FACE YOUR FEARS!

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

We all have things that we're afraid of. It be could be anything from a common fear of spiders and creepy crawlies to a phobia or even lack of self confidence but there isn't one human being on the planet that isn't afraid of anything! Some of these fears seemed to be ingrained within us and some may be possible to overcome or lessen.

This summer I am setting you all a challenge! Pick a fear any fear, it doesn't matter how big or small the fear is, but I want you to face it. If you're scared of spiders then don't charge out the room and wait for it to disappear, try putting a glass over it, scooping it up and leaving it outside to run away! You have the whole summer to pick your fear that you want to face and when you do, tweet me (@missgingerg) the fear you're facing with #FACEYOURFEARS so I know who the brave ones are! I'm not expecting you to all overcome these fears, but it's more about having the courage to take a risk and facing what scares you and if you can summon the courage to face a fear, then that's one step closer to maybe one day overcoming it!

So, what's my fear that I'll be facing you may be wondering? Mine is a fear of being judged, which is something that might be more complicated than overcoming a fear of a spider or of heights as everybody is judged by everybody else because we're all guilty of doing it to each other. So as I can't physically stop the possibility of being judged by others, I just have to stop myself from being afraid of it. Therefore, I plan to "face my fear" by doing things like going out without any make up on or without my hair being done and I know that a lot of people that may not seem like a big deal to them and you may be sitting there now thinking "well that's not scary!" but to me a dog isn't scary nor is a spider or a big rollacoaster but I struggle with self confidence and feel that I have to look as "perfect" as I can the whole time, but I wasn't always like that and fears shouldn't control your life which is why it is important to try to face them...just a little bit at a time. We're all different so we all have different fears but it's about having the courage to overcome them whilst understanding and suporting others who find different things scary, which is why I want you guys to share what fear you're facing because then we can try to help each other, so we can all be that one step closer to being more confidant human beings.
