Thread: How do you deal with fear?

Fear is a powerful emotion. It can change how anyone reacts to a situation. While there are other factors involved with how you react, fear definitely plays a major role when you get caught up in it. When I am in a fearful situation, I try to just let it unfold and feel the fear until it passes.

Fear is a constant, but accepting it will make you stronger. -King Leonidas

good quote

For silly little things like random anxiety (e.g. before giving a talk), I think the best policy is to just get on it before you can have the chance to have the conversation with your mind. The less rationalization, the better. If you're busy getting on it, your mind will eventually be on your side and put the fear aside.

I never thought of it that way. That makes a lot of sense.

On a side note, that's also the only way I can get out of bed earlier than I'd like. Don't let your mind rationalize sleeping just another 10 minutes... just get up before you think about it
