tips on fighting fear
Breathing is short circuit for fear: By controlling breathing you control all the other anxiety symptoms. Breathe out longer than you breathe in - 7 counts in 11 counts out.
Prepare for peaceful performance: Do not let future upcoming events bring on fear today.
Retain clear thought.
Get control of your imagination: Fear and anxiety thrive when we imagine the worst. Imagine yourself in the situation you are dreading, but see yourself calm, composed, cool and comfortable
Use a different part of your brain: When in fear it is harder to think clear. Force yourself to use parts of 'the thinking brain' as this will dilute emotion and begin to calm you down.
