Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway: Brighten your spirit
Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway is a self-help book by Susan Jeffers, first published in 1987.
The book is a guide to overcoming fear and living a more fulfilling life.
Jeffers argues that fear is a normal human emotion, but it should not control our lives. She offers a four-step process for dealing with fear:
- Identify your fear. What are you afraid of? Once you know what you’re afraid of, you can start to address it.
- Feel the fear. Don’t try to suppress your fear. Allow yourself to feel it, but don’t let it control you.
- Take action anyway. Even though you’re afraid, take the steps you need to take. The more you do this, the easier it will become.
- Reward yourself. When you face your fear and take action, reward yourself. This will help you to build confidence and make it more likely that you’ll face your fears in the future.
Susan Jeffers also offers a number of other tips for overcoming fear, such as:
- Change your self-talk. The way you talk to yourself about your fear can either make it worse or help you to overcome it.
- Visualize yourself succeeding. Picture yourself facing your fear and succeeding. This can help to boost your confidence and make it more likely that you’ll actually do it.
- Seek support from others. Talk to friends, family, or a therapist about your fear. They can offer support and encouragement.
