Overcoming fear of English language

Until I complete my graduation, I have studied in my regional language i.e. my mother tongue. As I was a product of Rural India the subject of English appeared Greek and Latin. After education, I was forced to appear for competitive examinations to get my employment. Getting the job is a compulsion for me to look after my dependents. Thus I have no choice but to face the battle with English medium. I was mentally prepared and determined to appear for the examinations. I read English news papers, watched the English news in television.

On the day of examination, somehow I marshaled my energies and proceeded with heavy heart and abnormal pulse rate.I did not know how I finished the examination. With that experience, I started appearing for all the competitive examinations in English medium. The fear of “English Language” was considerably reduced if not eliminated altogether.

Overcoming fear of facing conferences

After appearing for many examinations, finally I became a “Tax Man” highest civil service in the State Administration.

Now as administrator, I need to attend conferences called by my boss. Facing the Boss appeared to be stressful for me. That was the first conference. My body chemistry had been changing; it was getting ready by sensing perceived threat. I entered into the conference hall with stressful mind. Conference was completed and stressful chemicals withdrew from my body. I attended conferences regularly and got adjusted to the change.

Overcoming fear of public speaking

Overcoming fear of public speaking

In those days’ Government of Andhra Pradesh contemplated the introduction of Value Added Tax system in the State of Andhra Pradesh. My boss appointed me as one of the resources persons to conduct training classes for the departmental personnel and trade unions. My fearful mind was not ready for facing that situation. Ihad no experience of standing on the stage and giving lectures. Almost three days I was sleepless. However, I had no option but live up to the expectation of my boss. Although my mind was not comfortable with this thought, I prepared day and night.

The day has come on which I had to conduct the class by myself. I had proceeded to the stage with bated breathe and started my lecture. One hour completed. I did not know how I completed my class. Thereafter I lead series of seminars, workshops. The new assignment which caused a lot of pain in my heart initially turned into a pleasurable exercise. In fact, I enjoyed each minute of it.

Principle followed to overcome fear

If, I deeply dwell on all the events of my life, I realized that I overcome my fear by attempting the same thing which I am fearful about most.. My intense passion and compulsions forced me to face the fears. The simple principle for overcoming fear and building self confidence is thus an intense passion plus attempting the same thing that you fear.

If you have fear or doubt about anything in your life, attempt or venture the same activity that you fear. Over a period of time any activity becomes effort less habit. This simple principle can alone remove your fear and doubt. Not attempting or running away on the feeling of fear or doubt will get you nowhere. You remain fearful and frustrated all your life. You miss a lot of opportunities and enjoyment. This is the only proven principle for overcoming fear and building self confidence.
