When you feel fearful, you DO NOT have to believe what fear is telling you.
So why not ask Fear, "Is this based on reality or imagination?"
If it is based on imagination you can tell Fear: "Get behind me. I want to experience this for what it really is without your interpretation."
There is a fundamental part of us that lies. It wants to keep us safe and it accomplishes this by trying to convince us that we cannot cope with anything new. It is hard to come to terms with but you cannot trust your inner voices all the time.
Your body and mind value survival. Knowing this ... what is fear comprised of? Desire to keep yourself safe and the imagination to create the images of you not being safe.
So the voices that tell you what to do when you feel Fear are made of the desire to keep yourself safe.
So part of you that creates the problem is also telling you how to deal with the problem. It is like an overweight couch potato telling you to exercise.
What caused the fear is now telling you what to do about it.
And it is biased!
Realise that you in many instances you should not have listened to fear in the first place.
