If you have been struggling to overcome fear and become courageous, this post shares tips to conquer fear. I hope the ideas shared here will help you become fearless and believe in yourself.
Get ready to achieve anything!
Fear is a prevalent emotion that lessens the urge to make a positive lifestyle change. We forget that fear is a false concept – created in our minds.
However, by natural law, humans’ survival instinct is to protect themselves against imminent danger. But when fear grips us 24/7, it turns into a habit.
Most of the time fear thoughts are built since childhood. Later, the reluctance to get out of familiarity makes us forget the purpose of our lives.
Fear small or big always presents itself as a stumbling block from moving forward in life. The courage to overcome fear is always in our control. But we stop ourselves from getting out of our comfort zones.

How to Overcome Fear and Be Courageous
Things we are normally afraid of:
- Small things – like fear of insects, fear of heights, or being afraid of darkness. These are very common ones in most of us! These fears vary as per individual.
- Fear of any person: This type of fear is also individual based. Many of us as children used to be scared of somebody for no reason. Maybe it was a way for the elders to make us behave a certain way.
- Change of things and situations around you – Any transformation needs you to have change. Getting out of your comfort zone is the primary fear that shakes us. Stepping into the unknown is what makes any of us take back foot on new things.
Personally many fearful thoughts once made me trapped in a false notion. And they clipped me from feeling free. I used to think of fear and was hesitant to change. But it was an illusion of a familiar place that gave me comfort without any progress!
This is where you need to take fear head on and push forward. Change is where we all evolve to our highest selves.
- Fear of loss of something familiar hinders your progress in life – Statements like:
What is the need of …. when I am already settled
What if I lose my…
Why am I wasting my time trying…
What if my friends or family do not approve of my choices? Will I feel left out?
These statements are not for the loss you think in your mind. Rather they are excuses for not taking a different route. Who knows it can bring you to your desires you always wanted to attract.
- Fear of FAILURE, shame for not making it, embarrassment from any acts or words. These fears make you anxious in the form of worry, doubt, and uncertainty. These fears are created in minds that have no existence.
Fear based urgency to complete or achieve any goals and desires by a certain age is a recipe for stress and anxiety.
Your life path can be different from the next one. I believe that no one has to be a part of a cluster to please others just to be appreciated for their life choices.
- Life regrets later on: Self-doubt if something goes wrong while following your mind. What if you regret your decision later on if your current steps turn out a flop?
While it is better to fail right now by doing something you always wanted to do while repenting later in life for not giving it a shot. Maybe you would not have failed at all in your choice! Everything is in your mind.
TIPS TO OVERCOME FEAR
HOW TO BE BRAVE:
Let us find out the 7 ways how you can easily let go of any fear and stand brave in front of any adversaries.
SELF-ACCEPTANCE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF FEAR
Firstly, we all have some kind of fear in our lives. There is nothing to be ashamed of, as it is very natural for humans. But if you negate that fear and come off as a bold person, you are not being true to yourself.
Accept your fears and acknowledge them so that you can take steps to remove them from your life. You no longer fight against it but naturally take each fear down with ease and belief.
Take fear as a challenge you need to remove from your mind. This is how you become strong and accept to reject the false notion in every fear.
SELF LOVE
Staring pouring self love to fill your mind with gratitude for everything you are right now. Appreciate yourself for the person you are.
Treat yourself with kindness and avoid being critical about any mistake you commit. These are a negative mindset that draws us down the road of inculcating false fearful thoughts.
Loving yourself also improves your self worth and you feel yourself as an important person who deserves the best in life.
SELF CONFIDENCE
When you are trembling with fear in any situation self confidence goes out of window. You start to feel yourself as a little thing.
But here is the time to stop as your self concept determines your external world. When you give energy to false things that might never happen you are welcoming them more to arrive in your world.
Do you need that? Certainly NO!
Things like attending social gatherings, speaking in public forums, or taking your swimming lesson give many of us dreading chills.
Take control of your anxious mind. Decide how you want to lead your life. Have the right attitude of mind and self confidence to improve your ideals.
LET GO OF WHAT OTHERS THINK OF YOU
It is time to be done with people’s opinions about you. You are not supposed to make others like you by negating your likes and dislikes.
You don’t have to be afraid of anyone for your life choices. Trying to be a part of a group foreshadows your authentic self.
If you wish to live a more free life you have to let go of the judgments of others.
Straying away from the expected path set by society and listening to your heart needs courage. It is where you will transcend and become a better version of yourself.
MOVE FORWARD IN LIFE THINK OF POSITIVE OUTCOMES
Instead of giving all your energy to fearful thoughts. Focus on your dreams and what will happen when your dreams come true.
Hold a positive view of life and move forward with courage. That is what our lives are. Not to strangle us with false fear.
Rather than thinking about what could go wrong believe in all things going right for you. This is not a false expectation but keeping your faith higher than your false fears.
