Do one thing every day that scares you. Living in our comfort zone is not the best way to live. Not doing the things that frighten you will increase the likelihood that your fears will become bigger – and taking over your life.

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 true inherent danger of fear is its ability to play with our emotions and challenge our perceptions.

The best way to halt these runaway fears is to confront them with present moment awareness.

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.

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.

Nothing can be solved if you keep fear as your top emotion, face your fears and overcome them!

Fear is one of the most powerful emotions. It has a very strong effect on your mind and body.

You can try setting yourself small, achievable goals for facing your fears. You could carry with you a list of things that help at times when you are likely to be become frightened or anxious. This can be an effective way of addressing the underlying beliefs that are behind your anxiety.

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.

Visualise a happy place Take a moment to close your eyes and imagine a place of safety and calm.Let the positive feelings soothe you until you feel more relaxed.
