Step 1:- Face It Just Once

So for instance, I was scared of Lizards, but one day, when I was going to my friend's house, I saw a lizard on the way to the door. I didn't go inside, not having my mobile phone, waited for some minutes so that some one from their house come out and I would ask them to call my friend. Same happened for some days. The other day, I saw a lizard again, at the very same place, but this time I just decided that I have to get over this fear, and walked right in the house, at my normal pace. That was the day when I actually got over the fear.
