Suffering from driving phobia can be a horrible thing and really limit you in many ways. This is why I urge you to read this article on how to get over a fear of driving and apply the 3 tricks I will share with you as they can help you to eliminate this fear from your life.
1. Take baby steps - Just as you can’t eat a huge dish in one bite, so too your fear cannot be erased in one day or even one week. You need to take small bites out of your fear by taking baby steps. The important thing is the direction to which they lead you. Continue taking these steps and you will get to your goal.
To overcome your fear of driving with baby steps I want you to slowly increase the way you interact with a car:
- At first, just sit in the driver’s seat with the car not running.
- Turn on the car but don’t drive anywhere.
- Invite some friend or family member to ride with you.
- Drive for short distances. Slowly increase the length of your ride.
Do this and you will grow accustomed to driving and your fear will diminish.
2. The second tip to get over the fear of driving that’s haunting you is to do some auto-suggestion exercises in the morning and night. Auto-suggestion is a way in which you can influence your sub-conscious mind to believe things and to act accordingly. It’s done by repeating a phrase or a sentence that you want to become real. Slowly, your subconscious will believe it is so.
I want you to say to yourself twice a day in complete concentration: “I am an excellent driver and I am not afraid to drive”. This will slowly, but surely, melt away the fear.
3. Before you set out to drive, you must prepare yourself. Close your eyes, calm your breathing and heart beat. Take some deep breaths until you feel the tension evaporating and only then start the car. You can also take stops along the way and repeat this exercise. It just works.
