Record it and stop it
Proving one more reason to use journaling as a tool in therapy, Matthews talks about recording fears. “Keep a journal to track when your fears show up. This will help you identify mood shifts, behavior changes, or life circumstances that fear is designed to protect.” As for putting a stop to it, she says “Confront and reassign your fears. Fear is your friend, it is designed to protect you; therefore, you have control over how it shows up in your life. Notice it, acknowledge it, evaluate it, and honor that you can still succeed with it.”
