Facing Fear – structure fears clearly, act boldly Facing Fear helps you make inner hurdles tangible — with a clear method of Definition, Prevention, Repair, scenarios, and concrete next steps. This way you make better decisions, reduce rumination, and get into action. Why Facing Fear? - Clarity instead of catastrophizing: organize thoughts, assess risks, and see in black and white what truly matters. - Action instead of procrastination: set concrete steps — with due dates and reminders. - Reflect & learn: compare expectation vs. reality and close topics consciously. How it works - Define: What is it really about? Describe your fear/decision. - Prevent & Repair: What can you do to prevent problems — and what if something does go wrong? - Scenarios: Worst case, most likely course, and best case. - Costs of inaction: What happens if you change nothing (6/12/36 months)? - Next steps: Max. three concrete actions incl. date. - Assessment: Severity, likelihood, controllability — as a risk score (0–100). - Review: Set a review date. - Close out: Reflect at the end (“What actually happened?” and “What will I tell myself next time?”) and archive the entry.
