How To Overcome Your Fear?

Mar 18, 2025 | Tip for a Terrific Tuesday

I want to share three tips that can help you to overcome a fear, something you are afraid of that causes you to be anxious.

First, I want you to learn more about that fear.

Why are you afraid?

And you may find through learning more about it that your fear is unfounded, because it’s based on what I call F.E.A.R.— false evidence that appears real.

Secondly, I want you to practice deep breathing when you feel afraid or anxious, because when you breathe in and exhale slowly, you will feel calmer.

And thirdly, you can let nature be your therapist when you are fearful about something.

Change your mindset, and let your brain shift from fear to being calm and clear-thinking by running or bicycling, and see if this helps.
