Last week I happened to have a discussion and read a blog post about the same subject: fear and anxiety and how to handle it. The blog post was written by a life coach, who got the question when she had last time experienced fear. Although she teaches people how to handle it, she couldn't say when she experienced it herself.
I have the same feeling. As a skiing instructor I help people overcome themselves and their fears. Through small steps they soon notice to have skied down a huge mountain, without dying. The expression on their face is the biggest thanks I can get for my job, and the reason to that I love it so much.
At the same time I can't be faced with fear myself and divide it up into small pieces. This has been, and is, the biggest problem with my thesis, I've realized. I can't stop staring at it like it's a huge mountain, instead of focusing on one step at a time.
But overcoming fear and doing something you didn't think you where capable off is the best feeling!
I think that's one of the reasons to why I love traveling so much. When traveling, you are put into situations that you just have to handle all the time, even though you sometimes doubt yourself. And you do get through, over and over again. Oh the excitement and thrill of it!
So why can't I apply this to my everyday life? Next time when I notice myself giving up because of fear and anxiety, I will remind myself to just breath through it. Like when I learned snowboarding - one breath and turn at a time.
