50 - Conquer the Fear of Failure w/ psychologist Dr. Eric Day pt.2

"It is not failure itself that holds you back, it is the fear of failure that paralyzes you.”
-Brian Tracey

The fear of failure prevents so many people from realizing the potential they have. We can often become overwhelmed when we begin to think about all the risks involved with our decisions, and we over analyze the situations until it the opportunity has passed and we are stuck in our current position. Learning to overcome the fear of failure and finally start taking action is one of the most actions to begin because the dividends you will receive from finally acting on your goals is worth the risk!

This week's episode is part two of our conversations with organizational psychology and professor at the University of Oklahoma, Dr. Eric Day. Dr. Day has been with OU for the past 20 years and his research consists of the study of human performance and complex skill learning, group dynamics and team performance, and leadership and its role in team dynamics. He also teaches a sports psychology class which is known for bringing multiple fields of psychology together and gives practical applications of psychological theories and studies.

Throughout this episode Dr. Day covers the fear of failure and how we can overcome it, how we can find our identity and build belief in ourselves, the 2 most effective way to learn skills and the time frame to use them, how to increase the level of creativity you have, 4 things to know before setting any goal, and why competition and playing sports teaches you lessons nothing else will!
