#152: How to Overcome Fear Like Ted

Positive Impact with Andrew Schultz

FEAR - False Evidence Appearing Real!

I want you to meet Ted, my Coaching Client, a real hero, a loving father, hard-working, real estate agent, servant leader, in the community, who came to this country as a young boy from Russia, and has literally worked his way up in life to create the American dream.

When Ted came to me to start working together, he told me about his fear of driving on the freeways. And living in San Diego as a real estate agent, one of the largest counties in the country, I realized the amount of precious time he was losing every day, literally, by driving on back roads getting from appointment to appointment, from one side of town to the other, taking two hours in transit, for what? Otherwise would have been a 20 minute commute. All day. Every day. He was literally letting fear ruin his life and get in the way of what he loved - spending time with his daughter and friends. Ted was stuck in his car, wasting time, money, energy, and resources. I fear that was keeping him playing small, stuck, overwhelmed, without agency or freedom in his life.

Ted and I started to work through, not around, his fear of driving on freeways. We faced it head on. We uncovered the false evidence appearing real. I would literally be in the car with him, every week, as we broke through this limiting belief that was ruining his life, family, job, and everything he had worked so hard to build. He’s slowly gained more confidence, self-esteem, and empowerment which translated into every other area of his life. Together we created a plan that allowed Ted to be the hero of his own story and overcame his biggest fear. Gradually the fear lost its power, and Ted was able to create a new story around, driving on the freeways. A new truth that aligned with his values and highest good. A story in truth that serves, supports, and empowers his goals and vision of the future to be his best self.

Ted now enjoys a new freedom, a new happiness, a new life perspective, a new possibility for what Ted can create in his life – one of maximum success, significance, and fulfillment. Maximizing his true and full potential. Saving tons of money in gas, saving tons of time he now uses with family, friends, new work, projects, and travel.

In fact, Ted started taking road trips up and down the coast of California with his daughter visiting places that before were not accessible. He also started flying on airplanes around the world. This is relevant, because Ted also had a fear of flying before we started working together. In fact, he hadn’t been on an airplane in many many years. And because of his work, overcoming his fear of driving on freeways, Ted had the courage and confidence and empowerment to overcome his fear of flying. It’s all connected. Ted’s love of world travel has taken him to countries he thought wasn’t possible because of his fear. not anymore. Ted got his life back. His freedom. Because he had the courage to face is fear head on and ask for help.

My question to you, what is your greatest fear, and how is it holding you back from living the life you were meant to live. A life of abundance, health, prosperity, wealth, freedom, and wholeness. You were meant to not just survive, but thrive!

You get to create your own story as the hero just like Ted.
