Face your fears!<br />
The best way to get over what scares you is to deal with it head<br />
on - otherwise you just try to avoid it and you find it ruins your life.<br />
Remember your fears are often much worse than things really<br />
are – often build up to something scary feels much worse than<br />
actually doing it.<br />
Start off slow, with something that you can manage, then do it<br />
again but this time push yourself a little bit further. Before you do<br />
it, try to calm yourself down – look at the breathing exercises<br />
earlier in the journal. Accept things may not go perfectly (there’s a<br />
section on setbacks as well in the journal.)<br />
Make a list of what you are scared of, then make a fear ladder<br />
here. Put the least scary thing at the bottom, and the most scary<br />
thing at the top. An example here is eating in around other people.<br />
<strong>Eating</strong> a meal in a<br />
restaurant<br />
Having a snack in a café<br />
Having a drink in a café<br />
<strong>Eating</strong> in front of a<br />
friend<br />
Having a drink with a<br />
friend<br />
Talking to someone while<br />
they are eating
