1. Remember to breathe
Remember to stay calm during these situations. When you practice calmness, your body relaxes, and your mind is more open to receiving these fears differently. Take a deep breath, move your body, and think positively.
2. Accept the situation
Don’t be hard on yourself and accept the situation. Everybody has fears; no matter how small or big they are, there is always something that most people are afraid of. Take the time to evaluate your emotions and learn to accept them.
Don’t feel embarrassed or bad for having these fears; once you understand why they exist and how they affect you, you can move to the next level and confront them.
3. Find support
Talking about your fears can be beneficial; try to find a person you can relate to and express how you feel when you are in this situation. Talk to a friend, family member, or therapist with the expertise to help others take control of the same issue.
4. Be kind to yourself
Write down your emotions, thoughts, and how you talk to yourself; explore the messages you have been saying in your mind and how they affect you. Find the triggers and the main reason for your fears; what am I afraid of? Am I too hard on myself?
We are all humans, nobody is perfect, and fear is part of life; we need to learn to live with that and accept our weakness as part of who we are.
5. Explore your options
Find ways to see your fears differently; for example, add something fun to the situation that can help you relax and have a more positive outcome.
Another example is if your fear is more related to speaking in public, presentations, or just being in the public eye, why don’t you try something different like sign up for a course or find people with the same issue and work together, you can make friends and help each other by doing task and workshops.
Don’t look at the situation as the worst thing that can happen to you; find ways to improve it and train your brain to relax and overcome the problem.
