How do you overcome fear?



I did it! How? by facing it๐Ÿ˜

I tried something new that I have never done before, ice skating and I have enjoyed it so much!๐Ÿ˜ƒ

My friend  was about to come to my house to visit me. She told me to look for an ice skating place in my area which, I did and sent her the details. She then booked and paid for the tickets for 4 of us. 

I kept on telling my friend that I've never been ice skating and I wasn't sure weather I wanted to do it or not. she said "that's good, you can do it now!" I was laughing nervously and said that I couldn't do it. However, I had the courage and decided to go ice skating even though I was so scared.๐Ÿ˜ฑ

When we got there my friend hired a penguin and a dolphin to support us. when they gave me the ice skating shoes I was fine walking with them around the changing area but when I got on to the ice, oh my gosh! I couldn't stand I was just laughing so much. the ice was so slippery. I saw younger kids doing so well; my son, my friend and her son. I just stood there watching them and holding onto the bar. 

After a while my kind friend then asked a staff member to give me and my son instructions on how to ice skate and he did. Now I was able to stand and walk around by holding the bar. My friend then asked me if I would like to take the penguin or a dolphin to support me. I felt like that was not the right thing to do for me at that moment. So I said no. 

She then suggested to take me on a ride where I would sit on the dolphin and she would push me. I said yes because that felt ok with me. I had so much fun, I laughed, I enjoyed it and I was so glad that I tried this new experience. Now I know what it feels like to ice skate and now I can develop this skill further by practicing with others support to enjoy the adventure more and the unique experience I had๐Ÿ’–.

I believe that to overcome your fears you need to take the opportunity when it comes. Do what you fear with others support. eventually through practice you will overcome your fear and develop skills needed to do what you  might like. Also, if you don't like it then you will find out that you tried it but you didn't like it and that's fine. Now watch me and laugh๐Ÿ˜‰.
