Run Towards Your FearPeople often think that best way to avoid fear is to escape from it, but actually, that is the worst thing one can do. After noting down what are your fears exactly, try to run towards them instead of trying to escape them. For example, if you have a stage fear, instead of avoiding to go on stage in occasions, go and stand on stage, speak as freely as you can. Initially, your legs will shake, you will sweat and your heartbeats will race by fear of being wrong, speaking wrong or by thinking what will others think or what if they laugh at you but slowly all the fear will disappear and you will be excellent at facing the huge audience.
Understand That Fear Is Not Always DangerousThere are two kinds of fear, good and bad fear. Fear of people laughing at you when you deliver a speech is a bad fear while fear of being fired from the job if you don’t complete the task by the deadline is a good fear. Understand the difference and work accordingly.
