9.Courage is the ability to control fear when facing danger,difficulty or pain in various situations in our life.In fact everyone needs courage to do something well.Courage may make you confident of your success so it is considered by many to be one of the most important human virtues.Learning how to gain courage doesn't mean not being afraid.It means learning to do things despite your fear.Fear comes from the body's natural response to the brain's fight or flight response.Fearfulness is a learned behavior,based in our brain chemistry,but strengthened by the world around us that has trained us to be fearful.Learning to work through fear and step beyond it is about retraining your mind.
Avoiding fears actually makes you feel more fearful.Theirs is a certain mindset in Western culture that views emotions as weakness and seeks to suppress them.But suppressing negative emotions only heightens the fear of the negative emotions itself,strengthening them the more they are avoided.
Exposing yourself to things that you fear (while being sure to be smart about it) can help the brain become less sensitive to the fear and make it easier for you to face.
The longer your brain has to come up with excuses for not having courage,the more time you will have to panic about assumed negative outcomes.If you are in a situation where you have to pick up a spider or jump out of an airplane,do it immediately if you're going to do it at all.
Reinforce your success by giving your self a reward when you do deal with your fear.This could be a physical treat,like a nice bottle of wine,or a mental treat,like taking a break from human interaction.
