Overcoming Fear And Moving On

By Stephanie Wagner


Being afraid of something is natural. It may be a wild animal or when you decide to climb on a roller coaster. However, fear can take over your life as well. This is when it becomes a problem. It can come in the form of a social situation or a phobia which you face on a daily basis. Overcoming fear is, however possible, but one needs to work on this.

This is obviously frightening because you are not in control of yourself in an emotional way or a physical nature. Your heart rate will escalate. You start to sweat. Trepidation sets in. Sometimes, you feel as if you just want to escape, but you can't even move. It is no wonder why people just prefer to stay at home. This is where it becomes worse.

Often, this happens because of something which happened in the past. It could be abuse or the environment which you came from. When you ignore these issues, you won't be able to deal with the fear. Often, there are triggers which set these attacks off. It is important to look at what these triggers are.

It can be a good idea to work with a life coach or a business coach. Someone like this is experienced in a more practical way. They will help the individual to make the right decisions. They help the person to set goals which are realistic and measurable. It can sometimes be tough when you are running a business by yourself, and someone like this will act like a mentor.

People often find that they are faced with fear when performing. This can often be referred to as performance anxiety. An example of this is public speaking. However, it has also been proven that practice can be the best way of getting past this type of fear. There are some great speakers who started off in the same way. There are also famous musicians who suffered from stage fright, but over time, with practice, they were able to overcome this.

Support is essential when you are trying to overcome this. This can come in the form of close friends or family members. There are also support groups who you are able to connect with. You will find that you are in the same boat and this helps you to feel less alone in the world. One needs to be encouraged during this time.

This is where cognitive behavior therapy can do wonders for someone who is more negative in their behavior. It is not something that one is doing on purpose. They may not be negative, by nature. But, they envision themselves entering a social situation, not knowing what to do or who to talk to. They may fear that they are being judged.

Fear is very relevant in relation to failure. People are often controlled by this when they have had bad experiences in the past. They may have suffered from emotional abuse in the home environment. It makes them feel inadequate, and they will never feel good enough. It can be an experience which they have recently struggled from. It can relate to the failure of a marriage or a business. Support is necessary at a time like this.
