FINDING
THE ANSWERS IN MANAGING YOUR FEARS AND ANXIETIES
© Stan
Popovich – All Rights Reserved
Looking for
all of the answers in how to manage your most persistent
fears and anxieties? I deal with fear on a personal
level and I found it difficult to find all of the answers
in managing my anxieties. I read some anxiety books
and talked to various professionals, however I still
had trouble dealing with certain fears and anxieties.
Eventually, I wrote a book that presents all of the
ways to help manage those hard to manage fears and anxieties
and it is located at http://www.trebleheartbooks.com/mvStanPopovich.html
Let
me explain the process of how I found those answers.
I first went
to my local bookstore to find those books that dealt
with fear and anxiety. I looked for those books that
reviewed the techniques in how to manage certain fears
and anxieties. As I read these books, I wrote down some
notes on those techniques that I found most useful in
managing my fears. I noticed that each book said something
different and there wasn’t always a complete review
of all the techniques to manage fear and anxiety. As
a result, I started a notebook and every time I found
a technique that was useful in managing my fears, I
would write it down in my small notebook.
Secondly,
I talked to various professionals in the psychology
and religious fields and they provided me with additional
information. Again, I would write down in my notebook
the information that the professionals gave me that
I felt was most useful in managing my fears. Some of
the techniques that I was told to use was learning how
to use positive self talk, using thought stopping techniques,
and breaking a overwhelming problem into its smallest
parts.
For instance,
I was told that I should visualize a red stop sign in
my mind when I encounter a fear provoking thought. The
stop sign would remind me to stop focusing on that thought
and to think of something else. Another example, is
when I conducted my job search. Instead of looking at
the job search as a whole, I broke down the job search
into many different tasks. I first developed my resume.
When I completed my resume, I began to look for companies
that would hire me and I submitted my resume. After
sending out my resume, I then focused on the job interviewing
process. During my job search, I performed each of these
tasks one at a time which prevented me from getting
overwhelmed.
I made it
a point that every time I would experience a fearful
or anxiety related situation, I would use the information
in my notebook to help me. After the anxiety would go
away I figure out what techniques worked and which ones
didn't work. In every anxiety related situation I experienced,
I began to learn what worked, what didn't work, and
what I needed to improve on in managing my fears and
anxieties
At the same
time, I would continue to talk to various professionals
to learn and to become better at managing the many types
of fears and anxieties. I would review what I have learned
with these professionals and they would provide me with
additional information so that I would be better able
to deal with my fears in the future. I did this research
for around fourteen years and during this time, I gained
a lot of valuable information on how to manage fear
and anxiety.
The main
point of this article is that no matter how difficult
it is to manage your fear and anxieties, the answers
are out there if you look hard enough. It might take
some hard work and persistence, but it is possible to
find those techniques that work for you.
