being so shy – talking to strangers or new colleagues. I have gained confidence by having an awesome support network

My biggest fear is getting so depressed that I want to end it all. To stop these horrible thoughts I now see a psychologist who is helping me to change my thoughts and I’m glad to say it is working so well that I no longer feel this way. I also make sure I spend time with friends and family.

My biggest fear was losing someone close to me, then my husband died. Overcoming the fear? There is no choice, I get up each day and keep on going. My children need me. So I take a deep breath, remember to appreciate the good, practice gratitude and get on with it.

I quell my fear of shark attacks while open water swimming with logic – I’m far more likely to die in a car crash driving home!

Meeting new people. I used to overcome it with alcohol, but now I’m working hard on my point of view and valuing myself.

I can’t stand eating anything with Coconut flakes or bits in it – it makes me feel awful. I “overcame” it by passing it all onto my hubby to eat!!

Spiders. I tried to overcome my fear, but believe me, it is not easy!

I experienced fear recently when I was diagnosed with liver cancer and after six weeks of tests I am pleased to say I am cancer free The sick feeling I had when told I would not wish upon anyone

I am terrified of huntsman spiders. I overcome it by screaming for someone to come and get the spider out or kill it or show me the pieces so I can stop shaking. Otherwise I almost go into meltdown. I can’t help it.

Fear of raising four children on my own
After my hubby passed away
But we do it, altogether, one day at a time!

Being eaten alive by a crocodile, living in far north Queensland i see more crocs than people. I overcome it by being extremely careful with eyes at the bavk of my head near rivers and sea.

Travelling by plane. I took a small flight, gritted my teeth, sweated a lot, felt ill, but I did it, and I came back. Fear overcome!

Heights. I stay on the ground!

failure- I talk myself into things every day and when I succeed I say to myself “see you can do it!”

Fearlesss…. the name says it all… would love to have..

Snakes, I spend a lot of time out in the Bush so it’s hard to avoid them, I just keep my eyes open and stomp around, hopefully scaring them away.

A U.S. ruled by the corrupt. Thankfully, I spend my time on the toilet so I am used to the crap.

My biggest fear is for my grand children, I worry about what will happen to them much more than I ever did for my own 4 children. Perhaps that’s because I’m older and am more aware of the perils of life. I try to reassure myself that they know they are loved and we are always ready to listen!

I fear never getting the opportunity to read “Fearless”. How have I overcome it? – I’ll keep you posted.

Public speaking is my fear. So I do it. First time was terrifying, 2nd time not as much and now, my legs shake and my tummy turns, but I can speak without feeling like my life is going to end.
