Once you establish the extent of your fear of failure,which of the following would be a good step toward coping with it?

A) Deliberately allow yourself to feel the fear.
B) Try to suppress your fear.
C) Try to distract yourself so you don't feel your fear.
D) Pretend you are fearless.

Deliberately allowing yourself to feel the fear allows you to acknowledge and confront it, which is a necessary step in coping with it. Suppressing the fear or distracting yourself from it may only temporarily alleviate the discomfort, and pretending to be fearless is not a sustainable solution.
