We all get scared and we all have fears. The funny thing about fear is that it is not real. It is an emotion manifested in your mind. What we often fear the most is not reality, but a figment of our imagination. It is important to recognize fear for the fraud that it is, so you can throw it aside and go on and LIVE life! Fear only has power if you give it power. Here are a couple of techniques you can use to eradicate fear from your life.
Ask yourself WHY
What we fear is different for each person. A lot of times when we are fearful, there is more too it. Try to figure out what is causing and triggering your fear. Asking yourself why you are scared can help you figure out what is bothering you.
For me, I use to fear sharing my writing with others. Was it my fear of being a bad writer? Was it fear of being judged? Was it the lack of confidence in my writing skills? By asking myself “why”, it allowed me to figure out what was really triggering the fear. It’s easier to fix when you know what you need to focus on fixing.
You may even conclude that your reasons of why you are scared are irrational! YAY, so you might be crazy, but at least you’re not scared anymore! HAHA.
Stay Positive
Even when I have acknowledged that my fear is irrational, it can still be hard to stop feeling scared. It is important to stay positive and realize that change happens over time. We are always learning and improving, so be patient with yourself and give yourself the love you deserve.
You must own fear
The only way to truly conquer your fears, is to face them. You must do what you are scared to do. Once you face your fears it will disappear because you have done the deed you feared and LOOK YOU ARE STILL ALIVE AND THRIVING! Here I am still writing on Steemit and loving it. Trust me, it feels good!
