Fear…? What Fear?

Fear can stop us on our tracks — but ultimately the choice is ours. We can choose to let it stop us or we can feel the fear and do it anyway. One of the most curious and interesting things about fear is that it’s made up in our mind by the meanings we choose to give things — and 99.9% of the time doing the thing we fear most is not at all as bad as what we imagine. Often we just need a little assistance!

So here are a few ways of strengthening your courage:

Accept the fact you will handle it—Any activity that involves change in our life, for example, comes with a little fear. Starting a new job, moving to a new city or neighborhood, or even that first date…and guess what? YOU HANDLED IT! You haven’t come this far in life without your fair share of difficulties, have you? A great way of letting go of fear forever is to accept that no matter what happens in the future (even when you’d prefer a different outcome) — YOU CAN HANDLE IT!

Talk positively to yourself—positive self talk is a crucial way of boosting your confidence and decreasing your fear. Keep telling yourself: “I can do it, I can do it, I can do it”!
