Confidence Hack #91: Humans fear what they don’t know.

“Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.”

  • Dumbledore (of Harry Potter)



The brain constantly tries to predict what will happen next to prepare the body and mind as effectively as possible. Uncertain situations are fearful, as the brain doesn’t have the opportunity to prepare.

Like in the famed movie Harry Potter, not saying Voldemort’s name gave him more power over Harry. The fear of the name itself increases the fear.

But when we name our giants (the things that hold us back in debilitating fear), we humanize the unknown and lessen our anxiety.

What is a giant in your life currently? An addiction? A narcissistic coworker? A health situation that won’t seem to pass? A fear that the bills won’t get paid?

Give all of these ‘giants’ names:

Addiction - I’ll name you ‘No Longer.’

A narcissistic coworker - I’ll name you ‘Goofball.’

A health situation that won’t seem to pass- I’ll name you ‘Healer.’

A fear that the bills won’t get paid - I’ll name you ‘Grand Future.’

Fear, in general, takes place through the mechanism of unconscious thought. Therefore, the solution is to bring conscious awareness into the equation.

Gain confidence today, knowing that when you name your giants (your fears), they aren’t as scary as you once thought.
