How to conquer any fear: Scare yourself with the worst case scenario.

When we’re scared of something, anything, really, we tend to try and minimize the fear and the threats, we try to tell ourselves it’s going to be OK, there’s nothing to fear, it’s not worth getting worked up about… And while that’s probably true, it’s difficult for the mind to actually accept it because it feels like you’re lying to yourself. Therefore, turn it around and try to scare the living daylights out of yourself with the worst-case scenario. Imagine all the possible horrible things that could happen to you, and allow your rational mind to process the probabilities of these events happening. You’ll also notice saying: “Well, that won’t happen because I would never risk it, I’d never let it get that far, I’m always vigilant about…”

So, when you go through the worst things you can imagine, you’ll also start putting in place precautions against such events. You’ll plan, rationally, how you stop all the PLAUSIBLE threats from occurring – because if the threat is real, there’s probably a way to safeguard yourself from it, as others have done that, too.

Also, apply to your fear of embarrassment.
