We can all find it hard to do those things we want to but finding the fear and challenging it could be the first step.

I choose not to do certain things because I am scared of either failing or beating my fear.

Panic attacks are a big thing for me and I know I have power over them to an extent however if I put myself in to a situation where I feel less then comfortable, then I am quite aware I may trigger the over whelming panic.

Fear is what drives me a lot of the time and I can’t help but feel like I’m trapped by it.

When I feel at my worse but I know I am going to push myself I take myself to somewhere I feel safe in my mind and I project all the negative thoughts into pictures.

Once enabling myself to do this I then picture them in frames and focus on them in black and white.

You can then reduce the size of the image in your mind and remove it slowly out of focus and eventually out of sight.

This is a very good way of minimising your stress levels and removing the thought from your mind.

I practise this on a daily basis to get the best results and within time you will feel the difference it makes too.
