If the answer to the question is that you will be comfortable that you have done what is right, and is consistent with your values, then that is a good way to act. By focusing on what you’re going to feel if you DON’T take action, you’re going to feel a strong urge to make your move. But knowing that fear is inescapable is exactly why bravery is of utmost necessity in life. Fear is the thing that paralyzes, while bravery is the thing that frees. Fear is the thing that chooses mediocre, while bravery is the thing that takes the risk of chance, a chance that could bring greatness or defeat. Fear always leads to regret, while bravery leads to knowing. Practicing mindfulness in all areas of your life means always staying grounded in the present moment. Mindfulness practices like breathwork and meditation can help you relieve worries and anxiety.

You can’t combat your fears by becoming tough alone. Develop mental resilience by consistently challenging negative thoughts. Like a lot of people, you probably focus way too much on the negative consequences of your taking action. Make your own list and start doing those things. Begin with the easiest ones and gradually move up. As we mentioned before, brave people face challenges without feeling intense fear. However, to become brave, they first had to exercise courage, and that means accepting that fear is part of life. You’re always afraid of what might happen, not what is actually happeningin the present moment. The fear he refers to is not an immediate danger. He’s talking about feelings of unease, anxiety, or worry about a future made-up problem.Reach out to friends and family to see who has been through some tough times and listen to how they were able to get through them.

Your own happiness and fulfillment are significantly affected by courage.

Confidence gives us the power to act on our convictions, have faith in ourselves or in others, and take action. Over-confidence however, means that we may be too ready to take action, and take unnecessary risks. Your comfort zone is, well, comfortable. So, what's the point in leaving that safe and predictable bubble in the interest of pursuing bravery? Knowing how to be brave can have major positive impacts in both your personal and professional lives. Why bravery is important in your personal life We are afraid of things that threaten our survival, and our reaction is governed by an adrenaline response (which usually means that we are driven to ‘fight’ or ‘flight’). The physical effects of adrenaline include cold, clammy skin, as the blood is withdrawn to the vital organs to enable you to run away fast, the sensation of ‘butterflies’ in the stomach, shivering or trembling, and even chattering teeth.

Instead of focusing on your fear or on the negative consequences that taking action might bring, just focus on the positive feelings you’re going to have when you’ve taken action, whether you succeed or not.As you pursue increased bravery, it can be helpful to have a mentor or coach to advise and encourage you throughout your journey to building up courage. If there is someone at work who has the job you want one day or if there’s another person whose bravery you admire, ask them how they got to where they’re at now. Not only can you look to them as a role model, but they may also be able to offer advice to help you be more courageous in your career or inspire you to go after your dreams.
