What are you really afraid of? Ask yourself this question during meditation until you get to the very root of your fear. Watch out for common patterns in your anxiety and how you react to it (by repressing it, fighting against it etc.)
We are often afraid of something because we are attached to it. Know that nothing in life is permanent and that nothing is truly yours, all that you have is borrowed until you die.
Take a look at how big your fear is by placing it on a scale from 0 (=not bad at all) to 10 (=the worst thing that could possibly happen).
