“It’s time to face fear head-on. It’s time to confront your fears and learn how to overcome them by letting your thoughts become positive and your emotions joyful. Whatever your fears are, it’s time to minimize or eliminate them.
Confronting and overcoming fear means that you will have to step out of your comfort zone. It might not be comfortable, but it is well worth it.
Take a few minutes and write down your fears. Think about what kinds of fearful thoughts plague you.
- Do you fear a breakup? Your spouse cheating on you?
- Having no money? Losing your job?
- Sickness? Developing a life-threatening disease?
- Losing aloved one? Being on your own?
- Success? Flying?
- New relationship? Dating?
List everything that you can think of.
Now take those fears and write a positive sentence that reflects no fear. For example, if you fear that you will fail if you begin your own business, write:
- I am highly capable of beginning my own business
- I’m confident that I can do it and if any issues arise, I am confident that I can handle them
- I have great courage to face any fear that pops up
- I can do it!
Courage is the ability to do something despite fear. Trying something new is bound to bring some anxious thoughts, but be courageous and do it anyway. Look fear in the face and say, “I see you, but I’m walking through you.” Successful people have wrestled with fear, confronted it, and plodded on courageously.
So can you.
You can overcome fear with the dedication to work on the thoughts underlying the emotions.
Spend time daily boosting your faith and cultivating that sacred, quiet space where you connect with the source of peace and love that can help you calm any fear.
Adopting a daily practice of silent meditation and/or prayer can help you overcome fear too. In that quiet time, you can relax and learn to become more of an observer of your thoughts, rather than letting your thoughts control your emotions.
You can become a witness to the mind from the perspective of your spiritual being, and this will help you as you navigate your days.
- Take 10 to 15 minutes a day and just sit in silence.
- Take a few deep breaths and relax.
- Focus on your breath.
- If a thought pops into your mind, simply observe it and then let it float away.
It’s alright if thoughts come. Simply be an observer. You can also take some time to pray if you have a higher power, concerning any fears you’re contending with at the moment. Ask for help.
Cultivating a practice of quiet meditation or a relationship with your higher power can help you decrease fearful thoughts and enjoy more peace. You will begin to realize that you live in the present moment full of faith and love, knowing that you can quiet your thoughts.”
