Over and Over

Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself

Steps

  1. Pick a word related to something that's troubling you, for example "interview".
  2. Set a timer for 30 seconds.
  3. Repeat the word out loud for 30 seconds, listening to the sound of it.

Tips

  • Choose one word, not a phrase. This makes it easier to focus on the sound rather than the meaning.
  • Don't be afraid to laugh. The word usually sounds ridiculous after around 20 seconds.
