Taming your Fear

1. Recognize and admit your fear. You can't deal with the problem if you don't think you have one!
2. Be willing to try to overcome it.
3. Be open and ready to work with others who can help you.
4. Practice facing the situation that causes your fear.
5. Prepare for the panic that accompanies fear, and learn to tolerate the distress until it subsides.
6. If you reach a point where you feel no progress is being made, don't give up. Hang in there and wait for the breakthrough.
7. Reinforce your achievements by repetition, and remind yourself of your progress.
