Tips to overcome fear!-
16-Oct-2020
It
is an emotion experienced when the autonomic nervous system releases a
hormone called adrenaline, energizing the system to fight or flight.
Fear actually functions as an alarm, motivating the person to hyper alert.
Though fear is highly valuable to make a person alert from any dangers, it is
equally true that fear can be traumatic, demoralizing and in many cases
paralysing. This is mainly the reason most of us prefer to be in a safe
and balanced routine, rather than uncertain and vulnerable situations
from where fear escalates.
Fear can be classified into many like fear of the future, evil, being alone, illness, failure, competition and so on....
In
handling fear, most of us dont want to face it up-front. Instead, we
try to hide it in the bottom of the mind. As a result, we actually do
not know what we are really afraid of.
It is highly important to find out what are we afraid of and what was the underlying reason for the fear.
Here are few tips to face the fear:
Face the truth:
Nobody is free from fear. The moment we accept that we too are
susceptible to fear, then we will try to find an answer to the
problem.
Analyse the reason for fear: Ask yourself with questions like
What am I afraid of and why?
What are the consequences of my fear?
What can I possibly do about it?
Never try to be perfect: In
our urge to be perfect and possible failure lurking in the back of the
mind, we avoid making even an attempt. Greater the expectation: greater
the disappointment too.
Just be your best. That's excellence.
Fight your weakness:
Everybody has some weakness or the other. But, it is highly important
to work on the weakness and get the better of it. Remember, there are
people waiting to take advantage of your weakness. If the weakness
cannot be resolved, seek help.
