I've noticed that the process of "getting to know" a fear is similar to the pain stage. This is easy to understand because something in you dies, a negative attitude to fear. And its demise is bound to bring pain. On top of that, the "walls" that are supposed to protect you from fear are threatening to collapse. The following stages may or may not occur in overcoming fear. Stage 1 begins with shock. Many people don't want to admit that they do carry a lot of "fear baggage" that is seriously hindering their lives. It may take a few days to get over the shock. Just let them live, and when you're ready, they'll pass. Stage 2 is followed by depression. This can be related to anxiety or depression. Most people think about things at this stage, and so do I. Accept it slowly, because the feeling of depression will pass, and it is a good process. This shows that you are serious about overcoming these difficulties. Stage 3 Now, the possibility of accepting this reality becomes clearer. A new positive attitude is emerging. You can see how your fears limit you. And what it would mean to you if you weren't so scared. Your life will be completely different and you will gradually realize your dream instead of letting it become a fantasy. You finally dare to ride a roller coaster or go skydiving. More and more things you are willing to try, and you will come to expect them. When you get over your fear, what do you expect? What big wish, dream, or goal do you have? The only thing I can promise you is this: While I can't guarantee that your desires for happiness and fulfillment will come true, you will slowly move closer to those dreams when your fears are no longer holding you back, because many of these fears are the sole reason people don't achieve what they want. Not because: • Lack of motivation: A lot depends on your imagination for your dream. • Lack of money: There are many ways to get money to fulfill your desires, but you may not know it right now. • Social factors: People who are not supportive of your goals should be questioned about their place in your life. • Intellectual issues: Creativity and passion do not require intelligence, but dedication and interest. What do you think is holding you back from making a decision? Or have your fears taken over so much that you don't even know your dreams, goals, and desires?
