Fear & Anxiety

Fear is a terrible thing and can really cripple what you want to do in life... it can put a halt to you're hopes and dreams and stop you from living the life that you want to lead... Fear causes an ever perpetuating cycle of anxiety which isolates individuals and disables people from reaching their full potential.

As youngsters, it seems as if the world is our oyster  and usually, fear is minimal.... Our aspirations for the future are great and varied and it seems as if there is very little reason why our hopes and dreams cannot become a reality.

So what is it then that changes? Do we become overly cautious as we age? is it due to mental ill health or life experience?, or is it all of the above and more? One thing is for sure, the only way to get out of this ever perpetuating cycle of gloom is to acknowledge that the fear exists, to confront it and take ownership of it.

No one can do it for you, regardless of qualifications, differing theoretical techniques or experience... Its all about taking small steps to dispel the inner demons... it's about trust and faith and a little helping hand from those who are close to you...  it's all about challenging you're negative ways of thinking and taking a more positive outlook on life. It's certainly not an easy path to follow, but the longer these fears are left to breed and multiply in our minds, the worse the situation becomes and the ever perpetuating cycle of fear is re enforced...

Sometimes, all that is needed is a friend... someone to be there, to listen, to support and to encourage... Someone to share you're life's journey, to take you by the hand and accompany you through the labyrinth of life, dispelling the isolation and challenging the fear inside. Such support and encouragement is a major step forward on the path to a world which will enable you're future aspirations to become a reality and a life that is no longer crippled by fear...
