How To Eliminate Fears And Learn To Face Them Heads On?
"Holding back what you really feel is one of the most powerful ways to reinforce fear."
- Anthony Robbins
Let's start from the very beginning: Fears are not personal. They are not messages from the universe, they are not a sign of weakness and they don't ruin your life by themselves.
They are just a feeling. In fact, every human on earth experiences them and you are no exception.
If some things seem intimidating to you or if you don't feel like trying something new, that doesn't necessarily mean that there's anything wrong with you. It's normal for your mind to rebel against change. But then again, it doesn't have to be this way for the rest of your life.
The truth is that everyone has their own fears and their own journeys through life. The difference is that some people learn to face the fears head-on and some people spend their whole lives right under them.
Fear is a very personal experience and we all process it differently. That's why I want to show you how to overcome your fears by going through them, instead of avoiding them all together.
This doesn't mean that you have to start challenging yourself right away or go do things that scare you big time.
For example, sometimes it's easier to just take it one step at a time and not try as hard if you don't feel like certain things.
But the key is that you are aware of what you feel, so you don't become a prisoner in your own mind. By acknowledging your fears and understanding their true nature, you can start turning your mindset around and eventually get rid of them.
How Do I Overcome My Fears?
The only way to overcome fear is by going through it. We have to face our fears in order to change them into courage, optimism, decisiveness and strength.
If we want to overcome a fear, the first step is to be aware of its presence in our minds. This means that we’ll have to start paying attention when we feel afraid.
Once you have an idea of what your fears are, through noticing them, you can start investigating which habits or people are inspiring you to feel scared or worried.
But before we get into specifics on how to investigate your fears and confront them, let’s first understand their true nature to make sure that you have a sound understanding of the issue so that it can be broken down and processed properly in your mind.
What Are My Fears?
Fear is naturally a very complex emotion and has many different aspects to it. Firstly, fear can be based on past experiences that we've encountered or on our expectations about future events.
Secondly, there are fears of specific things, fears of rules and fears of losing control.
Last but not least, we have fears over our bodies and our minds. Let's now take a closer look at each one:
Fears Of Past Events
Our past experiences definitely play a role in shaping our current perspective on the world. Even if we try to forget about it or pretend that nothing has happened, deep down inside we will always remember it because it has shaped us as human beings and will continue to influence us even in the future.
In addition to this, it’s important to keep in mind that people act according to their own beliefs and perspectives no matter what others think or do.
Understanding this and taking it into account, we can start to see that people’s actions are not the only thing that affects us.
For example, when we experience severe trauma or life-changing events, such as losing a loved one or experiencing a major accident in our body, then we will develop fears of the same things again and again.
In order to overcome these fears, all we have to do is look at how it happened and learn from it. Knowing that past experiences can influence our lives in the future, we have to be aware of how they can affect our thoughts and decisions. By confronting these fears, we can process them and get rid of them completely.
Fears Of Rules And Standards
As human beings, we all have the tendency to expect life to be fair, even though it never is in real life. We all want to get what we want when we want it and we all expect people to help us and support us when we need it.
This is something that children and young people struggle with a lot in their lives. As they grow up, they think that somehow other people are obligated to fulfill these expectations for them – which isn't exactly realistic.
This is why you may feel afraid of your parents getting angry with you, even though they are the most supportive people on earth. This is because you hold so much of your life in their hands and you expect them to support you in the same way that other people support their parents.
And this is why sometimes we may hate our friends for not being able to fulfill these expectations. We put all our hopes in them and we get angry if they're not able to do what we want them to do or when they don't have anything to say – especially if they could be doing a lot more if only they wanted to help us.
This is our own belief that other people should be like us. This is how we view the world around us and how we expect other people to be.
In order to overcome this, you have to start viewing people as their own individual entities instead of thinking that they should act or behave like you.
In particular, we may have developed a belief about what our friends should do for us. And for a lot of people, this may be quite difficult to let go of because it's very real in our minds – even though it's not exactly realistic.
In addition to this, we also tend to get angry with other people who don't share these beliefs with us – especially if they could help us in some way but they don't really want to or feel forced into doing so.
Conclusion: We have to understand that when we expect other people to be like us, it only makes us angry because we're not seeing them for who they really are.
Fears Of Losing Control
When we're in situations where we feel out of control, then we get afraid and this can even become a phobia. This is why many people can't stand the idea of being on stage or speaking in front of an audience. The reason for this is because they don't have any idea what others will say or what will happen next.
In these situations, people start feeling very insecure and afraid – even if they're perfectly capable of doing what they want to do.
