) because it’s not broken down into manageable, doable steps or chunks.

For just a moment let’s look at each one of them because these can inhibit moving into a future that we desire.

Lack of knowledge or skill

Sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Sometimes it’s really tough. I one time heard that there are five stages to learning; there is: unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, conscious mastery, and finally unconscious mastery.

Unconscious incompetence basically means I don’t even know what I don’t know. It’s being really clueless. I just – I don’t even get it a bit.

Conscious incompetence is knowing there’s this thing and I barely understand but really have no skills at it. And, I am very aware I don’t have much skill there.

Conscious competence means that I’ve built some skills, and now when I’m working in this area with forethought, as I focus on it I can do it competently.

Conscious mastery is that without a lot of prompting, without a many things helping me along the way, that I really have good skills at this. I can move through it fairly easily with a decent level of competency. I don’t have to really struggle because it’s relatively clear in my mind. When I think about it, it comes to me fairly naturally.

Unconscious mastery is down in my core. It is now a part of who I am. It’s deep down inside of me and I don’t even have to think about it. It is an unconscious response that I just have this knowledge, this wisdom; this ability because I’ve built it that deeply.

So sometimes this lack of knowledge or skill that we talked about that is one of the component’s that gets in the way and generates procrastination. Sometimes lack of knowledge is unconscious incompetence. Sometimes I don’t even know what I don’t know. I just have this inkling there’s something I’m missing.

How do you move through that? You help yourself by reading and listening to CDs, by podcasts, by reading information on the Web or buying books, listening to CDs or tapes of experts who are doing things, or go to the therapist.

Think about this. If you were to read one hour a day on any subject, by the end of a year you would have grown a huge understanding of that subject. You would have an incredible body of knowledge in just one year!

Earl Nightingale, one of the most brilliant of the 20th Century motivators and speakers said, “If you were to read five books on any one topic, you’d probably know more about that topic area than 98% of the people alive. And, all you’d have to do is read five books.”

I agree with Mr. Nightingale. I think that if we took the time to build our knowledge to make it bigger, to really enhance what’s going on inside of us, it would give us a gigantic edge and we could move beyond that unconscious incompetence and step it up to a whole other level.
