Face Your Fears


Face Your Fears

Take small steps to overcome your fears with these expert tips:

·         Make a list of your fears. You can’t confront fears until you acknowledge them.

·         Visualize a life in which fears don’t stop you. Write down what you could accomplish if fears didn’t stop you. Picturing life without limitations can provide motivation to face fears.

·         Change your frame of mind. Your thoughts play a significant role in creating fears. Susan Jeffers, Author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, says sometimes managing fear can be as simple as telling yourself, “Whatever happen to me, I can handle it.”

·         Face your fear. Start with baby steps. Say, for example, you are scared of public speaking, but know it could help your business. Try speaking in front of five or your friends, suggest Stan Popovich, author of A Layman’s Guide to Managing Your Fear.  “Then up the number to 15,” he says. Small steps boost confidence and make confronting fears possible.
