Overcoming Fear And Moving On

By Stephanie Wagner


Being afraid of something is natural. It may be a wild animal or when you decide to climb on a roller coaster. However, fear can take over your life as well. This is when it becomes a problem. It can come in the form of a social situation or a phobia which you face on a daily basis. Overcoming fear is, however possible, but one needs to work on this.

Often, one thinks that they are just afraid of snakes, for example. But often, there is an underlying reason for this. It can go back to their childhood when they were exposed to reptiles by force. It was not something that the child would have enjoyed. This is the reason why one needs to talk about the underlying reason, first and foremost.

Some people would have failed so many times during their childhood. They would have bad memories from teachers or parents who have not been happy with their performance. They are fearful of making the same sorts of mistakes. This is why one has to be careful with setting goals. They can sometimes be unrealistic. This can lead to failure once again.

Not many people enjoy being vulnerable. It is difficult to to talk about your feelings. It is not easy talking about the past and the trauma you have suffered from. However, often this is the only way in which you are going to get past the fear in your life. It takes a lot of courage to get past this.

People often find that they are faced with fear when performing. This can often be referred to as performance anxiety. An example of this is public speaking. However, it has also been proven that practice can be the best way of getting past this type of fear. There are some great speakers who started off in the same way. There are also famous musicians who suffered from stage fright, but over time, with practice, they were able to overcome this.

When faced with one of these attacks, it is important to ask yourself what caused it. There is usually a trigger. You may have been out shopping in a public space, and find that the anxiety simply takes over. Sometimes, people begin to talk to themselves in a negative way before a big event. This continues to build up to the point where they become more and more anxious.

This is where cognitive behavior therapy can do wonders for someone who is more negative in their behavior. It is not something that one is doing on purpose. They may not be negative, by nature. But, they envision themselves entering a social situation, not knowing what to do or who to talk to. They may fear that they are being judged.

Being afraid of failure is common for both extroverts and introverts. It happens to so many people and it is a natural occurrence. When a business fails, it is obvious that you will be wary of starting a new business up because you will be afraid the same thing is going to happen to you. It can be nerve wracking starting your own business, not knowing whether it is going to take off. These are things to work through.
