Fear of failure is one of the greatest fears people have. Fear of failure is closely related to fear of criticism and fear of rejection. Successful people overcome their fear of failure. Fear incapacitates unsuccessful people.
The Law of Feedback states: there is no failure; there is only feedback. Successful people look at mistakes as outcomes or results, not as failure. Unsuccessful people look at mistakes as permanent and personal.
Buckminster Fuller wrote, “Whatever humans have learned had to be learned as a consequence only of trial and error experience. Humans have learned only through mistakes.”
Most people self-limit themselves. Most people do not achieve a fraction of what they are capable of achieving because they are afraid to try because they are afraid they will fail.
Take these steps to overcome your fear of failure and move yourself forward to getting the result you desire:
Step One: Take action. Bold, decisive action. Do something scary. Fear of failure immobilizes you. To overcome this fear, you must act. When you act, act boldly.
Action gives you the power to change the circumstances or the situation. You must overcome the inertia by doing something. Dr. Robert Schuller asks, “What would you do if you knew you could not fail?” What could you achieve? Be brave and just do it. If it doesn’t work out the way you want, then do something else. But DO SOMETHING NOW.
Step Two: Persist. Successful people just don’t give up. They keep trying different approaches to achieving their outcomes until they finally get the results they want. Unsuccessful people try one thing that doesn’t work and then give up. Often people give up when they are on the threshold of succeeding.
Step Three: Don’t take failure personally. Failure is about behavior, outcomes, and results. Failure is not a personality characteristic. Although what you do may not give you the result you wanted, it doesn’t mean you are a failure. Because you made a mistake, doesn’t mean that you are a failure.
Step Four: Do things differently. If what you are doing isn’t working, do something else. There is an old saying, “if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got.” If you’re not getting the results you want, then you must do something different. Most people stop doing anything at all, and this guarantees they won’t be successful.
Step Five: Don’t be so hard on yourself. Hey, if nothing else, you know what doesn’t work. Failure is a judgement or evaluation of behavior. Look at failure as an event or a happening, not as a person.
Step Six: Treat the experience as an opportunity to learn. Think of failure as a learning experience. What did you learn from the experience that will help you in the future? How can you use the experience to improve yourself or your situation? Ask yourself these questions:
(1) What was the mistake?
(2) Why did it happen?
(3) How could it have been prevented?
(4) How can I do better next time?
Then use what you learned from the experience to do things differently so you get different results next time. Learn from the experience or ignore it.
Step Seven: Look for possible opportunities that result from the experience. Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, says “every adversity, every failure and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or a greater benefit.” Look for the opportunity and the benefit.
Step Eight: Fail forward fast. Tom Peters, the management guru, says that in today’s business world, companies must fail forward fast. What he means is that the way we learn is by making mistakes. So if we want to learn at a faster pace, we must make mistakes at a faster pace. The key is that you must learn from the mistakes you make so you don’t repeat them.
Although we all make mistakes, fear of failure doesn’t have to cripple you. As self-help author Susan Jeffers says, “feel the fear and do it anyway.”
Hypnotherapy & NLP Life Coach Launches Highly Anticipated Hypnosis Program for Chronic Pain
- London (Jan 1, 2010) – Thoughts Become Reality (www.thoughtsbecomereality.co.uk) announced today the lunch of their highly anticipated Hypnosis program for Chronic Pain. Gone are the days of popping pills out of necessity and repeat surgeries. The ailment pendulum swung and has stopped on hypnosis as a truly effective and lasting treatment. A treatment that is sans standard medicinal side effects as hypnosis simply takes place in a normal state of mind, one of which people go in and out of each day. This relaxed, focused state of concentration is what Rakesh Kakaya has integrated into several of his most recent specialized hypnotherapy treatment plans for many different conditions including chronic pain, phobias, smoking, memory, insomnia and more.
“Hypnosis can be the one most important tool to change the way your mind experiences your world. If there ever was a magic wand that could help you change anything about your life, your health or your behavior, this might be it.”, said Founder of Thoughts Become Reality and Hypnotherapy Consultant Rakesh Kakaya “A Good hypnotherapist knows how to gently release blocks and fears and create a new inner belief that will set the wheels in motion to make changes in the way you think, feel and behave. My program for chronic pain is not just good, it is life changing. It is hands down the best.”
