Overcoming Fear Part 4

How you act and behave will impact on your fears.  Avoiding the things you don't like may make you forget about them, but what do you do when you are unavoidably confronted by the very things you try to avoid?  How do you deal with that situation?  Do you find it is worse?  Over dwelling on something can make you fear it more, so dealing with your fears in a healthy and positive way is important.
Watch
Watching a movie or a documentary can be as enlightening as reading a book. Sometimes it’s nice to distract yourself from your fear, but if you really want to, you can find dozens of movies on the fear you’re dealing with.
Diet
Did you know that the food you eat can have a dramatic impact on how you feel? All the sugars, additives, sweeteners, and other chemicals in our foods have a surprisingly powerful effect in getting our body out of balance. Stick to a clean diet that suits you. Meaning, more fruits and vegetables. Just eat a bit more each day. See what happens.
Positivity
Whenever fear strikes, flip it over. Instead of thinking of something bad that can happen, think of something positive. What’s a positive outcome to your fear? If you’re thinking about public speaking, imagine yourself being wildly successful instead of failing horribly. 
Perspective
Learning to deal with fear is all about putting your negative thoughts in perspective. We tend to focus too much on the negative, so by looking at all the options, you often realize that you’re making a big deal of nothing. There are so many things that can happen that it’s impossible for you to predict. We aren’t psychics.
Surrender
Surrendering to what is is powerful, because as long as we try to change what is, we are in war with reality. To learn more about how to surrender to what is, try to read Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life. It’s the book on The Work mentioned earlier.
