01 – Conquering Fear

Why is facing fear just the opposite of building muscle? Because the more you face your fears, the smaller they get. The more you work on building your muscles, the bigger they get.

Each time you face something that frightens you, it gets easier and easier. Fear will always be with all of us, but it becomes manageable with practice, and it becomes easier to do each time. It’s when we don’t face our fears that they become bigger and bigger until they overwhelm us or even paralyze us.

Think about a time in the past when you were afraid but overcame your fear.

Write about how you got through a scary experience in the past and learned how to conquer the thing you were afraid of.
