Self Improvement - Knowing Your Fears

By Leon Winter

Fears can squash chances for any development and success. Fear by itself can be a hindrance and can hurt a person's ability to make it through life so at times when an individual's fear can rule their life, and lack any kind of reason. A person who allows it to rule their life can easily be stopped from leading a normal life. That bad part is that the person who has the fear is not the only one affected, but other,s including family, friends, and the people around him.

Fear is healthy because it makes a person to be on their toes and to be watchful is occurring around them. A person can actually compel their fear to work for them instead of against them but then again, this takes much self control as well as positive thinking. Fear can be caused by something that happened in the past, or maybe by some belief that they are not capable of dealing with something or someone. Some fears that have a real basis, but most are just the product of a wild imagination.

Phobia is the phrase that is used for a fear of a particular thing but a few like this can be irrational so these phobias can be just plain ridiculous like a fear of cats, or even water. Some with these phobias are quite conscious of the fact that it isn't based with rational thinking however, they are not able to get hold of their emotions and rising above it.

Some people are quick to equate phobia with insanity but it's not at all fair to conclude that just because a person has a phobia, it means there is something wrong with their sanity. Phobias can be very embarrassing most definitely when it's uncontrollable and there are people who will not be able to control themselves when they come face to face with them.

Phobias can be very elementary like the fear of being in a tight space or they can be complex, like riding in an airplane however a social phobia can take the form in the fear of public speaking or the presence of a crowd. Many of these phobias ace accompanied by the presence of panic attacks such as when a person is faced with their phobia and when they are made to come face-to-face with it. It's okay to be afraid because it is rational to have fears however, a fear that becomes irrational and has no basis is a phobia. It's no longer a normal fear and can have a negative impact on a lifestyle.

A person who wants to get rid of their phobia should not see doctors who will go deeper just to discover the root cause and this can be a waste of time since finding the root of the phobia will not destroy it. The more important thing is to posses a strong will so fear will no longer rule their emotions. If one can understand how to handle their emotions, then they can be rid of their phobia.
