Stop Being Afraid

Don't you hate it when something scares you and it just keeps tugging at the back of your brain? This article should help! Read on to figure out how to stop being scared.

Steps

 * 1) Convince yourself it isn't real. If what you are scared of doesn't exist (For example, ghosts.)/can't happen, tell yourself this over and over again.
 * 2) Talk to your mom/dad/friend/husband/wife/anyone you trust about what's scaring you. Trust me, it should help a lot.
 * 3) If you get scared, especially when you go to bed and the lights are off, get a special stuffed animal/pillow or loved pet to sleep with you. It will make you feel better to have something soft like a pillow/ stuffed animal to hug or have a pet to cuddle.
 * 4)  Think of something that is very funny to you, so maybe you'll laugh and you will almost completely forget about that scary thing.
 * 5)  Imagine yourself having two little "backpacks," one to stuff scary thoughts in, and one to pull cheerful thoughts out of.
 * 6)  If you are at a haunted house attraction of some kind, just look down at your feet and have a brave person guide you. (remember, they are all people like you and me, just in costume) also try pulling a jacket hood so that it is almost covering your eyes or even if you want to, rawr back at the person.

Tips

 * If you don't want to be scared, obviously, don't do stuff that will scare you!
 * Sleep with a fun, cheerful nightlight that changes colors. This is quite a bit better than a plain one that might make you MORE scared by casting shadows:)
 * Make a joke about what ever is scaring you such as maybe clowns or the dark. The next time this scares you, think about your joke.
