Learn to Rewrite Your Thoughts to Cure Fear
Do irrational fears prevent you from achieving what you want in your life? Did you know that there are many effective tools and techniques available for overcoming fear and living life free from fear? One powerful approach is called Rewriting the Fear. Let me tell you a bit about how to Rewrite the Fears to free yourself from them.
The key to Rewriting the Fear is understanding that your body reacts to what you believe, not to some absolute outside reality. Convince yourself something is harmful or dangerous and you’ll feel fear. But if you can instead choose to believe something more positive about the situation, your body will have no reason to generate a fear response. It all depends on what you believe about the situation.
But how can you do this? You don’t want to lie to yourself, and you don’t have to. We interpret everything that we experience. And there’s almost always more than one way to interpret an experience. So the most basic approach to Rewriting the Fear asks you to change your interpretation. Don’t simply assume that the negative first impression you came up with is the absolute truth about the situation. Instead, come up with other plausible interpretations that fit the facts, but don’t have such negative repercussions for you. A simple example will help.
Your best friend snarls at you and walks away when you ask how their day has been. You can interpret this in the worst possible light and become afraid that your friend doesn’t like you anymore. But their behavior doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with you, and you can choose to interpret it differently. Maybe they had a fight with their significant other. Maybe their car broke down. Maybe they’re sick. Their behavior doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with you or your friendship.
If you choose to learn more about Rewriting the Fear, you’ll find that there are even ways to take this further and turn a negative-seeming situation into a positive one. When you explore alternate interpretations of the situation (by rewriting your fear) you will find that your fear lessens as you see all the other, less negative possibilities.
And don’t forget that Rewriting the Fear is only one of the techniques you can use to cure fear and end phobias. There are many more you can try.
