Fear of failure can often come from past fitness experiences that didn’t work out the way you hoped. Often, this isn’t your fault; it’s often more about the wrong environment, the wrong approach, or the wrong activity. For example, attending a gym or program where the prescribed fitness started well over your initial ability, or an environment that was too intimidating or uncomfortable—think surrounded by high-performance athletes when you’re a beginner. || Stephen Varanko III
