Re: Doing Things That Scare You
Doing things that scare you can sometimes backfire if your anxiety overwhelms you and subsequently the fear becomes reinforced. That's certainly been my experience. However, if you face up to your fears in a controlled manner and keep at it, pushing the boundary out slightly again and again, it's surprising what you can achieve over time. But it does take persistence, which is why I think you need to be highly motivated, perhaps by trying to achieve something that you really desire or believe is worthwhile. You can override your fear with passion.
