How do u stop being afraid?
first-
U admit 2 yourself-
U say: I m a f r a i d.
this can come also in forms of crying it, screaming it, etc.
then-
U forgive yourself 4 it. you're just human. even if u forget it.
You breath.
even if the air doesn't want 2 come in. eventually it does. it has 2.
U smile.
U dont have 2 feel the smile from inside. u fake it. fake it until your mind falls 4 it. "hey", it tells itself." if she's smiling she must b happy and relaxed and carefreeeee." the smatrest mind is kinda stupid like that.
U remind yourself of all the times u failed or succeeded that had nothing 2 do with how much u were afraid b4.
U say 2 yourself again and again- what's the worst thing that can happen?
U go 2 the guitar. u play. u sing. u might even write a new song. the music relaxes u. reminds u that u r blessed.
U realize that being afraid has been your basic instinct since u were a child. but this instinct doesn't have 2 b u.
If u remind yourself again and again 2 feel the opposite of fear -one day u will b
FREE.
