Overcoming Fear To Follow Your Dreams

Following our dreams can be scary at times. Sometimes we run into roadblocks that hold us back. This meditation will help you to push past those roadblocks and give you the courage to chase after your dreams and push fear aside.

Transcript

Welcome to this day.

Welcome to a day of overcoming fears.

Wherever you are,

Take a nice deep inhale.

Exhale let that breath go.

Let's inhale courage and love.

And exhale fear and doubt.

Sometimes following our dreams can be scary.

It could be starting over at a new job when you've been there for years.

Maybe you are moving to a new country to follow your dreams.

Or maybe turning a hobby into a career.

Whatever your dream is,

There might be some fear behind it.

Fear that has held you back from moving forward.

It takes courage to go after our dreams,

And it takes a lot to face those fears.

Think of something new that you have tried.

Think of the outcome.

Whatever the outcome may have been,

You tried something new.

You didn't let fear get in the way.

You didn't let fear get in the way of your dreams.

If you haven't already,

Softly close your eyes.

Allow your breath to bring you into this moment.

Visualize yourself standing at the beginning of a long winding path.

Maybe it is a winding path that is going through a forest.

Or maybe it is a road.

Whatever it may be,

Picture yourself there.

At the end of this path is your dream.

The one thing you have been dreaming of your entire life.

Once you reach this dream,

You will feel that you have accomplished something huge in your life.

Start to walk down your path.

Notice the things around you.

As you walk down this path,

You bump into some roadblocks.

These roadblocks are your fears.

The first roadblock is someone that has told you not to follow your dreams or that your dream is not achievable.

Walk right past this roadblock and remind yourself that everything in life is achievable.

You have worked hard to get to this point in your life and there is no stopping you now.

You keep walking down your path and you hit the second roadblock.

This is your inner critic telling you to focus on your current situation and not to live in a fantasy world.

You hear your inner critic but say to yourself,

I will take my chances.

I want to make my dream a reality and you keep on walking.

A third roadblock comes up and this is the fear of change.

Whatever this fear of change is,

Remind yourself that change is a good thing.

Change allows you to grow and allows you to progress in the right direction,

In the direction of your dreams.

You keep walking down this winding path.

Maybe there are more roadblocks.

Whatever they may be,

Stand strong and remind yourself why you are chasing this dream in the first place.

You have now overcome all of your fears.

At this point,

Nothing can stop you.

Nothing will get in your way.

Anything that you have felt that has been holding you back,

No longer can.

Finally,

You make it to the end of the path.

Everyone who has supported you and who has been there for you is standing there celebrating you.

Stating the fact that you made your dreams come true.

Even with roadblocks,

We can still chase our dreams.

We can always make our dreams a reality.

There will always be people telling us that we can't or our inner critic voicing their opinion.

But deep down,

We know that we are capable of chasing those dreams.

Sometimes fear just wants to hold us accountable.

Fear wants to make sure that you really want it.

We tend to think of the worst case scenario and if that starts to happen,

Try and think of the best case scenario.

Fear is nothing more than a state of mind.

Whenever you start to fear something,

Bring awareness to that.

Talk yourself through it,

But try not to let fear stand in the way of your dreams.

Your dreams are yours and no one can take them away from you.

So don't let fear take your dream away either.

Judy Blume said,

Each of us must confront our own fears,

Must come face to face with them.

How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives.

To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it.

Seek adventure,

Seek out your dreams,

Follow your heart,

Do what makes you happy.

At the end of the day,

You have this one life to live.

Make sure that it is a life that you are proud of.

Imagine everyone in your life encouraged you to chase your dreams.

Imagine nothing ever held you back.

Imagine you never second guessed yourself.

What dreams would you chase then?

If you'd like,

Place your hands on your heart.

Repeat these affirmations out loud or in your mind and believe in every word that you were saying.

May I be brave enough to take chances.

My setbacks make me stronger.

I am capable of achieving my dreams.

I can handle anything that comes my way.

What I want is within my reach.

I am unstoppable.

Let these affirmations live within you and if there is a time where your fears start to come up,

Remember your dreams are worth chasing.

Thank you so much for being here and joining me on this journey.

May all of your fears turn into strength and may that strength allow you to follow your dreams.

This was so powerful I started crying. I hope to get a new job and move to another country but I am afraid of leaving behind my family. What if I am not there when they need me the most? But I still feel that I have to pursue my dream because no matter how much I love my family, I am unhappy with my life. It is a hard decision but I need to follow my dreams to become the person I wish to become. 🙏🩷

Wonderful!

What a gift of a meditation! Just what I needed to hear and be encompassed by this morning. Thank you. 🙏 ♥️✨

So glad this meditation found me. It was just what I needed right at this time. Thank you 🙏 ❤️

Great

Thank you so much for these beautiful words.. I needed to hear these words so badly. Will listen regularly to become more brave every day to chase my dreams. Thank you
🙏🌟

Fantastic!!

Thank you for reminding me how fear stops me in my tracks so often. I was told early on to think what the worst end result could be and then push my fears aside and do what I want to do anyway. That end result, even it is not the one I desired. does not justify the fear that I had about moving forward in face of that fear.
Thank you!

Confidence boost!

THANKS! It even brought me to the tears of joy and inspired to keep going! 😭❤️🥰

Thank you very much
