'Hi <<First Name>>

Here we are again, can't believe we are half way through August and I am really looking forward to having a break in September. My sister, who lives in the UK and I are meeting in Hanoi for 10 days of pure adventure, rest and repose.

Today's newsletter is about Fear and particularly a Fear of Failure. I think most of us fear failure. While sometimes this fear can motivate us to succeed, other times it can defeat us, preventing us from pursuing our goals. The negative thoughts in our head often referred to as our " inner critic" can often have us questioning our self worth yet we are told that it is only by making mistakes that we learn. So is failure really the road to success? Is it like the adage, 'no pain, no gain' and we just have to learn to live with it, manage it, embrace it.

My youtube video this week is a Guided Meditation to overcoming a Fear of Failure. Designed to help you reconnect to that positive inner coach. and push through the wall of fear. It's free to listen on the link above or you can download it through itunes here.

Another perspective on the fear of failing. What if you are failing at something that you were never meant to do? Failing at something where you feel no passion or desire. Is that okay to fail? My blog talks about my own experiences with passion and failure and how I worked through them.

The PROMOTION this week is for those who are ready work on getting rid of debilitating fears and phobias using hypnotherapy. Pay for 2 sessions up front and get a third free until 15th of September. Valid for one on one clinic sessions and on Skype. You may call Elaine on 0407744566 for more information.

' Fear of Failure'

This Guided Meditation Fear of Failure video has been created to help overcome the fear that can stop you from reaching your goals, that can stop you moving towards success whatever that looks like for you.

Designed to help you focus on the times when you felt good about yourself, when you triumphed, succeeded, no matter how small the win was you have been there, we all have.

I will guide you to a place in you mind where you can rekindle the fire, the desire, maybe even the passion and to move forward. Find yourself easily reconnecting to the times in your past when you felt good about yourself, and then build on them. Finally you start to notice how much more present, connected and confident you feel.

I read a statement/quote the other day that said,“the greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure”. Yes it may be, but only if the journey you are on is the right journey and that you are on the right path.
