How To Overcome A Fearful And Scary Situation
All most everybody worries about what will happen if they are in
a stressful and scary situation. The prospect of not knowing
what to do can be frightening. As a result, here is a list of
techniques and suggestions on how to manage the fear of an
upcoming situation
The first thing a person can do is to visualize yourself doing
the scary task in your mind. For instance, you and your team
have to play in the championship volleyball game in front of a
large group of people in the next few days. Before the big day
comes, imagine yourself playing the game in your mind. Imagine
that your playing in front of a large audience. By playing the
game in your mind, you will be better prepared to perform for
real when the time comes. Self-Visualization is a great way to
reduce the fear and stress of a coming situation.
Try to find the motivation from within before performing the
task. You will be more successful if you have a solid reason for
doing the task. If you are not sure why you are doing a certain
task, then the fear will get the best of you. Having the
motivation and enthusiasm will help you to manage the fear and
increase your chances of success.
When encountering a scary situation that gets us all upset,
always remember to get all of the facts of the given situation.
Gathering the facts can prevent us from relying on exaggerated
and fearful assumptions. By focusing on the facts, a person can
rely on what is reality and what is not.
Take it one step at a time. Don't try to do too much at the same
time because you will be easily overwhelmed. Take it slow and go
at your own pace if you are able.
Don't forget to Pray and ask God for help. A person can only do
so much. Asking God for help can give us additional resources to
help manage our fears and anxieties. It is not always easy,
however God is in control and he will help you if you ask him.
As a Layman and author of an anxiety book, I have faced many
situations that made me anxious and fearful. I realize it is not
easy to deal with the fear of the unknown, however sometimes the
fear can be worse than the situation. If you have trouble
managing your anxiety, then talking to someone who can make you
feel better.
