I love this idea @Lost_Space_Explorer5 ! Facing my fears is something I want to get better at, but it's hard with anxiety 😊 I love normalising that it's ok to be afraid, and just because we're scared of something doesn't mean it's impossible!
1. Pick a task or situation or worry you've been avoiding because of fear
- My assignment for uni
2. Write down your predictions for what will happen if you face the situation/task/worry
- It might be very difficult
- I might not get a good mark
- It could be really overwhelming
- I might not know how to do it
- It could be super stressful!
3. Decide to face your fear or take small steps towards facing your fear
- I've got this!
- I've listed my plan below
4. Face your fear- expose yourself to the task/situation/worry you've been avoiding
- I'm going to do little bits at a time
- I started with reading the requirements
- I've been chipping away at it a little each day
- I'll continue to do bits over the next week
- I'll continue to check in with how I'm feeling
- I'll ask for help if I need it
5. Note your observations
- It wasn't as scary as I thought!
- Some of my fears were rational, some weren't
- It helped to ask someone to support me
I'll see how I go over the next week as I finish it 😄
