heights, the fear of snakes or spiders, the fear of flying, etc. Some suggestions on how to overcome fears are listed below for reference. First, you analyzed your fear and had a clear picture of what your fear was. Then you took control of your fear.

1 Because when he once hopped from the highest diving board at the pool, he hit the water with an incredible impact and blacked out. 2 No, they couldn't. Because with the water's tow, they'd never get to the drowning boy. 3 Because nobody except Jason saw that going out onto the jetty, which was close to the boy, was the fastest way to reach the drowning boy. 4 Because his fear of water suddenly struck him.
5 He felt like he was back in that pool, breathless, struggling, terrified.

6 The boy popped back up, eyes wide with terror, pawing and twisting against Jason. 7 No, it wasn't. At first when Jason swam against the rip current, it was forcibly dragging them out to the sea. Then he decided to swim sideways to the pull of the current and slowly made their way back to shore. Finally he made his way back to safety.
8 Because Jason had already conquered his inner fear of water and he also felt relieved and delighted when he saw the boy was hugged tightly by his mother. Critical thinking 2
1 To overcome the inner fear of water, we need to: ? conquer ourselves with courage by helping others, step up and face our fear; ? practice controlled breathing and alternately tense and relax muscle groups to bring into physical awareness the differences between being tense and being relaxed; ? make the victim stop struggling. In this way he / she can be pulled to safety. 2 The fears may come from: ? our own past experience; ? other people's fears we witness; ? someone's description about their fears; ? influence of specific cultural and historical context. 3 To get a guy to ask a girl out, try giving him some pointers and ideas on how to approach the situation with confidence: ? Tell the guy to ask a girl on a casual date and see where it goes from there. Explain to him that asking a girl out face-to-face can be most appropriate, as it will show her how serious be is. However, if he thinks that is too daring, then suggest sending her a text message or calling her on the phone. ? Encourage the guy to be assertive and not beat around the bush. Confidence is
admirable, and a girl is more likely to be attracted to a man with confidence. If he is asking the girl in person, he should speak as though he knew she would say yes. Tell him not to hesitate and to get straight to the point.
? Suggest that the guy give the girl some choices as to where to go on a date. If he is
unsure of what activities or restaurants she enjoys most, this is a great opportunity

4 Obsessive fear leads to anxiety, panic attacks and a variety of psychological problems. We all know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by fear, but fear, as it turns out, is a fundamental part of our lives, and has some positive effects on our lives:
?
Fear increases and enhances our sensory awareness of the environment, so that we can be prepared to protect ourselves from anything potentially threatening or harmful. ?
Fear is an invitation to act. Fear is there to warn us that we need to get ready for the future. It isn't there to stop us; it's there to tell us that we are about to grow. ?
Fear pushes us beyond our limits. Fear motivates us. It drives us to find new resources and options within ourselves. Fear compels us to make extra efforts to succeed and achieve what we desire. ?
Fear is necessary in developing our courage. We can't experience courage without the presence of fear. They go hand in hand. They need one another in order to exist---like darkness and light, or black and white. Language focus Words in use 3
