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.

It can consist of a phobia, a social disorder or panic. Many people are afraid of failure. It can include a relationship, especially when they have failed at this many times before. They may be anxious about starting a new business when their previous business did not work out.

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.

It can be a good idea to work with a life coach or a business coach. Someone like this is experienced in a more practical way. They will help the individual to make the right decisions. They help the person to set goals which are realistic and measurable. It can sometimes be tough when you are running a business by yourself, and someone like this will act like a mentor.

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.

Support is essential when you are trying to overcome this. This can come in the form of close friends or family members. There are also support groups who you are able to connect with. You will find that you are in the same boat and this helps you to feel less alone in the world. One needs to be encouraged during this time.

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.

They will have a bad day and come last. However, they keep on going and they will be other days when they will come first. If they come last and give up, they will continue to fall behind. It is the same with a person who has social anxiety or panic attacks. The fear will take over and they will find that they may even develop agoraphobia.
