“The key to change… is to let go of Fear…!!!” - Roseanne Cash
People have fear about something or the other in their lives. I personally used to be afraid of thunderstorms as I have heard a lot of stories since I was a child and it was just terrifying. And honestly, I'm still afraid of it.
Fear is just a normal reaction to keep us safe. Some people fear they would fail in the exam, some fear to visit a doctor, some fear getting rejected, some fear a stranger standing on their door and whatnot. But this fear sometimes can turn into a problem or a nightmare. I have heard so many people that have nightmares about the same thing that they fear. But you can overcome your fear. Yes, it's possible.
Learn more about your fear. One time we had a trip to Uttarakhand or Nanital, there was some sort of games over there. My cousin wanted to try Paragliding and so I. But here the problem was I'm very much scared of heights. He did it but I couldn't. Like I almost went there, everything was perfect but I couldn't do it. The fear almost told me to back off. And I backed off. But now I can do it. I learned what made me stopped there.
Use your imagination positively. As I told I m scared of heights. But there is much lot of things like Skydiving, Skiing, Trekking, Bungee jumping, like all of them are of heights. First I never thought like it will be fun. Every time first question that used to come to my mind was What if I fall from that high? What if the rope gets broken from the middle. And I swear I have never been on a Roller coaster till now. But since I started thinking positively, it's like I m very eager to have fun and complete all the things that are on my wishlist.
As I said earlier, I'm afraid of thunderstorms. Like what if it lands straight on me. I will be dead in seconds. I did not go out of my house when there are thunderstorms. But one day I was watching a south Indian dubbed movie. I don't remember its name. In that movie, the heroine smiles whenever the thunder strikes. So the hero asks her if she has gone mad, what was she doing. She simply answers that I should look good as God is taking pictures of them. I mean I don't know why but I honestly loved that answer and since that day I sit on my window with my coffee mug and enjoy watching the beauty of thunders because why not.
You all will also say I'm gone mad but honestly try it you will feel better. Try overcoming your fears and then see how your life will be changed.
