How To Overcome Fear

So a couple nights ago I watched the new Goosebumps movie, I had to watch it especially since I was a big fan of the books and TV show as a kid. Not only did I find the movie quite enjoyable it also gave me an idea for the video this week. This week’s video will be about how to overcome fear. It’s kind of funny really, alot of people like to be scared that’s why horror movies make a lot of money but don’t like to do things they are uncomfortable with or face their fears. Of course technically Horror movies are all make believe, fantasy, and in the end it is all the imagination of the writer, director, and the rest of the crew. And that is the same for most of the “Fear” in our lives or False Evidence Appearing Real. So in the end Fear is all in your mind, and that’s why alot of successful people aren’t the smartest people, they are just people who don’t overthink the situation. So you can know all this stuff about fear and know its all in the mind and still have trouble overcoming it, so that’s why I compiled a list of things that I do to overcome fear

1. Think about what you are afraid to do and think about what is the worst that could happen. Write it down if you have to. Whether its talking to new people, getting new customers, asking someone out on a date, whats the worst that could happen? You could get rejected, yup. You could embarrass yourself but guess what you are still alive, amd well and at least you did  your best and tomorrow is another day

2. Overcoming your fear with a friend or a partner. Now of course there are some fears that can’t overcome with a friend or a partner but there are definitely some that you can and believe me it is a lot easier when you have someone to do this with. I’ve overcame some fears with friends and I will continue to do so.

3. Just do it! It’s like a band aid right, you can either rip off very slowly which will probably  be pretty painful or you can rip off and get it over real quick. And once you do it, you’ll realize hey it wasn’t that bad but the longer you wait, the worse it’s going to be. And the quicker you do it, you less your mind has time to think about the situation its in.
