1. Expose your fears.
Fear is a gift that was given to us at birth as a means of protection and to offer us with safety from harm. This natural fear often becomes vague, and as adults, we begin to respond with anxiety, sabotage, and self-defeating behaviors. Ask yourself this question: “What is my main fear? Is it fear of denial, commitment, loss, change, or of growing up?” Once you have recognized this fear, speak it out loud to one person and mark it down on paper. Once you expose your fear, it is very possible to break through its control over your life.
2. Identify your beliefs.
Our belief system is formulated in several ways through our surroundings, relatives, acquaintances, culture, faith, the media, government, and cultural influences. Quite often, negative beliefs can cause us to act in ways that actually repel success. Do you believe that “Money is evil” or “To be successful, you have to work way too hard,” or “Girls should be seen and not heard?” If so, you may be pushing away the thing that you most want in life. By identifying your negative beliefs and replacing them with beliefs that empower you, you will begin stirring in a direction of lifelong success.
3. Assess your communication style using the DISC.
The DISC is a incredible assessment tool which provides individuals with a nonjudgmental language for exploring behavior. One of the crucial foundations of personal and professional success lies in understanding yourself and realizing the impact that your behavior has on your life and the lives of others. This one instrument can help you be more productive, improve your communication with others, and ease conflict and frustration in all life areas.
