Collect, Welcome, or Scrutinize Fears

This is the fourth in a series of articles about Fear of Failure, Fear of Success and Fear of Rejection in trading. This series started November 13, 2006 with the article entitled “Fearful Trading”.

That’s another way to handling these fears other than trying to resist, overcome or eliminate them.

There’s the Sedona Method Release Method. Actually, the Sedona Method is three methods, all intended to release yourself from the power of these fears without trying to resist, eliminate or overcome them.

1. When you feel these fears, notice where in your body you experience them. Then imagine yourself gathering up those fears in your body and blowing them into a balloon, much like putting computer virus files into quarantine without deleting them.

2. Or, when you feel these fears, welcome them into your awareness instead of resisting them. Just "Let It Be".

3. Or, when you feel those fears, pay attention to them, focus on them and describe them to yourself in detail. These fears become powerless during this type of clinical examination.

You can read more about these methods and how to use them in the book, The Sedona Method by Hale Dwoskin.

But I’m not finished yet. The Sedona Method is only part of what you can do with these three fears (rejection, success and rejection). In addition to releasing these fears, you can actually put them to good use.
