What is fear?
One of the many fears that human has is the fear when they are dealing with uncertainty or fear of the unknown. They feel uncomfortable when they are not sure what will come next or what to do next.
This is also what is causing humans to dislike changes and prefer to stay in their current familiar comfort zone.
Therefore, fear can be overcome by certainty; by knowing what is going to happen next and how to deal with it. In other words, better preparation and positive mindset about what comes next will give you the confidence and courage not just to overcome fear, but to leap a big step forward as well.
Now how can you achieve that? The answer is by staying calm whenever you are faced with an obstacle. Only a clear and calm mind can come out with a solution. Humans are most vulnerable when they are in fear; when you panic, you cannot think.
So, how do we overcome panic? One of the ways is to learn to expand your capacity. To make it easier to remember, I shall categorise them based on our human body.
Brain- Increase your knowledge, learn more things. The more things you know, the more confident and intelligent you will be in dealing with people and matters.
Eyes- See more things, travel more to expand your horizon. Your thinking will not be the same when you are able to view things from different perspective and with an international view.
Ears- Listen to other people’s problem and analyse it. This way you will learn how others deal with problems and one day you might find that your problem is not really a big one after all.
Mouth- Talk about your problems, share your fears or what is troubling you with your love ones or friends. It is always easier to solve something when you are able to clearly define it and say it out.
Skin- Experience more things, keep doing the same thing until you are familiar with it. Just like someone who is afraid to drive, let them drive more. Adaptability will eventually overcome fear.
Nose- Last resort, be more alert. The ability to smell trouble and avoid it at all cost before it approaches.
I hope the simple suggestions above, which needed some time to learn and practice as well, can give you a life with lesser fear which equates to a happier life! Cheers!
