As basic fear channeling becomes comfortable, advanced techniques create even greater advantage:
Fear Stacking: Deliberately combining multiple fears amplifies focus and energy. Fear of financial loss plus fear of skill obsolescence creates urgency for high-value skill development.
Fear Cycling: Rotating between engaging fear for energy and releasing fear for recovery prevents burnout while maintaining high performance.
Fear Calibration: Learning your optimal fear level—enough for enhancement without overwhelm—and deliberately adjusting situations to maintain this zone.
Fear Teaching: Helping others process fear deepens your own mastery while building valuable relationships and reputation.
