Amazing ways to Beat fears
Practically Possible ways to Beat fears
How to Beat Your
Fears
1. First, acknowledge your fear. This is a huge first step. If you do just this today, you’ve done
something great. Many of us have these fears, but they are at the back of our
mind, unnoticed, unacknowledged, as we try to ignore them and pretend they’re
not there. But they are there. And they affect us. So acknowledge the fear.
2. Write it down. What’s your fear? Write it on a piece of paper. Writing it down takes
the fear from the dark lurking places in the back of your mind, where it has
power over you, out into the light of day, where you have power over the fear.
3. Feel the fear. Recognize that you’re not alone, that we ALL have these fears. There’s
nothing wrong with having this fear. Allow yourself to feel it. It’s a part of
you, but it doesn’t control you. Remember you can “feel the fear and do it
anyway.”
4. Ask yourself: what’s the worst
thing that can happen? Often it’s not as bad as we
think. Do you fear being rejected by someone? What would happen if you were?
You’d lick your wounds, you’d find someone else, and you’d go on living.
5. Just do it. To beat the fear, you have to just do it. Ignore your fears and just
go for it!
6. Be in the moment. Fear of failure (and other similar fears) are fears of the future. We
get caught up in worrying about what might happen. When you
find yourself thinking about the past or future, bring yourself back in the
moment and focus on what you’re doing right at this moment.
7. Small steps. Start small. Do something you know you can do. Allow
yourself to feel good about that - and then take another small baby step. Keep
doing this …
8. Celebrate every success! Make a note of every single thing you do right, even the smallest
little thing. Use this feeling of success to propel yourself forward and take
the next step. Then keep building on each previous success ….
