How to face fear and progress in life

People sometimes dismiss their doubts, believing that they would vanish on their own. Regrettably, fear seldom goes away on its own. When fear becomes a part of our everyday lives, we must take action. But how do you deal with fear? In reality, it's not difficult; all you have to do is find the right mindset, and all will become obvious.

Please grab a pen and paper and write down what you're afraid of. What is it that you are afraid of? What is the source of this apprehension? What is the root of the problem? When will it be released? When is it going to be less serious? What would your emotions be like? You're looking at your insecurity and yourself from an outsider's viewpoint as you do this. This not only encourages critical thought, but it also allows you to examine fear critically.

It's also a good idea to keep a fear journal. You must record your own experience of overcoming fear in your diary as soon as possible. This is not only a healthy way to let off steam, but it also gives you a sense of safety, as it makes you feel like you've been there before.

Now you must write down the fear you wish to conquer. Write basic fears as your ultimate goal at the end, and then we'll layer them. Write down one thing you believe you can easily solve at the bottom. Then write down each level, each one a little more difficult than the last, until the final fear is conquered.
If you're afraid of flying, for example, you'll be anxious even as you approach the plane. Then "going to the airport as your first move" is an option. There is no difficulty at this stage other than completing the mission of getting to the airport.

There is no difficulty at this stage other than completing the mission of getting to the airport. The next step is to learn about the principles of aeroplane flight (don't just think of an aeroplane as "a pair of magical wings that can fly"). Then you book a short-distance flight to see a friend that only takes 30 minutes. Gradually, you will be able to travel alone for four hours without fear. Do you comprehend the truth?

Now that you've identified the fear in your heart, comprehended its source, and can categorise it into different stages, the next step is to learn to confront the fear head-on. You can think of it this way: your fear is just a way of thinking; it isn't a real living being, but rather a neuron in your brain that is involved. And this neuron is not uncontrollable; in reality, it is very simple to regulate once you learn to face it.

Allow yourself a minute or two to absorb the following sentence: Whatever gruesome images surface in your head, they are all made up by you. In reality, you won't have to deal with any concrete people or objects. You just need to change your mindset to conquer your fears.

It's understandable if you're afraid of speaking. After all, many people are terrified of this. But it's a different storey if you're still fantasising about green weirdos bursting out of your closet and you're terrified all day. It is necessary to see a psychologist if you believe your anxiety is uncommon, unreasonable, exhausting, or even detrimental to your health.

In the world of psychology, exposure methods for treating fears have made significant progress. Gradual desensitisation therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which you gradually get closer to the things you fear every day, before you eventually let the fear pounce and clash head-on. This which appear to be frightening, but it is not.

Consider yourself to be self-assured and fearless. You might think this is ridiculous, but it works. At the very least, this type of fantasy will put you in a good mood and help you approach a situation that previously terrified you with a more positive outlook. As a result, imagine yourself in the situation, including everything you can see, smell, and touch. Then strive to maintain control; you will now feel as though you are in a real situation. Is it enlightening?

This is like a happy, happy dream trance. When you are relaxed with the fictional environment, you should have no trouble confronting the actual scene because you are familiar with it. Increase your practise time. Set the imagination timer for 5 minutes at the start. Set it to 10 minutes when you find it easier to deal with it, and then gradually increase the time.
