Last Updated: September 4, 2022 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)
My Top fear songs celebrate Face Your Fears Day. Face Your Fears Day is the second Tuesday of October. Face your fears day is the day to put your fears aside.
As Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.
Step outside the box no matter your fear and overcome it.

Common fears include fear of heights (acrophobia), fear of being in public places (agoraphobia), fear of spiders (arachnophobia), fear of dogs (cynophobia), fear of flying (aerophobia), the fear of falling, being in small spaces (claustrophobia), the fear of travel (homophobia).
Other common fears include terrorist attacks, war, death, and failure.
We all have fears. The biggest challenge is to overcome them.
Fear only inhibits people and halts them from being the person they can become in their lives. Step back and live your life as you wish. Fears are only in your mind and don’t define a person! Cowboy up.
