Are your fears holding you back?
Today I had lunch on the ped mall in Iowa City. This is normally something that I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to. However, today was a totally different experience. One that still has me feeling shaky and uneasy. I am sure you are wondering what horrible thing happened today.
Here it is!
Yep. This little snake caused me more anxiety and uneasiness than any work or personal challenge I have faced in recent history. After keeping an eye on him (in reality, that means being frozen in place) for about 45 minutes while I was perched on top of my park bench, I was finally able to get up and escape to The Java House. Unfortunately, as I sit here now, I still find myself scanning the perimeter for snakes and having weird sensations on my skin that make me feel like things are crawling on me.
I pride myself on being an incredibly rational person in nearly every situation that life throws at me. But I will admit, I have an irrational fear of snakes. I have absolutely no idea where this fear has come from. I have never been bitten by a snake. I have seen relatively few snakes outside of contained situations (zoos).  But none of that matters. That tiny snake had me completely frozen and under its control.
The Impact of Fears
My situation today reminded me that we all have fears. Some are extreme and keep us from doing certain things or going certain places. Other fears might be less extreme but they still create challenges or stress for us.
In the workplace, fear of failure may keep us from trying new things, taking on a new project, or applying for a promotion.
Outside of work, fear of the unknown may keep us in an unhappy or unhealthy situation.
Imagine how productive and happy people we all could be if those fears were eliminated. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to do that. I wish, for my own sake, that I did. However, there are some practical tips and suggestions that may be helpful in working through some of your own fears, especially as it pertains to the workplace. Stay tuned for that article next week. In the meantime, please take a moment and subscribe to the Skywalk Group E-Newsletter to receive industry tips, trends, and entertaining tidbits like this blog article from the blog writing team at Skywalk Group.
