Tips for Children: How to Stop Living in Fear?

Life is full of opportunities. It gives you plenty of opportunities at every step of your life to make your dream come true. All you need is to take advantage of every opportunity. 

But! Some children aren’t able to complete their dreams because of fear. This fear could be because of many reasons. Being continually in a state of fear makes them weak and depressed in some cases. We know that coming out of your fear is as hard as solving maths puzzles. 

Keeping it in mind, I will list some of the tips to help you overcome your fear. Let’s get started- 

DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF YOUR ANXIETY

One of the main reasons behind your fear is your anxiety. Anxiety could be the big reason for fear in children or college-going adults. You can not avoid anxiety because it can cause harm to your health. So! The best way to overcome the fear in you is to know the root cause. It is essential to know what factors are causing fear in you or the main reason you are feeling anxious. 

The best approach is to list down and make a list of fear in you or make a list of thoughts that are having you. Once you finish making a list, look at your list one by one. Mark the major factors among them, and then think of the different ways to overcome your fear. Keep reminding yourself that you can easily overcome these fears. 

RECOGNIZE THAT LIFE HAPPENS FOR YOU

The best way to conquer your fear is by accepting the changes around you. You should not blame God or anyone else for the things happening in your life. The day you stop playing the blame game will be the first step to overcoming your fear. Keep the gear of your life to yourself and run your life accordingly. Knowing the reason behind the anxiety will guide you to overcome the fear over the mentioned factors, thus opening the door to many opportunities. Never let fear control you, rather have control of your life just the way you like.

STOP THE EXCUSES

Children have a habit of making excuses. They make excuses over little things. The main reason why children make excuses is fear. When children fear anything, they make excuses to run away from it. For example, if you fear going to school, you will make plenty of excuses for not going to school in your resume; if you fear doing homework, you will make a lot of excuses. Making excuses is not good as it will take you back to the old days from where you have started your journey. 

So, instead of making excuses, try to overcome your fear and face every situation, even the difficult one.

TURN YOUR “SHOULDS” INTO “MUSTS.”

It’s very simple, if you want to overcome your fear or if you want to be successful, then you must do every possible thing which will lead you towards your success. You should not leave things for tomorrow and try to convert the word “should” into “must.” For example – rather than saying that “I should overcome my fear,” say “I will surely overcome my fear.” Turn your excuses into your strength. Realize what your fear will take from you and the consequences of you being in fear. Once you realize the outcome, you will come to know its drawbacks, and then you will be able to focus more to make your fear your strength.

ADOPT A GROWTH MINDSET

If you want success, you should give up on your fear and develop a positive mindset. Never give up on your dreams for fear. You should try your level best to achieve your success. Some children do not try to achieve their goals because they fear losing them. It would help to overcome your fear and start thinking positively. Learn to accept failure happily and try to learn from your failure. Also, seek for different strategies to make your dream come true.

Final Words

Being in the fear state of mind, you will not be able to live happily and not focus on your goal. These factors will make it easier and simpler for you to overcome your fear, just like studying parallelogram and help you to live a happy life.
