Instruction manual

Analyze what exactly are you afraid of? Why do you consider yourself not a brave enough person? For example, you are afraid to tell someone the truth in person, say flattering compliments, and whisper behind him how bad he is. This is cowardice, fear. Or you quickly, in a roundabout way, pass by a group of bandits who beat and robbed their victim without doing anything. This situation also characterizes you as a cowardly or cruel person. But it’s a completely different matter if you are afraid to jump from a great height or through a fire, walk alone on dark streets or reach out to a predator in a cage - this is how the self-preservation instinct manifests itself, which often saves life.

Keep in mind that the desire to become completely fearless is wrong. This is well known to people who have to risk their lives by profession - for example, the military or lifeguards. A courageous person is not one who is not afraid, but who makes the right decision despite a sense of fear. Who overcomes fear and does what must be done.

Avoid stupid, unreasonable risk. There are situations where you need to exercise caution, think carefully before taking any decisive step. Fight specific types of fears that prevent you from living.

So you will become more confident in yourself, temper not only the body, but also the spirit. You can start training in the gym, under the guidance of an experienced trainer. Choose the martial art that best suits you by type of temperament, physique. Sambo, boxing, karate are suitable for people with developed muscle mass, the power of impact is put at the forefront here. Wushu, aikido, jujitsu, etc. focus primarily on speed, agility, and therefore suitable for those who are not very developed muscles.

To get rid of cowardice, fear of telling the truth to a person’s eyes, just do it once. So you will increase self-esteem, your reputation will also increase in the eyes of other people. Next time, most likely, you will not be able to do otherwise. But, becoming a fighter for the truth, be prepared for the flip side of the situation - you will have enemies in the person of the people you have convicted with all the ensuing consequences. Is courage in this matter important to you? Perhaps it would be more correct to simply ignore the person you are unpleasant without entering into an open confrontation with him? You decide.

Be sure to deal with far-fetched fears, phobias, etc. It is very important to understand the unreality of these fears, their exaggeration.
