It is common for any suitable person to be afraid of something new and unfamiliar, whether it be an unexpected task for a manager, a change of workplace, or a transition to another field of activity.

There is an opinion that when fear arises, it is necessary to get rid of it, to overcome it. But it doesn't really work that way.

Where there is no fear, there is no development. Fear puts us on the path of growth, self-knowledge, and transition to a new level.

What to do if fear prevents you from setting and achieving your own goals?

  • Take your fear by the hand and walk together towards your dreams
    We should not aim to stop being afraid to go to our goal. You have to learn to bring fear to your side and go at a comfortable pace. Be afraid and do it. And then you can look back and see that fear has long been lost somewhere along the way.

  • Believe in yourself, just trust.
    Staying true to your goal, even when you're very scared, is a sign of courage. Congratulate yourself on being able to face your fears and act without waiting for them to back down. This is your inner strength and it means a lot to achieve your goal. Acknowledge your weaknesses, remember your strengths, and move on. Carefully, step by step, taking into account the accompanying difficulties, for example constantly changing legislation or a subordinate who is careless in his calculations and often makes mistakes.

  • Take the first step
    Taking the first step is scary, but it is important! This is what will get things off the ground.

No, only mentally ill people are not afraid. When a person tells me that he is not afraid of anything, it is a lie.

So don't be afraid to be afraid, it's okay. Yes, there are situations when fear is unbearable, it controls a person's life and then you must learn to cope with it.

Tips:

There is a saying: Are you afraid? go where it's scary.
In many cases it works. For example, there are few people who are not concerned about public speaking. There is always some anxiety: unknown public, it is not known how it will be perceived. But when you constantly act, it gets easier.

Counterphobic techniques make a person fitter. When he has already faced something, then even if there is fear, but there is also a desire, having weighed the pros and cons, a person can decide: yes, it is scary there, but it is much more interesting there. This is how children learn to walk.
