All people are mortal. Sooner or later, everyone will have to step over the line that separates being from non-being. It is not surprising that people all the time wondered and continue to ask the question: what fate awaits them beyond that very line? And the fear of death is inherent to one degree or another in any person, even the most brave. It's just that someone knows how to muffle it, due to their peculiarities of character or religious beliefs, while in someone it takes the form of a real panic, an obsession.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, figure out why this fear exists and so stubbornly holds. Because there is still no clear understanding: "What will happen next?" It is the uncertainty, the uncertainty that shrouds death and everything connected with it, a mysterious and ominous halo, making people afraid. It is very well said about this in D. Defoe's famous book about Robinson Crusoe: "What we know torments us less with horror than omissions and speculation."
Step 2
Now, having received the answer to this question, call on common sense and cold logic to help. Think: if a person, fearing uncertainty, mystery, torments himself with fear, imagines the worst, to whom does he do it worse? Yes to myself! This is not life, but sheer torment.
Step 3
Pull yourself together, drive away obsessive thoughts. Suggest to yourself: "I am still alive and enjoy life, but there it will be seen!"
Step 4
Religious people often experience the fear of death because they believe in the immortality of the soul. According to their views, only the body dies - a perishable shell, and the soul continues to live. And with what arguments can atheists console themselves? For example, such: “We may not believe in God, but the Universe is so complex, there is such infinite variety in it, that the thought of the eternity of life is quite acceptable. After all, eternity can exist in a variety of forms, we just do not know about it until now”.
Step 5
It has long been known that idleness is the mother of all vices. When a person is really busy, he simply has neither the time nor the desire to mope, indulge in heavy thoughts. Of course, this should not be taken too literally - they say, you have to work until you are completely exhausted, then there will be no fear of death. But a person who lives fully, is engaged in a necessary, useful work, has interesting hobbies, hobbies, and sincerely enjoys life. And thoughts about death visit him very rarely.
