A Layman's Guide to Managing Fear

Like everything in life, managing your fears and anxieties takes

practice. The more you do it, the better you will become. Here

are a few reminders on how you can become better at dealing with

your fears, depression, and anxieties.

In every anxiety-related situation you experience, begin to learn

what works, what doesn't work, and what you need to improve on

in managing your fears and anxieties. For instance, you have a

lot of anxiety and you decide to take a walk to help you feel

better. The next time you feel anxious you can remind yourself

that you got through it the last time by taking a walk. This will

give you the confidence to manage your anxiety the next time

around.

Challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and

realistic thinking. When encountering thoughts that make your

fearful or anxious, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself

questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense. For

example, you are afraid that if you do not get that job promotion

then you will be stuck at your job forever. This depresses you,

however your thinking in this situation is unrealistic. The fact

of the matter is that there all are kinds of jobs available and

just because you don't get this job promotion doesn't mean that

you will never get one. In addition, people change jobs all the

time, and you always have that option of going elsewhere if you

are unhappy at your present location. Changing your thinking can

help you manage your fears.

Sometimes, we may be nervous doing a certain task that may be

scary. When this happens, visualize yourself doing the task in

your mind. For instance, you and your team have to play in the

championship hockey 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 your 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.

When facing a current or upcoming task that overwhelms you with a

lot of anxiety, divide the task into a series of smaller steps

and then complete each of the smaller tasks one at a time.

Completing these smaller tasks will make the stress more

manageable and increases your chances of success.

Take advantage of the help that is available around you. If

possible, talk to a professional who can help you manage your

fears and anxieties. They will be able to provide you with

additional advice and insights on how to deal with your current

problem. By talking to a professional, a person will be helping

themselves in the long run because they will become better able

to deal with their problems in the future. Managing your fears

and anxieties takes practice. The more you practice, the better

you will become.

Remember that sometimes our worrying and fears can make the

problem even worse. Take things in stride and try not focus too

much on the problem. Patience, persistence, education, and being

committed in trying to solve your problem will go along way in

fixing your problems. In time, you will find the ways to overcome

your phobias.
