Maybe you need to encounter a rat to feel the fear, or perhaps you experience it when you see images of rats on television or in print. Figure out what kind of exposure to rats leads you to fear. Only by positively identifying the circumstances in which you feel fear can you work to overcome it. Consider where your fear came from. It may have been caused by a specific, traumatic event involving a rat, or maybe you have a lot of information about the dangers of rats. Maybe your home is infested and you want to move around it without fear. Perhaps a friend has a pet rat, and you want to be able to visit him without feeling overly anxious. Giving yourself a goal to work towards will give you something clear to accomplish, and can help keep you focused on achieving it. Identifying what kind of interaction you want with rats will help you figure out how comfortable you need to be. For example, if you are just trying to remain confident around your home, you don't need to be comfortable petting or touching rats, just remaining calm if you see one. Fear is a common emotional reaction to a threat, whether it's real or just in your imagination. Fear is something you will likely be able to overcome with some effort, and perhaps help from friends. Phobias, on the other hand, cause uncontrollable panic and dread when you are confronted with the thing you fear. A serious phobia can be much tougher to overcome, and will probably need help from a therapist to get past. A phobia does not need to come from simply tensing up when you see a rat. Consider the symptoms you feel when facing a rat, and how rats (or the possibility of rats) may be impacting your life. Even if you don't see actual rats to cause anxiety, you may find yourself avoiding places or situations where rats could be present. If you are rerouting your life in this way to avoid even the possibility of seeing a rat, that could be a sign of phobia as well.

Summary: Identify what causes your fear. Identify why you want to overcome this fear. Determine if you are suffering from fear or a phobia.

It's easy to feel uncomfortable in the locker room because you're comparing your body to everyone else's. But everyone's body looks different and almost no one can live up to the ideals you see on TV. Your body is your body, and it's fine no matter how it looks! One way to be more confident in the locker room is to improve your body image. Think about the amazing things your body can do maybe you're really strong, or maybe you can run fast. Also keep in mind that some things about your body you just can't change. If there are things you can change, set yourself some goals for improving them. For example, you can't change how your knees look, or how wide your hips are. You can change how muscular your legs are or how flat your stomach is. Make goals for yourself related to the things you can change. It's okay if you don't feel comfortable in the locker room right away. But try to slow down your changing pace each week. As you feel more comfortable, say hi to people as you change. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it eventually. If you do slow down, make sure you're still keeping track of the time you have to change.

Summary: Remind yourself that everyone's bodies look different. Improve your body image. Push yourself to feel more comfortable by slowing down your pace.

You can shrink any of your existing drives to convert the free space on them into a new partition. This can be useful if you have a lot of free space on a drive and want to create a dedicated drive for specific files, such as media. Press Win+R and type diskmgmt.msc to quickly launch the Disk Management utility. You can also right-click the Start button in Windows 8 and 10 to select Disk Management from the menu. You can shrink any partition that has some free space. You'll likely want to choose one that you can at least get several GB out of to make your new partition useful. Make sure to leave enough space for the existing partition, especially if it is your boot partition. Windows performs best when it has at least 20% of the partition free. This will open a new window after Disk Management determines how much space is available to create a new partition out of. The window will display how much space is available to shrink the existing drive in megabytes (MB). 1024MB is equal to a single gigabyte (GB). You'll need to enter in the size you want to shrink the drive by (creating a new partition that size). Click "Shrink" to carve out the space that you specified in the existing drive. It will appear in Disk Management as Unallocated space on the same drive as the old partition. Right-click on the unallocated space and select "New simple volume". This will start the Simple Volume Wizard. You'll be able to select how much of the Unallocated space you want to use for the new partition. You'll also be assigning a drive letter. During the wizard, you'll be prompted to format the partition. You can format it with a file system now, or do it later by performing the steps in the previous method.
Summary: Open the Disk Management utility. Select the partition that you want to shrink. Right-click the partition and select "Shrink volume". Enter in the size of your new partition. Start the shrinking process. Create a partition. Follow the prompts to create the partition. Format the new partition.