Hypnosis is a specific state that the brain enters into when it is receptive to suggestion. There is a change in the brain wave activity, similar to that time just before you go to sleep when the alpha state is entered. Your brain’s waking state is a beta brain wave, just as you are going to sleep it changes to alpha and then to delta and theta in deep sleep. During the alpha state your mind is very open to visualizations and creating a rich sensory experience. This is also the state of mind where hypnosis treatments take place for chronic pain. Pain relief with hypnosis has been shown to work by lowering the brains response to pain signals. There are different types of body pains, as well as different perceptions of pain as an individual experience. Thoughts Become Reality offers a range of treatments for curing chronic pain offered such as Post Operative Pain, Phantom Limb Pain, and Palliative Care.
“Pain is the body’s warning system. It protects us from damage, further damage, or warns us that something is wrong with an area of our body. This is why the hypnotherapist will never take all pain or sensation away. To do so would be unethical.” states Kakaya,” Pain should never be treated for its own sake, but if the underlying cause is known and your doctor gives permission, hypnosis can be very effective in relieving chronic pain.”

Is the Smoking Ban Getting You Down?
Do you find yourself in the Great Outdoors yet again puffing away with the social outcasts of the smoking ban, surrounded by stigma, and the cost of cigarettes burning a hole in your pocket? You just can’t get smoking out of your head.
But what if someone else can? Watford based hypnotherapy consultant and founder of http://www.thoughtsbecomereality.co.uk , Rakesh Kakaya regularly helps people to break the bad habits they don’t want and begin to build the good habits they do.
Rakesh said “It can really drag someone down when they feel they are fighting a constant battle to change a habit of a lifetime. The power of hypnosis lies in its ability to tap the potential that exists in each of us at a subconscious level. Negative thought patterns can be removed and positive habits reinforced.
“Smoking is a costly habit we’ve all see the adverts on lung cancer. But it doesn’t stop there. Smoking can adversely affect relationships and leave your finances in a very sorry state. A 20-cigarettes-a-day habit at £5 a packet will cost around £1,825 a year.
“Hypnotherapy is a safe way to begin to explore change. The first step is to book an appointment, so do get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you, and helping you release blocks and fears to give up smoking for good”

Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state of concentration.
One of Laurie Keefer’s patients was afraid to be a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding, others worried about traveling with the boss or even going to parties in peoples’ homes.
The patients have ulcerative colitis, a nasty gastrointestinal disease that flares without warning and makes it vital for them to find a bathroom fast. The disease is often diagnosed when people are in their late 20s and early 30s. The flare-up is like having a severe stomach bug that can drag on for weeks. It ruins vacation plans, causes lengthy absences from work and generally messes up peoples’ lives at a time when they are trying to build careers and meet a romantic partner or marry.
But some of Keefer’s patients are less fearful these days and starting to embrace activities they once avoided. They’ve been taking part in a new National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded research study to test whether hypnotherapy can extend the time between their flare-ups. Currently, the treatments for ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease, include a fistful of pills — up to a cumbersome 12 a day that reduce the risk of flares but that many forget to take, as well as steroids or surgery to remove their colon.
In an early look at the data for the ongoing study, Keefer, a clinical health psychologist and an assistant professor of medicine at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, is finding that treatment with hypnotherapy enabled some subjects’ to socialize more and get involved in activities such as eating at restaurants, exercising and road trips. Some subjects feel less impaired by their disease and are better at remembering to take their pills.
The patient who was afraid to stand up at a friend’s wedding is now going to be a bridesmaid. The patient who was nervous about getting on a plane with the boss is now taking business trips with him.
The study will be enrolling a total of 80 patients over three years and will track the progress of each patient for one year. Thus far, 27 subjects have enrolled in the study and completed the required eight weeks of hypnotherapy sessions. As a part of the study, subjects also listen to special relaxation tapes up to five times per week.
