Last week I faced my fear. The fear I knew about. With which she was ready to "face". I watched him block my actions and prevent me from moving forward. He took up over me, and I stopped. I was falling.
Skiing week in the mountains. I haven't skated for 10 years. Fell down. Rather, it was knocked out by a snowboarder. After that, I could not overcome my fear. However, I believed that someday I could.
The first thing I learned to do in skiing was to fall. I was not afraid to fall. Therefore, I was not scared when I lost my skis, going downhill on the descent, drove into the trees, was covered in snow. All this depended on me and was controlled by me in one way or another. At the same time, I could not follow the actions of other people, especially if they flew at me from behind without giving any signals. This was my only fear, and it happened to me.
A week ago I was back in the mountains and wanted to enjoy skiing again. It was very scary. And it helped that there were those who believed in me and helped to overcome my fear. I was very surprised how the body immediately remembered everything and began to move by itself. I had the technique of skating, but fear also rode with me. The first days I fell because I was scared of something. And I very clearly felt how fear was blocking me. And then I acquired more and more techniques and became more confident. I understood that I could. Yes, there is something that is beyond my control, these are the actions of others, but there are also precautions and I can protect myself as much as possible from others.
Fear came back all 6 days of skiing. At the beginning of the descent. At the same time, at the end of the vacation, it became smaller, because I became more confident. Every time I felt it, I used all my skating skills and moved forward. I started driving much faster and on more difficult tracks. I stopped falling just because I felt fear.
It is very important to move forward in fear. Alpine skiing is one of the most traumatic. The fear that arises in the mountains is rational. He can really signal danger and threat to life. However, my fear was not about that. I knew that I could. I was afraid of other people, only because of the erroneous actions of one person. This fear is irrational and must be overcome.
What helped me the most? Faith and support of a person dear to me. And also his constant presence nearby. This strengthened my belief in my own “can”, “I want”, “I will overcome”.
This is a clear example of how we stand still and do not dare to change something in our life. We are scared to quit our unloved work, to stop communicating with unpleasant people, to say “yes” to something and “no” to something. We are scared to show that something is unpleasant to us or we do not want something. We cannot even stop tactless questions or instructions about what we (according to the subjective view of the interlocutor) should do in a given situation. We are scared to do this because we are afraid to fail, to make mistakes, to offend another. At the same time, we do not understand that we offend ourselves, stumbling in one place, and knowing that we can take a step towards changes. We are able to walk through fear.
If the situation does not threaten your physical life, go ahead. Yes, the psycho-emotional state can be in a state of struggle, and your step is contrary to some of your inner parts. However, if you know even 1% that you can, overcome your own fear. Find those who will believe in you and help you.
Good luck and don't be afraid.
