Discover the 10 Golden rules
on how to conquer your Fear.
by Fernando Soave © 2003
We all want happiness and peace of mind. In the search for these
blessings, millions of people take "happy pills" which they hope will
relieve their tensions and make them feel more cheerful.
Pacifying pills aren't cure-alls. Though sometimes helpful in
individual cases, pacifying pills aren't cure-alls for the worry
habit. Many of the pills do bring a few hours of apparent relief from
worry. But none of them bring permanent peace of mind.
To get rid of abnormal fears and worries, you have to find their
cause. Once it's found, you have to do something about that cause to
eliminate the effects, attempts must be made to remove the cause.
Here you can discover some methods for conquering your fear. They
have proved helpful to almost everyone who has tried them.
1.
Analyze exactly what you are afraid of.
Any
fear that is faced honestly and truthfully may be conquered, if the
source of the fear can be determined.
2.
Analyze your problem : can something be done ?
This
famous prayer embodies a philosophy of life that has helped change
the attitudes of thousands of persons for the better. So I quote it
because this prayer may change your life.
"God,
grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; The
courage to change the things I can; And the wisdom to know the
difference."
If
something can be done, do it. If nothing can be done, stop stewing
about it. We must all accept the inevitable or face mental
disaster.
3.
Compute the likelihood of the thing you fear happening.
Compare
and study statistics of the thing you fear and you will find the
chances of what you fear are remote.
4. Do the
thing you fear.
In
order to get rid of fear, we usually have to expose ourselves over
and over again to the situation we fear.
5. Learn
to deal with problems as soon as they arise.
Many of
our worries arise from our postponement of decisions. Don't
vacillate. It is better to make a wrong choice than to tear
yourself apart making and remaking the same decision.
Because
where there is indecision, there are doubts. Where there are
doubts, you have conflict. Where you have conflict, you have
symptoms.
The
longer your indecisiveness lasts, the more difficult the problem
seems to become. If you vacillate long enough, your state of
anxiety can become chronic.
There
is no recipe for infallibility. The trouble with most of us is that
we want some sure fire recipe for being right 100% of the time.
There is no such recipe.
6.
Overcome your fear of making mistakes.
Many of
our fears are based on past mistakes. Instead of profiting from our
failures and learning from them, we let the memory of them paralyze
us. We might ask ourselves : "What have I to lose if I act as
though I did not fear the thing I do fear?"
When
you discover you have nothing to lose, you release within yourself
the power of positive action.
7. Have
faith in your ability to solve problems.
Don't
judge yourself more harshly than other people judge you.
8. Don't
expect to be completely worry-free.
Some
fears and worries have a rational basis while others are based on
exaggeration and misinterpretation. But only a moron could go
through life completely unconcerned and unworried every second of
every day.
Faced
with a situation he fears, every human being either : a. Runs away
from it; b. Faces it or c. Retreats temporarily, gathers his
reserve strength together and then attacks the situation again.
You
can't successfully flee from fear. Running away from any situation
or fear is foolish.
We can,
by our small daily actions, learn to triumph over small fears and
so build up the king of courage that will help us face large
emergencies successfully.
9.
Compensate for physical shortcomings instead of worrying about them.
Don't
worry too much about physical shortcomings that can't be changed.
The chances are you have desirable traits that make your friends
and associates forget those shortcomings completely. Either those
shortcomings can be changed or you
can learn to compensate for them.
10. Have
Faith in God's ability to run His universe intelligently.
Faith is
the key to unlock the unlimited powers of the mind, the heart, the
soul. Faith that you can win out over disasters and set-backs, Faith
that smashes fear. Faith in the ultimate realization of your hopes.