While it’s too early in the study to know if the hypnotherapy has prolonged their remissions, only two of 12 subjects who have participated in the study for a full year have experienced a relapse, whereas based on their history, all 12 subjects would have been expected to have had two or more relapses within the year.
“These numbers are encouraging because the study specifically targets individuals who flare a couple times a year,” Keefer said. Subjects are also expected to take their routine maintenance medication during the trial.
Keefer presented her findings recently at the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America’s 13th Annual Medical Symposium and 14th Annual Patient and Family Conference in Chicago.
The goal of the trial is to see if hypnotherapy can help subjects learn to manage their stress and develop a sense of control over their health, explained Keefer, who is director of the Center for Psychosocial Research in Intestinal Bowel Disease at Northwestern’s Feinberg School.
“Managing stress is really important for managing inflammatory bowel disease,” Keefer said. “We see young adults about to get married, pregnant women, people worried about losing their jobs in this difficult economy. The body doesn’t differentiate between good stress and bad stress. When people are under stress, their disease flares up.”
In the experimental hypnosis sessions, Keefer suggests to subjects that they closely monitor their stress and be aware of how it’s affecting them. “If they’re not getting enough sleep, part of the hypnosis is encouraging them to know this is a trigger and make an effort to take naps and take it easier, ” she said. “I also tell them your body can detect slight changes in stress and can adapt easily and not be affected.”
The key issue is how confident subjects feel in their ability to manage their disease. “There is quite a bit of data in a variety of diseases that shows people who have a higher sense of control over their health feel better and have fewer symptoms than people who don’t,” Keefer said. “This is a proactive approach.”
Keefer said the trial is one of the few NIH-funded behavioral studies for inflammatory bowel disease, which affects between 250,000 to 500,000 people in the U.S.
Her preliminary data on the overall quality of life for 27 subjects after eight weeks of hypnotherapy showed that 80 percent of them reported an increased belief that they could affect and manage their disease versus 50 percent of subjects in standard care (no hypnotherapy.) In addition, subjects reported a 76 percent increase in the quality of their lives (the improvements were most notable in their bowel symptoms) compared to a 25 percent increase for standard care. In another measure, 73 percent of the subjects experienced a general improvement in their health and well being compared to a 25 percent increase for standard care.
“The preliminary results on the improved quality of life for the 27 subjects in this ongoing study (aiming for a total of 80 subjects) look positive so far,” Keefer said.
Once the eight weeks of hypnotherapy are completed, subjects are expected to listen to the relaxation tapes or practice relaxation twice a week to maintain the benefits. They are also encouraged to “step up their practice” of relaxation tapes if they think they are at risk for a flare, Keefer said.
Currently the treatment for the disease is a maintenance medication called 5-ASA. “The problem is most people forget to take the full dose,” Keefer said. If that doesn’t work steroids are often the next treatment, but long-term use can cause joint problems and other side effects such as anxiety and insomnia. When doctors try to taper the patient off steroids, symptoms tend to flare again.
The UK’s most unusual phobias
 |
Do you suffer from a fear of kneecaps? Have an aversion to the sight of some frozen peas? Perhaps you shudder at the mere glimpse of a copy of the Yellow Pages.
If so, you may be afflicted by one of the UK’s most unusual phobias. Genuphobia, or the fear of kneecaps, has recently been acknowledged as a genuine medical condition. One sufferer, Sarah Lister, from Gosport in Hampshire, has spoken of how the phobia affects her life.
She told the Daily Telegraph: “In the summer it is worse because I don’t feel like I can go to the beach or go to the pub. I worry that if I saw someone in a bathing costume or a short skirt I would just freak out. I quiver in fear if anybody tries to touch my knees, or accidentally bumps into them.
“I am fine with my fiancé, my immediate family and a select group of friends, but strangers’ knees still hold a lot of fear for me. Even the thought of other people’s knees makes me feel very uneasy.”
Miss Lister believes her phobia began when she was 11 years old when she witnessed her father dislocate his knee in a fall.
Genuphobia is just one of a number of unusual aversions people have testified to suffering
