Managing Your Fears, Anxieties, And Phobias Takes Practice
Copyright (c) 2006-2008 Stanley Popovich

A Layman's Guide to Managing Fear



Like everything in life, managing your fears and anxieties takes
practice. The more you do it, the better you will become. Here
are a few reminders on how you can become better at dealing with
your fears, depression, and anxieties.

In every anxiety-related situation you experience, begin to learn
what works, what doesn't work, and what you need to improve on
in managing your fears and anxieties. For instance, you have a
lot of anxiety and you decide to take a walk to help you feel
better. The next time you feel anxious you can remind yourself
that you got through it the last time by taking a walk. This will
give you the confidence to manage your anxiety the next time
around.

Challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and
realistic thinking. When encountering thoughts that make your
fearful or anxious, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself
questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense. For
example, you are afraid that if you do not get that job promotion
then you will be stuck at your job forever. This depresses you,
however your thinking in this situation is unrealistic. The fact
of the matter is that there all are kinds of jobs available and
just because you don't get this job promotion doesn't mean that
you will never get one. In addition, people change jobs all the
time, and you always have that option of going elsewhere if you
are unhappy at your present location. Changing your thinking can
help you manage your fears.

Sometimes, we may be nervous doing a certain task that may be
scary. When this happens, visualize yourself doing the task in
your mind. For instance, you and your team have to play in the
championship hockey game in front of a large group of people in
the next few days. Before the big day comes, imagine yourself
playing the game in your mind. Imagine that your playing in front
of a large audience. By playing the game in your mind, you will
be better prepared to perform for real when the time comes.
Self-Visualization is a great way to reduce the fear and stress
of a coming situation.

When facing a current or upcoming task that overwhelms you with a
lot of anxiety, divide the task into a series of smaller steps
and then complete each of the smaller tasks one at a time.
Completing these smaller tasks will make the stress more
manageable and increases your chances of success.

Take advantage of the help that is available around you. If
possible, talk to a professional who can help you manage your
fears and anxieties. They will be able to provide you with
additional advice and insights on how to deal with your current
problem. By talking to a professional, a person will be helping
themselves in the long run because they will become better able
to deal with their problems in the future. Managing your fears
and anxieties takes practice. The more you practice, the better
you will become.

Remember that sometimes our worrying and fears can make the
problem even worse. Take things in stride and try not focus too
much on the problem. Patience, persistence, education, and being
committed in trying to solve your problem will go along way in
fixing your problems. In time, you will find the ways to overcome
your phobias.
