Warren overcoming his fear in 3 easy steps
The primary fear is imagining that you will end up with severe burns to your feet and unable to walk. Of course, there is also the fear that you might fall down onto the hot coals, and have your clothing catch fire. Heck, perhaps you’ll even spontaneously combust — afterall you do have to sign a waiver acknowledging death as a potential outcome.
In my particular case, none of those things happened. I successfully navigated the bed of burning coals and felt exhilarated when I got to the other side. So how did I do that? What were the three simple steps I was able to use to overcome those extremely real feeling fears?
Step 1: Decide
The first step is to decide you will proceed in the face of your worry, doubt, or fear. In the absence of the decision to proceed, nothing will overcome the inertia and fear will rule the day.
In the case of the fire walk, I made the decision that it was something that was important for me to do. Why? Well, for me, it was a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate to myself that I’m able to rise above my fears and do something my mind is telling me I can’t or shouldn’t do. This was important to me. Besides, other people were doing it, so why couldn’t I do it too?
A strong desire for something that’s on the other side of your fear is a prerequisite to making the decision. But the decision is the foundation.
Step 2: Keep Moving Forward
Once you’ve embarked upon your goal, you must keep moving forward. If you allow fear to set in, you have a tendency to freeze (like a deer in the headlights) which is when things you don’t want to happen most likely will. Being in motion towards your goal is critical to success.
In the case of the firewalk, if I stopped part way along the path and simply stood there, then there was a very high likelihood that I was going to suffer burns.
Moving forward means taking the step by step actions required to maintain momentum.
Step 3: Focus On Where You’re Going
You must keep your eye on your destination. Don’t look behind you or off to the side to see what’s happening. When you do, you will be prone to misstep.
In the case of the firewalk, if I started to look behind me or at the crowd, I would be putting my safety in peril. That is how I’d most likely trip or misstep and then really hurt myself. I had to keep my eye on the other side of the coal bed, which served as my “lighthouse” of sorts with which to guide my navigation.
And then, celebrate!
You can be sure there are a lot of high fives and hugs in celebration when you make it to the other side of the hot coal bed, as there should be. Living a life of inspired abundance means deciding to go after what you desire, moving constantly forward, keeping your eye on where you’re going at all times, and then celebrating your successes along the way.
