5 Ways To Manage Fear -- Way Number 3

By
Mortgage and Lending with Liberty Home Mortgage Corporation Originator NMLS ID 120117

I am a self-proclaimed music junkie.

 

I used to sing and play my guitar at Willie’s Saloon in Stillwater, Oklahoma where this guy named Garth Brooks got his start (I don’t know whatever happened to him btw).

 

Speaking of music, the greatest concert I was ever at was John Denver and the craziest was Ozzy Osbourne (August, 1994) – we almost got crushed to death.

 

Anyways, I shall take way number 3 of managing fear from a song – Lean on me.

 

Another way I have dealt with fear over the years was to lean on my closest friends and speak endlessly for hours upon hours to them.

 

Talk through it. Analyze, analyze and re-analyze.

 

Venting, complaining and going through it out loud verbally and emotionally gets all of the negative energy out.

 

I seriously think that over the years, my closest friends have been my therapists (only I have not been given a bill – thank goodness).

 

Open up, let it out. Post it on social media.

 

It is pretty liberating to put stuff out there about yourself. You come to find out that there are others who share your fears and become your biggest supporters.

 

Way number 3 of dealing with fear is to lean on your friends and talk through everything.

 

Catch me tomorrow for step 4 and as always, THANK YOU for following!! Time to get after it!!

Morning Khash.

There is an agent in our office I lean on a lot. We talk about things I would like to say, compared to what I will say.  It works for me

#khashtag 💖Garth Brooks is still touring. He retired in the early 2000s but came back.
Check my work, but I believe he has more Diamond albums than any other artist in history including The Beatles. 🎶🎤🎸
And I am grateful for my tribe of supportive friends. We keep each other from doing dumb stuff! Sometimes we do dumb stuff together. LOL

Hi Khash

Great advice in your post! I think it' important to have others we can lean on, but to also be available for others to lean on us.

Khash Saghafi as the saying goes, "If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it" Good thing we have our friends and family as our support system.

Hi Khash Saghafi 

Another good post on overcoming fear. We don't go through life alone and we do need some people we trust enough to be able to vent
