How to cope with fear? Everyone knows the feeling of fear. Fear not only prevents us from living a normal, full life, but sometimes completely paralyzes desire and the will to act. Let's look at five steps that will help you regain control of your life and gain self-confidence.1. Awareness and acceptance of the problem It is normal to be afraid. We are all afraid! The first step to overcoming fear is awareness and acceptance of it. If you realize that you are always facing obstacles or find yourself unwilling to act, you are most likely experiencing fear. It is important to realize it. If you are clearly aware of yourself in the moment of experiencing fear, then you can move to the next step.2. Understanding the Causes of FearIn order to successfully cope with fear, you need to understand its cause. Include memories and analysis - when you first felt this fear, what caused it. Many fears have their roots in childhood or arise after traumatic events. By understanding the reasons, you can better control your future reactions.3. System of small steps Any big and significant business begins with small steps. If you're intimidated by talking to a lot of people, start by getting to know one person. If you are afraid of heights, try standing on a small hill. Gradually increase the difficulty of your tasks and you will see how gradually fear loses its power.4. Dealing with Fantasies Fear is often intensified by our fantasies about possible negative outcomes. Learn to switch your attention from a negative scenario to a positive one. Instead of thinking about what could go wrong, focus on the best outcome of the situation. This will help you not accumulate mental stress and direct the focus of your attention to positive energies.5. Get a resource Often we are afraid of what we want. Based on this, where there is fear, there is always a resource. To be more precise, our fear indicates to us the zone of our development. For example: a person is afraid of public speaking; the reasons for his fear lie in the fear of not being recognized in society. In this situation, a resource for a person will be to identify skills that will help him gain recognition. Remember that we cannot completely get rid of fear, we need these sensations, including for our own safety. But we can change our reactions to fear. It is possible to withstand the feeling of fear and move towards it, the main thing is not to avoid it, but to face it face to face, step by step regaining control over your life.
