Fear Paralyzes Action
The most common reaction in a fear situation is the attitude of, “I can’t!”
This is the fear of failure that stops us from taking action. It often shuts down the brain and causes us to revert to the “fight-or-flight” reaction.
Visualize Yourself as Unafraid
Your self-image, the way you see yourself and think about yourself, is eventually altered by feeding your mind these positive mental pictures of yourself performing at your best.
So visualize yourself performing with confidence and competence in an area where you are fearful.

Fear Is Real
Fear is everywhere and yet fear can be overcome, controlled and can even be a power for good.
Accept your fear relative to you.
Get Some Perspective
- Are you really at risk?
- Will this kill you?
- If the worse was to happen what would it be?
Could that really happen?
- If the worse did happen, how would you recover?
- If the worse were to happen, what would you need to do next?
By seeing fear as not the end destination but part of being human, you can see through its wily evil ways and move forward.
Hold a Hand
Think of someone you can always rely on, be it your friend, partner, colleague, parent, sibling and say: “Right I need to deal with this, and I’m going to need you to help me.”
They, in turn, will feel valued, loved and respected.
