If a person periodically experiences bouts of intense fear and a feeling of discomfort, which begin completely unexpectedly for him, then it can be assumed that he suffers from some type of anxiety disorder. Of course, everyone wants to get rid of fear and take all measures to avoid a second attack.
Instructions
Step 1
To avoid fear, first you need to specify as much as possible the cause of its occurrence. It is necessary to analyze all situations in which a feeling of fear arises, to trace how it develops. In other words, study yourself and find out all the causes of anxiety or fear.
Step 2
Having found out the cause of the fear, imagine the worst possible scenario for the development of this situation. Take this option for granted, accept it. Then consider what you can do to avoid the worst-case scenario. Act according to the plan.
Step 3
Evaluate how likely it is to be in a situation in which you will feel fearful. In other words, think, maybe you are just over-exaggerating, and what you are afraid of, in reality, cannot happen at all.
Step 4
In case of a sudden attack of severe fear, you need to try to evaluate it on a ten-point system. You yourself will notice that with each passing moment the intensity of your feeling becomes less intense. Continue assessing the fear until the intensity is one or two points.
Step 5
A great way to avoid fear in the future is to present a frightening situation in a comical way. To do this, you can apply such techniques as deliberate exaggeration and the addition of fantasy elements to the situation. To achieve this, you need to give free rein to your imagination and not limit the flight of fantasy.
Step 6
And the last piece of advice. If you feel anxious, start circling your eyes to prevent it from escalating into anxiety. Very soon, to your surprise, you will find that the anxiety has disappeared and you will feel noticeable relief. Remember that there are people on Earth who suffer from much more terrible phobias, in comparison with whom all your worries and fears are just trifles that are not worth your attention.
