Decide if you should face your fear

• Consider the pros and cons of not facing your fear. 
• Write those down. 
• Identify the pros and cons of tackling your fears head-on. 
• Write down what you might achieve or how your life might be different.

The best way to conquer a fear is to face your fears head-on in a healthy manner that helps you move past the fear rather than in a way that traumatizes you.
