I think it's truly hard to stop thinking about our fears. Instead, we should channel those fears into something constructive. For example- if you have the fear of failure, instead of thinking 'why bother, I'm just going to fail anyway?', one should think, 'I'm going to try my hardest because this is the way I won't fail.'

The best way to stop your fears, is to overcome your fears. There really is no better way, I know it's an easy thing to say, as most fears simply seem impossible to ever overcome, but have you ever really tried to overcome them!

Well... there are two options for this one. You can face them (which I highly suggest), or you can distract yourself from them (which I don't suggest). Facing your fears may not be easy, but it's better that way.

The best way that I have found to stop thinking about my fears is to start thinking about something else. I write, so I'll think about a story instead. Or I'll hum a song. Think of it like substituting something you like for something that worries you.

I think about fears that I have conquered and how I can conquer this one. I often ask family and close friends for help along the way

Learn to have something else you focus on instead. Learn to focus on things you love to do or are good at.

Try to distract yourself with other more pleasant things while you slowly start working on winning over your fears.

Face your fears one by one. Put them to paper. Look at them - just ink on a page. Get in touch with me if you need some motivation to overcome your fears. Please consider that fears themselves are not a bad thing: they keep us alive. The problem is when we feel paralyzed because of them. Stay strong, try harder!
