Jumping fear after the fences were lowered
There are many reasons why we become frightened. Fear is completely natural, and we sometimes feel stressed when it turns up and decide we have to be rid of it. That often makes us try to push it away, and then there is a risk it grows bigger and we become afraid of the fear itself. Fear eases when we take care of it and let it be there. It lessens as we gradually show it that it is safe to do the thing that frightens us. It usually helps to take it step by step and to try to accept the fear. You can do what you want to do alongside it. If you do this and gradually take on more of what scares you, your confidence will grow and become greater than the fear. We just need to be patient, give it time, and be kind to ourselves 💫
