What is Fear?
Fear is one
of the most powerful (negative) emotions which have a very strong effect on your
body.
Fear can
immediately create strong signals of response like flight or fight, in case of
emergencies. It also happens when we are faced with non-dangerous events like exams, public speaking or a job interview.
Some people
become so overwhelmed by fear that they want to avoid situations that make them
frightened or nervous. Although it’s a bit hard to break this cycle but still
possible and there are lots of ways to do it. Some of them will be discussed here,
so let’s begin.
1: Face your fear if you can
Avoiding situations
that scars you are not going to help. The way to reduce your fear is by facing
it. Because once you will face it you will get to know that it’s not that much
scary that YOU THOUGHT. Fear problems tend to reduce when you get into this
pattern. Exposing yourself to your fears can be an effective way to reduce your
fears.

stomach are interconnected and they affect each other very much. Eating unhealthy
food can cause your stomach to function poorly and then your mind to become
anxious. That’s why try to eat lots of fruits and vegetables and avoid junk
food. Sugar and caffeine should be avoided as they are dangerous for your
anxiety and fear.
