How to identify and overcome your fears (in six simple steps)

This article shows you, 6 simple steps, to identify and overcome your fears.

Many cannot name their fears. Many don't even know why they fear what they fear.

Many people dread talking about their fears

But one of the ironies of life is that the things you don't know, that you ordinarily should have known, are the things that cause you your the greatest loss.

Fear feeds on ignorance. And ignorance is costly.

It's time to beam light on those dark areas and let light flood your heart.

Step 1.

Take a piece of paper, and write out all the things you fears! Don't leave out anyone.

Name your fears

Step 2.

After that, rule a line in front of each fear.

Step 3.

Then on the other side of the line, write in front of each fear, all the reasons why you fear it.

Every fear has a source, an identity and a remedy

Step 4.

With the information you've written out, critically re-examine each fear.

Once you can unmask the identity of a fear,
overcoming it becomes easier

Step 5.
Three things would happen:

i. You would suddenly see, face to face, the reasons why you fear some of the things you fear.

ii. With the unmasked information you now have, you would realise some of the things you fear do not deserve to be feared. Your fear for those things would suddenly disappear.

Knowledge cures ignorance, light cures darkness

iii. You would also realize that there are some things you still fear.

Step 6.

Take another look at the things you still fear in 5(iii) above.

You'd realise there's at least, one uncertainty you don't know about each of the things you fear!

Dedicate some time in the after your self-analysis to filling in the blank spaces, in getting more information about the aspects of your fears that you didn't know.

Incomplete information and outright ignorance are the reasons for you fear the things you fear!
