Face your fear if you can Anxiety problems tend to increase if you get into this pattern. Exposing yourself to your fears can be an effective way of overcoming this anxiety.

Fear is not a pleasant emotion. Fear is not comforting, nurturing, relaxing, or reassuring. What we all can agree on when it comes to fear is: it’s distressing. It’s uncomfortable; and much of the time that we’re in a state of fear, we’re simply seeking to navigate our way back out again.

Fear is an emotional response induced by a perceived threat, which causes a change in brain and organ function, as well as in behavior.

Fear may arise from a confrontation or from avoiding a threat, or it may come in the form of a discovery.

It’s easy to ignore our fears, but courage won’t make it to the playing field unless you have a fear to face down.

the next time you feel yourself in the grips of anxiety, try to identify the worry that’s plaguing you, and then, address the concern in a tangible, concrete way in the present moment.

Share your fears Talking about what’s irking us can really help alleviate the burden of anxiety. Find a trusted friend, partner, or confidant, and reveal the thing you’re scared of.

Confronting the thing you’re most frightened of can have an empowering effect; but this must be done carefully, slowly, and in small doses.
