Don't be afraid of the dark!

Good Evening,
The other night I overcame something rather quickly: my fear of the dark.
How?
Well generally our fear of the dark is the fact that we often create sounds and images in our heads that create even more fear. The slightest sound, we will here because our minds are looking out for things when in fact a million twigs probably crack or shuffle noises occur every hour. It's just because at night we are more inclined to listen out for these things.
My worse fear is walking home in the dark, until I found something that helped me cope. When walking home, walk in a fast but steady pace and actually count your steps either in your head or out loud. Due to the fact your mind is concentrating on counting it won't listen out for things that would usually make us scared and the more you count the closer you are to home.
My house is literally 3mins from the bus stop, and I have used this trick so much without realising - I just thought I was weird haha!
But seriously, try it - you'll understand what I mean!
Good night Lovelies!
