Fear is an emotion that operates in the lives of many. Fear can be debilitating. It can ruin a person’s life. Are you allowing fear to dominate your life and keep you from moving to the next level? It is time you learned how to overcome fear.

Here are some effective strategies you can use:

1.Identify the fear.What is your fear? Is your fear rational or irrational? If you fear something that can not hurt you such as a table or the floor – this is irrational. If you fear a person with an unstable personality – this is rational.

2.Talk to someone.It is wise to speak to a professional concerning your fears. Find a support group where you will feel comfortable talking about your fears. Someone else has dealt with the same fears.

3.Confront your fear.Talking about your fear is a good start, but sometimes you need to deal with your fear head on. You will never get over your fear unless you face it. You don’t have to face it alone, find a loved one that is willing to walk through the process with you. Find a safe and comfortable way to face your fear. The last thing you want to do is cause yourself anxiety.

4.Change how you do things.Sometimes facing your fear is just matter of making a decision to change it. If you have convince yourself that an irrational fear is real, you can do the same in reverse.

5.The best defense of a strong offense.Don’t hide from your fear – create a defense. Research your fear and learn about it. Discover the best way to destroy it with a direct attack. Sometimes you can beat fear by doing the very thing you fear. Repeat your experiment until you are not afraid anymore.

There are fears that are legitimate such as the fear of being burned while barbequing. Those types of fears are normal rational and does not need to be fixed. Fear in these circumstances can help you avoid disaster. Nevertheless, if fear is controlling your life, it is time to face it and conquer it.
