Conquering fear?

What's the best way to conquer your fear?

Let's say I have a fear of those traditional big red barns. What's the best way for me to get rid of that fear so I can enter one without a second though?

You have to expose yourself to them. In the case of the red barn, walk up to the barn as close as you can. Everyday try to walk up closer to that barn until you can touch it. Then challenge yourself and go inside. It takes a lot of hard work to conquer fears, but with enough dedication and motivation you can do it! Remember, baby steps!

I had an irrational fear of spiders for many years. I overcame it by having to rescue my kids from a deadly one.

I would ask you specifically what frightens you about barns? Then we could talk through it. Then we could start by looking at a barn from some distance, and gradually approach.
