You can not manage your fears, unless you apply universal principles or laws.
If you try to manage your fears just on your pure desire, outside universal principles, your fear-self-managemnet will not last long.
For instance, let say that you fear examinations. There is the universal principle of conservation and transformation of energy, including the energy of the thinking process: " The energy remains constant, it doesn't disappear, it transforms from one form in another one". How do you apply this principle to your fear?
There is a part of your mind, responsible for the fear of examinations. You may to replace it, with other form of fear. And you may do this in two steps:
First step: Think about showing your gentleness and full love towards other people. You may do this, not because those people deserve your love or not. Not at all. You just take initiative in showing them your unconditional love, not asking something back. This is the key.
Second Step: Try hard to fear failing to show gentleness and love towards other people.
The result: this new fear replaced your fear for examinations. There is no place for it in your mind anymore!
