General
The fear of failure is a fear that hinders success. Most people are so afraid of failing that they can’t even take the first step. How can you be successful if you don’t take that step and move forward—or even try? You don’t even know what you’re capable of…
When we’re in “It doesn’t matter to me” mode, we don’t think about failure from the very beginning. “I don’t even let the idea of failure cross my mind; I don’t think about it at all. I’m confident in myself; I have no worries. Not even a shred of such a thought crosses my mind. When we say, ‘Let’s say I don’t succeed. Nothing in my life will change—it doesn’t matter to me,’ we’ve already solved half the problem. When the fears we define as barriers are gone, a huge weight is lifted off our shoulders. To be successful, you first have to take a step. To take confident steps toward the successes you aim for, you need to be in ‘it doesn’t matter to me’ mode.”
People make progress when they overcome their fears. Never start anything out of fear. We can compare this to starting a game down 1-0. Because our minds attract what we think into our lives, and our thoughts become reality. Stop thinking about fear—even when we feel fear, our minds act as if we want it and draw those fears into our lives. For example, fear of illness… If you constantly fear that you’ll get sick, or if you see sick people and imagine that one day you might contract the same illnesses, your mind will bring those thoughts to life, and you’ll actually get sick. If you don’t want your fears to come true, you must let go of them and relax. As you relax and adopt a calm mindset, you’ll achieve success. You’ll boost your self-confidence. When you’re in “I don’t care” mode, you aren’t being indifferent. You’re simply relaxed and calm. By thinking rationally and keeping a cool head, you can overcome your fears.
Creative Visualization and Mantras
You can use various techniques to get into the “It doesn’t matter to me” mindset and achieve success. You can use creative visualization to achieve success in the areas you desire.
In creative visualization, you can imagine whatever kind of success you desire. While in a relaxed and at-ease state, you can use your imagination to visualize the outcomes you wish to achieve. Whether it’s the role you’ll take on, the path you’ll follow, or even the people you’d like to journey with toward success, you can bring them to life exactly as you wish. For example, you have a business presentation in two days, and this presentation could open doors for you in your professional life and help you secure the promotion that will advance your career. Simply preparing the content of the presentation isn’t enough. You also need to prepare yourself mentally.
Decide how you want to appear while giving your presentation. Do you want to be calm, confident, speak with ease, and answer questions confidently and without hesitation? As you meditate and calm your mind, visualize yourself exactly this way. As you speak clearly and articulately, visualize yourself speaking confidently while looking your listeners in the eye. The more you practice this, the more your power of visualization will grow. Your brain will make what you visualize a reality.
Creative visualization helps you experience success in advance by visualizing the results you want in your mind. In short, it allows you to feel that success energetically. This way, you can take confident steps toward success while remaining just as relaxed and calm as you would be in “I don’t care” mode.
You can also reach the “I don’t care” mindset with the help of mantras. During meditation, you can visualize a character in the “I don’t care” mindset. By using mantras as support, you can program your brain.
