How can you conquer your fears or
let go of the fear,
when you feel overwhelmed by it - so much so that it prevents you from doing
something you want to do? Believe it or not, this is a common problem faced by a lot of people.
Fear has the power to hold you back from taking risks, following your dreams, or becoming successful at
everything you attempt to do. If you allow it to take control of you long enough, it will eventually
erode your quality of life and keep you locked in a prison of inactivity.
What many people fail to realize is that fear is nothing more than a conditioned response. It's a natural
reaction to a frightening or unfamiliar situation. While it is usually automatic, there are things you can
do to conquer your fears.
1) Check Your Expectations
A major factor of fear is the presence of negative expectations. Do you usually find yourself expecting
the worst in every situation? Do you worry obsessively about what could go wrong, rather than focusing
on your strengths and capabilities?
If you make a conscious effort to expect the best, see the positive side of each situation and keep
reminding yourself that you can handle more than you think you can - then you'll find yourself with
much less fear to deal with.
Even if feelings of fear do manage to creep into your consciousness, you will still be able to keep
them in perspective and balance them against your self-confidence.
2) Discredit Your Fears
Experts will tell you that the majority of things you fear will never come to pass anyway. While this
may be true, it sure doesn't feel that way when fear has you in its' grip! However, if you look closer
at your fears when they arise, you may be able to dismiss at least a few if not all of them.
For example, if you have a fear of public speaking and your boss wants you to give a presentation, you
might feel like your life is on the line. You may also fear getting fired, or worried that your colleagues
will lose respect for you if you don't do a good job.
But is any of this likely to happen? In most cases, no. Rather than worrying about what "might" happen
if you don't give a solid presentation, you can brainstorm ways to help conquer your fears and improve
your performance.
Try being well prepared, practicing your delivery on friends and family members, writing notes to yourself
and so on.
3) Do What You Fear
When you remember that fear is simply a feeling, it loses much of its power. It can't harm you and
except in truly threatening situations you can choose to ignore it and move forward anyway.
If you weigh the pros and cons in any situation, you may decide that the possibility of negative
consequences is minimal so there's nothing to stop you from ignoring your fears and going for it!
This will be determined by you on a case by case basis, of course. The point isn't to become reckless
with your decision-making, but rather to empower yourself to know that you can conquer your fears and
easily overcome them.
