Will you stay with me?" Use a positive affirmation to empower yourself when fear happens. You might repeat statements like, "You're perfectly safe at home" or "This, too, shall pass" to remind yourself you can get through anything. If you're afraid of something like asking someone out on a date or speaking in front of a crowd, embolden yourself by saying, "Feel the fear and do it anyway." Fear can cloud your perspective and make you feel like there's nothing but negativity in your life. Override that by purposely seeking out the good. When you feel fearful, try to identify whatever's going right. For instance, if you feel afraid of public speaking, you might list "good" things like, "I'm dressed well. I prepared all last night for this. My friends are in the audience, so I can look to them for courage." Go outdoors and get some fresh air to help you calm down when you are afraid. Take your dog for a walk, plan a hike with friends, or take a book to a nearby lake.
