We all know the importance of taking action in order to achieve our goals because without action, a decision or thought means nothing. However, we often fail to realize the different ways that taking action promotes self-growth and takes us one step closer to becoming the best version of ourselves.
There are so many different ways that taking action can make you mentally stronger, more resilient, and more confident. When you take action on a goal, there will inevitably be times that you are forced to step out of your comfort zone and do things that are uncomfortable. Stepping out of your comfort zone can be very scary because you are uncertain of the outcome and may not have the trust in yourself to believe that you are capable.
The hesitations, self-doubt, and negative self-talk that come with uncertainty prevent us from advancing in life. It is important to understand that taking action has a direct link with combating fear and building up the courage that you need to help you in future situations. This will make goalsetting and acting upon these goals a lot more motivating and will allow you to feel more rewarded at the end of the day.
When you focus on the different ways that you can develop self-improvement through failure and other bumps in the road on your path to success, you will be able to analyze these experiences from different perspectives. Overtime, you will learn to develop your confidence and be more understanding of yourself through adversity and embracing uncertainty.
The most common reason that we are held back from taking action on our goals is because of fear of the unknown or the repetition of past negative experiences. When these fears get in the way and our mind takes control, we may prevent ourselves from accomplishing certain things and taking the necessary risks that we need to advance in life. This holds us back from success and prevents us from living a fulfilling and satisfying life.
Making action a habit rather than sitting with your goals will have significant impacts on your ability to succeed in life. You will build up the skills in the mind that turn fear into courage, and you will be able to replace self-doubt with self-worth.
The more often that you take action, the less scary it will feel because you will learn to see things from a different perspective and will be able to observe your thoughts rather than allowing them to control your emotions.
When you sit with these scary thoughts, it is very easy to let them get in the way. However, taking action allows you to get out of your head and start doing the things that you know you need to do. Taking action or taking that first step towards your goal allows you to confront fear once and for all instead of rejecting or trying to avoid it. This is an important concept to understand when analyzing your fears.
Resilience is our ability to overcome setbacks and accept fear but not let it get in the way. When you are constantly practicing taking action and allow it to become a habit, you will build up the skills that boost your resilience and self-esteem during these experiences. The more that you hold back and try to avoid any kind of fear, your self-esteem will be reduced, and you will be stuck in a negative cycle. When you are able to remember all of the other times that you stepped out of your comfort zone and took action, what lies ahead, will not seem scary.
