Today I will write about some common ways to overcome your fears.
Accept you have a fear.
It is important that first you accept the fact that you fear a particular thing and have avoided confronting it for so long. This acceptance will open up the way to take steps to remove the fear. Then make a mental point that you want to overcome that fear. This will give you the necessary push to confront it rather than escaping from it. There are many people who have overcome their fear by taking the first step in that direction.
Find the cause of your fear.
The fear may have a root in your past experience. It can be an abusive past relationship which makes you avoid a new one and you believe all men are like this. It can be something that is rooted in your childhood. Parents may be the cause of some fear that lingers on till grown up age. If you were beaten up regularly or kept locked up in room then you will certainly develop fear of these things. So try to find the cause of the fear. It may not always come from your experience but you may just develop it by seeing others fears also.

But to tackle it you have to revisit those fears again with awareness that you fear them and now you are in the process of overcoming them.
