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.

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.
