Fear of the future: how can we fight it?

Fear of the future begins with our thoughts; it feeds on a wrong decision, a change that we live hard, a negative response that we did not expect, a promotion that we see fading and this is where our imagination kicks into gear and presents us with the worst case scenarios. In psychology, the fear of the future is included in irrational fears and classified into forms of anxiety. Although often shared on a daily basis, anxiety and fear are different; anxiety is part of indefinite sensations, a fear or a worry for example, while fear is something we can perfectly describe because we feel it physically. So how can we recognize the fear of the future?

3 practical tips to overcome fear of the future:

Now we will reveal 3 practical tips to face the fear of the future and overcome it, but always keeping in mind that the help and support of a psychotherapist is always the winning way to overcome this anxiety.

Know yourself:

With this maxim, Socrates defined man's knowledge and help to himself. Getting to know each other is the first step in facing one's fears, but also in discovering the personal qualities, flaws and limitations that are unique and different to each of us. Knowing each other is essential to understanding which is the right way to go, just as knowing your fears provides a powerful weapon to face and overcome them.

Change your routine:

Having your own habits makes you feel safe, safe from the unknown, but it also leads to the same thoughts, and among them the fear of the future has an easy game. Changing your daily routine may seem difficult, but taking small steps can bring big surprises, for example by planning your usual day excluding the same journey to work, or leaving 15 minutes more time for sports.

Practice the ancient art of patience:

Take your time, enjoy the experience as you live it without thinking about tomorrow. Strengthen your self-esteem by remembering your strengths, your goals and the successes achieved; focus on positive thoughts, the fear of the future will become smaller and smaller.
