Psychology Hacks

Fear can be difficult, but one can overcome it by being confident in every situation. Here are simple and powerful hacks, from taking small steps to thinking positively. Tap to learn!

Gradual Exposure

You become less sensitive to anxiety as you gradually face your fears. Start by talking to a small group, then gradually increase the audience size.

Positive Self-talk

Think good thoughts instead of negative ones. Tell yourself, ‘I can handle this, one step at a time,’ rather than, ‘I can not do this.’

Deep Breathing

Breathing deeply tells your body to unwind. With a slow inhale through your nose and a brief hold, release the air through your mouth. Repeat.

Visualisation

Imagine that you have conquered the fear. By doing this, you design a successful mental map that will lessen your anxiety in the real world.

Mindfulness

Try not to let your future worries consume you by staying focused on the here and now. Focus on the things that you can currently control.

Set Realistic Goals

Break down big challenges into smaller, more achievable goals. Celebrate each step forward, building confidence along the way.

Social Support

Tell someone you trust about your fears. Speaking about it can offer comfort on an emotional level as well as alternative approaches to overcoming the fear.

Celebrate Progress

Recognise your accomplishments, no matter how minor. Maintain your good behaviour and inspire others to keep trying to conquer their fear.
