Answer to Question 1

The following is a proven strategy for overcoming fear:

1 . First, admit you are afraid. List the things that cause you to feel fear. As you think about these things, try to imagine them without the emotion of fear. Learn to disassociate the pain from the event. This takes some practice, but you can do it.
2 . Next, confront your fear. Do whatever it is that you are so afraid of. Realize that your fear will intensify as you face it, but do it anyway. Go back to your mental pictures and try to imagine that the situation is not fearful.
3 . Do whatever you are so afraid of at least three times. Chances are that you will be less afraid each time. Chances are even better that you were afraid because you were unsure.
4 . As you confront your fear, call it something elseexcitement or a challenge, for example.

Momentum carries tremendous power. If we settle for one little victory, the growth stops there. To continue the progress, plan another visit into your discomfort zone and venture out again. Little by little, you will realize that fear is an illusion. With practice, you can adopt the feeling of assurance that you can handle it. One common thought that precedes the emotion of fear is a lack of trust in ourselves. We can allay a fear of failure with a sense of self-assurance and self-efficacy.
