A Layman's Guide to Managing Fear

All most everybody worries about what will happen in the future.

The prospect of not knowing if something good or bad will happen

to you in the near future can produce a lot of fear and anxiety.

As a result, here is a list of techniques and suggestions on how

to manage this fear of dealing with the unknown.

Remember is that no one can predict the future with one hundred

percent certainty. Even if the thing that you feared does happen

there are circumstances and factors that you can't predict which

can be used to your advantage. For instance, let's say at your

place of work that you miss the deadline for a project you have

been working on for the last few months. Everything you feared is

coming true. Suddenly, your boss comes to your office and tells

you that the deadline is extended and that he forgot to tell you

the day before. This unknown factor changes everything. Remember:

we may be ninety-nine percent correct in predicting the future,

but all it takes is for that one percent to make a world of

difference.

Learn to take it one day at a time. Instead of worrying about how

you will get through the rest of the week or coming month, try to

focus on today. Each day can provide us with different

opportunities to learn new things and that includes learning how

to deal with your problems. When the time comes, hopefully you

will have learned the skills to deal with your situation.

Sometimes, we can get anxious over a task that we will have to

perform in the near future. When this happens, visualize yourself

doing the task in your mind. For instance, you and your team have

to play in the championship volleyball game in front of a large

group of people in the next few days. Before the big day comes,

imagine yourself playing the game in your mind. Imagine that

you're playing in front of a large audience. By playing the game

in your mind, you will be better prepared to perform for real

when the time comes. Self-Visualization is a great way to reduce

the fear and stress of a coming situation and increase your

self-confidence.

Remember take a deep breath and try to find something to do to

get your mind off of you anxieties and stresses. A person could

take a walk, listen to some music, read the newspaper, watch TV,

play on the computer or do an activity that will give them a

fresh perspective on things. This will distract you from your

current worries.

A lot of times, our worrying can make the problem even worse. All

the worrying in the world will not change anything. All you can

do is to do your best each day, hope for the best, and when

something does happen, take it in stride. If you still have

trouble managing your anxiety of the future, then talking to a

counselor or clergyman can be of great help. There are ways to

help manage your fear and all it takes is some effort to find

those answers.
