Self Help: How to Conquer Fear (part 2)


Fear Created By Learned Helplessness & Self-Help

There is a type of fear that can cripple your motivation towards your goals. In self-help it's called learned helplessness. Learned helplessness can be defined as a desire for the future contaminated by helplessness.

The key term is helplessness. You want something, but because you've been unsuccessful getting it in the past, you doubt you can get it now. In your heart of hearts, you believe that nothing you do will make a difference.

Gradually, you begin to back away from the goal, challenge, task, or relationship. Learned helplessness is usually a reaction to a previous disappointment, failure, or loss. It is also known as pessimism.

Robert Downey Jr. recognized that helplessness was part of his battle with cocaine and alcohol addiction from 1996 to 2001. A man of prodigious talent, Downey had the makings of an enduring force in the film industry until he found himself in and out of court and rehab.

Many people wondered why someone who had it all kept sabotaging his own success. In Downey's words, 'Why can't I get out of my own way? It's because you come to believe it's a hopeless situation.'

Downey only made real progress once he focused on believing it was possible for himself to change. This experience is called hope, and it's the stuff of champions. 

I'll talk to you again soon.

Your friend,
Lisa Brown

p.s. If you want the most direct path to success immediately using profound self-help methods, I recommend my 4 week private, intensive online course, "Catapult Yourself to Success Using Mental Toughness." Only 30 people will be allowed to join this select group.

As far as I'm concerned, this course is the very best way for you to realize your aspirations now. It is the culmination of several years of my personal research, trial and error, and refining success strategies.

I've taken knowledge from various fields...from research in sport psychology to the science of achievement...and combined it with my real-world experience working with top performers in business, sports, and the performing arts.

In this time, I've learned exactly what works and what does not work to maximize personal achievement. One of the most common things I hear about this program is, 'This training has completely changed my future!'

This course is the best of the best, and it comes with my 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you're not thrilled with it, just ask for a refund. No hassles.
