"Fear is only a problem when you are afraid of your fears"

THE FEAR

Is an emotion characterized by an intense unpleasant sensation caused by the perception of a danger, real or supposed, present, future or even past. Fear is one of the most primitive human emotions that exist, because it is oriented to the survival of the individual, that is, it is a natural response to a challenge. It is a defense mechanism that generates your own body in situations of imminent danger. Indeed, fear alerts us to the presence of risks that threaten our lives: a threatening looking dog, the open field at night, a sound that we do not know where it comes from, a car that is approaching at full speed.

HOW IS IT FACED WITH FEAR?

<div class="text-justify"As a first step, fear must be naturalized, that is, accepted before danger and nothing else. And everything in the head, regulate it. Fear in a job interview or on a first date is normal. But the 'other fear' must try to expel it. It is an inner impulse that seeks to defend us from an unreal danger that the mind strives to believe.

5. Visualize success.
Athletes can imagine the successful completion of a physical task thousands of times before they achieve it.

6. Have a sense of proportion.
How big is really the thing you're afraid of? Sometimes we feel so caught up in the success or failure of a particular search that we lose the sense of where it fits with everything we value. Ask yourself, what is the worst that can happen? Sometimes reality is bad, but often fear itself is worse than what you fear will happen.
