seeing as im getting older now, i thought it was time i faced some of my fears. the three main ones (actually there were four but i havent been able to conquer the last one. spiders). i have always had a problem with wasps. i always had to run if one came near me, looking like a idiot. until i came back from spain. you would probably already know but there are loads of wasps in spain. meaning i absolutely hated it when we ate outside (everyday.) on holiday, however, my cousin was lecturing my other cousin about wasps and why not to be scared of them. he said 'imagine your a wasp. if you were flying past someone and they made a fuss, you would keep flying past them because you would find it funny to watch them run. if you just sit still, the wasp will fly past because it thinks your no fun.' so i decided i would try it and he was right. so from that day i have conquered my fear of wasps.
black cats (not being racist.) i had no idea why they scared me. i guess ive heard too many silly stories about them. one of my friends, whos house i spend a lot of time at, has three black cats. so i guess ive just learnt that they arent bad and i dont have a problem with them anymore.
and finally, heights. i always used to tell people i had a fear of heights, when asked. the truth is, i dont actually think ive ever been afraid of heights. if i can go in planes, go down seriously high watertubes, go to go ape, go on roller coasters, and go parasailing, then clearly heights are no problem for me. so i cant really say ive conquered this fear because it never was actually a fear. it was all in my head.
at least its a start. :)
