24.01.2022 The fear of speaking up is one of the ways that our primitive brain wants to protect us. Without this fear, in early society, we would have risked been rejected by the dominant social group, outcasted and disowned by the hierarchical leaders. Thankfully over hundreds of thousands of years of cognitive evolution, we have learnt how to master our fear so it doesn’t control us, engage the clever part of our brain and speak up when we see wrong even if it is the dominant group or... the leaders who do wrong. WRONG. WE ARE STILL AS FRIGHTENED AS EVER, keeping quiet when we see wrong, siding with dominant groups to avoid having our own reputation tarnished, we are still allowing fear to control our behaviour. With our clever brain reduced in cognitive capacity by fear, we are still AVOIDANT, RESISTANT, INDIFFERENT to welcoming difference and creating change. Fear protects us in the short term at the cost of our long term gain. When will we learn to control our fear so that it stops controlling us? #courage #fear #iwd #thecourageclub #theloudestguest See more

14.01.2022 Proud to feature an article in Body and Soul. Here is an excerpt "Fear is designed to protect us, but sometimes it limits our impact in the world or our enjoyment of life. Fear sends us messages of avoidance. Avoidance can be useful for example when fear tells us to avoid standing too close to the edge of a cliff. However, it can sometimes tell us to avoid things that would help us grow. For example fear can tell us to avoid creating a deep relationship with someone, av...oid failure by not even trying, avoid showing our true feelings in case people reject us, avoid saying no to someone in case they think badly of us, and so on! Do we always need to listen to our fears? "Fear can also tell us to defend and attack if it feels we are vulnerable. It can shout messages of defence, so we block or deny others’ even attack them before they expose us. Again, sometimes this is helpful, but is it always? "And fear can also show up as pervasive worry. The type of rumination that causes us to be distracted from our now as we focus on the past or the future. It can be an extra cognitive load that we carry with no need. It can make decisions harder and distress greater. "Here are the 6 steps to better manage your fear..... 1. Understand fear and your relationship with it 2. Practice self-compassion 3. Separate fear from you 4. Work out the message of your fear 5. Work out what you want, not what fear wants 6.

06.01.2022 Was so interesting to reflect with Paul Richards about fear in all its formats, doubt, indecision, stress, phobias, irritation, procrastination, apathy and anger. When fear is in control, we are not. The first step is understanding where fear is stopping us reach our potential, as individuals and teams (see the quick quiz on my website: https://www.dramysilver.com). And as an aside, if you are frightened of spiders, you'll want to listen to this clip as the interview I had with Paul ended up having a spider phobic call in to discuss her relationship with fear.
