HOW TO CONQUER FEAR

 How To Conquer Fear 

Fear is one of the toughest emotions that has a huge impact on the person's mind and life.it occurs as a mental response to a significant event,situation or even a thought.sometimes it is logical/rational, and sometimes it is only meant to hold us back from living life properly and taking action towards a positive change.

Fear is generally related to:1) constant thinking of what may happen,what could go wrong and our brains generating multiple possibilities by asking "what if".2)past trauma or old thinking pattern which convinces the person to stay in his comfort zone rather than experiencing intense or high levels of anxiety due to the unfamiliarity with the situation

So here are few ways to help you control your fear:

1-Awareness

our brains trick us into believing that our thoughts are the reality,and that's how we are deceived thinking that the image we created in our minds for certain things or situations is the reality when it's only a mental image made by our brains ,since the latter cannot distinguish between thought and reality.thus we need to understand that our fears are resulted from that mental image ,not from how things truly are.


2-Facing and challenging

fear is the enemy of growth,it limits our creativity and desire for change and prosperity as it keeps convincing us that safety is good but risk and danger are bad.hence,it controls our life and how we live it,until we decide to control it by facing it even though it may feel uncomfortable and triggering.the process is called "exposure"and it involves gradually going into feared situations until you feel less anxious.


3-Change your perspective

everything we encounter in life is seen through our own lenses,which makes us reflect ourselves into everything,thus we can never perceive fear or anything else objectively without intervening our own identity.however we can work on changing our perspective about fear by changing how we define it.so if we see it as a positive thing that's going to helps us grow as a person,then our mind will be less triggered by it.


4-Focus on the outcome

uncertainty and unfamiliarity with new situations and experiences fuels feelings of stress and anxiety,but when you decide to take that leap regardless of these feelings,you are allowing yourself to grow as a person and surpass obstacles that your mind has created to keep you in the same position.so the more you discredit your fear,the more it will be easier to move forward in life.


5-Separate your present from your past

most of the times,our fears are generated from our past-traumas or past image of ourselves.the human brain is a social organ that is shaped by experience,so basically the specific fears created in your past will fool you to think that your current fears are real while it is just yourself resonating with old fear-triggering situations.


Conclusion

in the end,heavy disturbing emotions are part of us as humans so we need to get along and accept it before any attempt to get rid of it.in other words,it's not about removing your fear but it's about dealing with it in a way that allows you to control it .

Hope it was helpful,
