Dealing With Fear

 

            One thing that I have had to deal with is overcoming fear, for me this can be caused by three things and they could be subjects that I don't understand, negative experiences from the past, or it could be a sudden change. I overcame this challenge by exposing myself to a new subject little by little as I mentioned in my previous post How I Get out Of My Comfort Zone. Then I try to remember that I could learn from this new topic but only by allowing myself to not be afraid of it. If the fear is not caused by this then it could be dealing with an experience that I dealt with in the past, the way I solved this is by asking the question "why do I feel this way and how is this relevant to me now", and if there is no answer I usually move past it by taking slow deep breaths and think about something else. but when it's caused by a sudden change I will usually take time to research the subject that is causing the fear and by finding out the benefits of it then focus on those as apposed of what can go wrong. To sum this up the way that I overcame this is to expose myself to a new subject little by little, learning from the new subject or by doing research of what is causing me to be afraid which will allow me to overcome fear.
