We tackle obstacles all the time, often with varying degrees of fear. Mostly we can navigate our way through them, barely noticing. But sometimes we freeze or flee.
According to Mark Berridge, whose new book, A Fraction Stronger, documents his belief in the possibility of impossible moments after a cycling crash and devastating spinal cord injury turned his world upside down, there may be people out there that live without fear but he isn't one of them. Instead, he confronts it head-on.
"I concentrate on the steps that help me flow with it, rather than allow it to wash over me," says Mark. "By facing fear, I change my circumstances and perspectives. I don't want my life to be constrained by the suffocating fear of what might be', so I open my mindset to the opportunities of 'what might be' amid and beyond fear." If you struggle to see past obstacles, try Mark's six strategies to overcome any fear and adversity in your life.
