What is your biggest fear? Write it down and write down why you think you’re afraid of it. Take time to think about this. Writing down your fears is a great way to overcome them by understanding what it is you're really afraid of and why.
There are two things I am truly fearful of. The first is snakes. I have no idea why I am afraid of them, but I have been as long as I can remember. I even feel uncomfortable if I am in a reptile isle at the pet store of the reptile house at the zoo. Maybe it is because they are so slimy, slithery, and sneaky. It could also be it is so hard to know which ones are dangerous or not. I also have a good amount of dreams of snakes, and they always seem to be bad ones. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't think my fear of snakes will ever go away.
The second thing I am fearful of is not being in control. It took me awhile to realize that my fear of getting unfixable sick, death, and losing loved ones was not those fears specifically, but the fact that I can't control them. We never know when they will happen, and we never know what happens after they occur. This is a problem for me because I like being in control. I feel safe when I feel like I am in some sort of control of the outcome. I have become much better with this over the last year or so, but I could always get better.
