Be Fearless

Fear about fear, or anything else is a major problem in many people's lives. Therefore we have composed a little article to help you become fearless of normal things.

Steps

 * 1) List your fears out. Dogs? Fire? Thunderstorms? Night? Darkness? Do not hesitate. Think about it carefully, because this is a major part of overcoming your fears. This method also works for more common fears such as public speaking, terrorism or death.
 * 2) Then beside it, write down a reason why you should NOT be afraid of this thing. For Example - Thunderstorms : They normally are harmless! If I am afraid of them, I'll Cuddle With My Cat During One.
 * 3) Tuck the piece of paper into a safe place and don't lose it!
 * 4)  Whenever you are abnormally frightened of something, take deep breaths and count to twenty. Hopefully you'll feel a bit better.
 * 5)  If it doesn't work, take out the piece of paper and read it. Read it as many times as it takes to calm you down.
 * 6)  Watch videos or movies related to your fear and watching the characters overcome their fears can be greatly beneficial.
 * 7)  Try not to think about it. You will only get more frightened if you obsess over it!

Tips

 * Remember that fear itself is irrational. Even if we exercise fear in genuinely dangerous situations, it does little to help and often puts ourselves and others in even more danger.
 * Don't be too stressed! Anxiety or stress may make you abnormally terrified about normal things.
 * Don't hesitate to talk it out! Friends and family are great listeners. If you are shy, then for a more expensive price, you can see a doctor.
 * Its all in your head. Ignore your fears and don't think about them.

Warnings

 * Really abnormal fears are called 'phobias'. These can be fears about anything. You have to see a doctor about these.
 * Do not mistake stupidity for fearlessness. Driving drunk on the wrong side of a road that overlooks a cliff exhibits stupidity, not fearlessness.
