SummaryIn

this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the

transformative journey of navigating fear and anxiety. My focus today is

on how to take tiny, manageable steps through our fears, allowing us to

turn anxiety into confidence. Recognizing how anxiety can often

introduce new fears in our lives, I discuss the common triggers that

many of us experience, whether it's the anxiety of flying, public

speaking, or even simply being in crowded spaces. These moments can

provoke an immediate physical response, leaving us feeling vulnerable

and uncomfortable.
However, I propose a powerful reframe: these

fears, rather than being obstacles, can serve as gateways to deeper

confidence and inner peace. By gently facing and befriending our

triggers, we begin to cultivate a strength that can ultimately help us

tackle more profound anxieties, such as feelings of inadequacy or fear

of rejection. The essence of this process lies in taking those initial

small steps—steps that foster self-kindness and acknowledge the

importance of gentleness in our healing journey.
I outline three

foundational steps to approach our fears, starting with creating

proximity without pressure. Using the example of a fear of flying, I

encourage listeners to take small, non-threatening actions, like just

driving to the airport or sitting in the parking lot observing planes.

This method emphasizes building a safe relationship with our fears,

recognizing them without judgment, and allowing ourselves the freedom to

retreat if needed. The next step involves gradually increasing our

exposure by taking more active roles in confronting our fears, ensuring

we're in a space where we can feel comfortable and safe while doing so.
