Instructions
Step 1
Analyze what exactly are you afraid of? Why do you consider yourself not a brave enough person? For example, you are afraid to tell someone the truth in person, give flattering compliments, and whisper behind him about how bad he is. This is cowardice, fear. Or you quickly, in a roundabout way, pass by a group of bandits who beat and rob their victim without doing anything. This situation also characterizes you as a cowardly or hard-hearted person. But it is quite another matter if you are afraid to jump from a great height or through fire, walk along dark streets alone or reach out to a predator in a cage - this is how the instinct of self-preservation manifests itself, which often saves lives.
Step 2
Keep in mind that wanting to be completely fearless is wrong. This is well known to people who have to risk their lives by profession - for example, the military or rescuers. A courageous person is not one who is not afraid, but who makes the right decision despite the feeling of fear. Who overcomes fear and does what needs to be done.
Step 3
Avoid stupid, unjustified risks. There are situations when you need to be careful, think carefully before taking any decisive step. Deal with specific fears that keep you from living.
Step 4
For example, if you are afraid of being attacked by bandits, develop muscle strength, master the martial art that suits you. So you will become more confident in yourself, temper not only your body, but also your spirit. You can start training in the gym, under the guidance of an experienced trainer. Choose the martial art that best suits you in terms of temperament and physique. Sambo, boxing, karate are suitable for people with developed muscle mass, here the force of impact is at the forefront. Wushu, aikido, jiu-jitsu, etc. they are guided, first of all, by speed, dexterity, therefore, they are also suitable for those who do not have very developed muscles.
Step 5
Train your muscles at home, such training also helps to strengthen the strength of the spirit, gaining courage, self-confidence. You can practice on a horizontal bar, parallel bars, perform various push-ups, simple abdominal exercises, use dumbbells for training.
Step 6
Take up extreme sports. Rafting on mountain rivers, skydiving, mountaineering, etc. - in the company of like-minded friends, you will quickly forget about your fears and develop self-confidence.
Step 7
Increase the level of self-esteem, for this, do not set unrealistic goals for yourself, break each global task into small steps. Having achieved even a small success, do not forget to praise yourself for it, feel the taste of victory.
Step 8
To get rid of cowardice, fear of telling the truth to a person in the face, just do it once. This will increase your self-esteem, and your reputation in the eyes of other people will also increase. Next time, you probably won't be able to do it any differently. But, becoming a fighter for the truth, be prepared for the flip side of the situation - you will have enemies in the person of the people you have denounced with all the ensuing consequences. Is courage important to you in this matter? Perhaps it would be more correct to simply ignore the person you are unpleasant without entering into open confrontation with him? You decide.
Step 9
Be sure to fight with far-fetched fears, phobias, etc. It is very important to understand all the unreality of these fears, their exaggeration. Each phobia has its own method of overcoming it, which a psychologist can advise you. Often, people suffering from such fears once found the strength to face face to face with what scared them so much. And the fears disappeared.
Step 10
If you have an increased level of anxiety, do not watch or read crime news bulletins, refuse to discuss all kinds of problems with your interlocutors, do not focus on negative events, be friends with optimists. Sometimes, in order to become a brave person, it is enough to change your own worldview to a positive one, to be able to see that there are many good people in the world who do not wish you evil.
