How do you conquer fear? We are all scared of something right? What do you fear? What are you scared of? Fear is nothing, but a mind game. It’s negative thoughts triggered by emotion. My best advice is to face your face all your fears. It may not be easy, but in time it will be. When you overcome your adversities your fear will be nothing, but a memory or maybe even a hobby.
Growing up I was scared of a few things (Maybe I’ll unveil them in time, but not right now haha :P). In time you may ask yourself what is there to be afraid of? Na, how did I conquer fear? There is a time in your life when you just say screw it and develop a “screw it” attitude.
Conquer fear with the screw it attitude
To truly conquer fear you have to learn how to control your emotions. I don’t know if I am weird, but what I did was face them or I have a great so-called family and friends that made fun of me for being afraid of things that they weren’t. I am thankful for this because proving them wrong was a must so I faced all my fears, and now they are just a memory or a hobby like I mentioned earlier.
If it is a horror movie watch it one hundred times till it becomes a joke. Is it a ride at a theme or amusement park? Get on the ride and strap in your seat close your eyes and pretend you’re somewhere else and don’t think about the heights just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
If it’s a bully that you can’t shake be smart about how you deal with them. Violence equals more violence. Be smart try to find out why the bully behaves the way they act like that, and try to reason with them. If that does not work simply avoid them. You don’t want negative people in your life they will only hold you back. These are just a few of examples. Maybe you want to start a business, but you are scared to get started. or maybe you are afraid of failing. If you have a fear of failing read “How to Cope with Failing.” This should help conquer fear of failing.
All you have to do is read, research, learn, listen, and most of all go do it!
Fear is a Facade
As I mentioned before fear is nothing, but a mind game. You are scared because you want to be. Fear is created because you may not of experienced something before or there is a change in your daily routine.
A lot of reasons fear exists is because people don’t understand things. When we do not have an understanding ignorance is something else that may come into play. If we tried to understand things instead of assuming or judging things then the world will be a better place.
Basically if you have a negative mindset you will never achieve anything of greater value. You have to take risks to achieve better things and work harder to pursue your dreams. hei tauira, you may lose something here, but gain something much greater there! Confidence should play a major role in your life without the proper confidence and effort you will just be stuck in a rut. Na, think positively and keep your head up fear does not exist unless you want it to.
Negative people may put all types of negative thoughts into your head, and then you start to doubt yourself. I can tell you over and over again negative people should not be in your life, but it will be your fault if you don’t make a change in your life. You are the only one to blame because you chose to listen to these negative people in not pursuing your goals and dreams.
Over confidence
Now a days I’m way too confident or so I have been told. I finished school, have a school loan, and I have huge dreams. I do not have any time to be scared of anything. It is crunch time. I have no time to be trapped in a corner!
I love trying new things and adapting to new things. I grew up an introvert. I don’t think so, but some may say that I am shy. If that is the case then that is definitely in the past.
I am still quiet at times I am more of a thinking and listener. On a personal stand point, if I do not know you I will not talk to you at first because I am too busy observing. I do not do it on purpose it something that just happens naturally. If I do know something though I will not be afraid to speak up.
Nowadays if I’m bored or have something to prove. I will try to find out what you are scared of and go face your fear just to prove to you that there was nothing to fear in the first place. Did I conquer my fears? Ae, I would think so. I would say I fear nothing on this earth, but who knows time will tell and there will be plenty more experiences and opportunities in the future. Maybe I will discover a new fear, but that would not matter because I will get rid of it just like the fears I had in my past. So BRING IT ON!
What do you fear?
Na, what do you fear? Is it a horror movie? A theme park ride? People? A situation? People? Changes? Pursuing your dreams? A startup? Failure? How did you conquer fear if you have already done so.
I am going to tell you right now there is nothing to be scared of if anything make your fear, fear you!
