Deal with Fear

Fear, a small four letter word that can destroy your whole life.  Single moms have a lot of fears – money, kids, the future and more.  They even fear that they will not measure up; that they will not be good parents.

Fear will damage your mind and body.  Fear will disturb your thoughts.  Soon you will notice physical problems like racing heartbeat, high blood pressure, ulcers, insomnia, etc. Fear can also lead to stress.

 Therefore we need keep fear out and let peace in.  We need to eliminate fear so that we will have peace of mind, body and soul; and live a more meaningful life.

Here are some ways to deal with fear and release peace.

1. Acknowledge and admit that you are fearful of something, someone or some situation.  Your admission will open your eyes to solutions to your fear. 

2. Get out of your comfort zone. You cannot forever avoid places, things or people that cause your fear.  You need to slowly get out of your comfort zone.  To deal with your fear you need to face your fear.  If it is fear of going to places that you and your ex used to frequent before you started having problems, you need to visit these places.  You need to experiment and test if you can now handle the situation, if you are already over the past.

3. Learn how others successfully deal with fear. We can use the methods other people used, because their solution just might work with us. 

We need one another. You can probably solve your fears alone, but it would be a lot easier and faster to deal with our fears with the help of other people. Our fears could dissipate just by talking about it with our friends and family.    

 

4. Grow in knowledge of yourself and your fears.  Knowledge is king.  Learn about your fears and problems; learn about yourself more.  What do you fear? Why? Dig deeply. Answering these questions will give you peace.  Understanding more about your fears and about yourself will take your mind off your fear and give you a new and most likely a better perspective.
