6 STEPS TO CONQUERING YOUR FEARS FOREVER!

Body-mind analyst SUZANNE MASEFIELD eveals the secret to overcoming life’s challenges

We all deal with fears, stress and anxiety at times of change, and that’s especially true as we deal with a global crisis and step out into a new normal that’s evolving every single day.

Managing worry or panic is a natural part of life and brings our attention to the fact that, in this particular moment, something is missing for us – usually a feeling of safety and certainty.

Here are some simple techniques to help stabilise and centre yourself whenever you feel fear creeping in...

1 BREAK IT DOWN

When you’re facing a new challenge, one that elicits fear, overwhelm or stress, the first thing to do is to break it down into a series of small steps.

Complete each small step one at a time to make the challenge manageable and increase your chances of success.

2 TAKE A BREATH

Sometimes we get stressed when everything seems to happen all at once. When this occurs, take a deep breath and focus your mind away from the challenge for a few minutes. Get some fresh air, listen to music or do an activity that will give you a fresh perspective on the situation.
