When you choose to look at the world through the tainted glasses of fear you will only see threats, rejection, terror, anxiety, apprehension, and paranoia.
Fear will make you withdraw, be insecure, cautious, timid, mistrustful, shy, contracted, blocked and dreading. Even doubt, skepticism and pride are really all disguises for fear.
When you are making decisions based on fear you are not at your best. Fear robs you of living fully in the moment and being present for life as it is. You shut yourself off from possibility.
Ask yourself:
- How much energy are you aware that is draining from you by beleiving a fear?
- How much of this fear am I carrying around with me in my daily life?
- How many of my my choices are being affected or limited?
- Does it make me FEEL good to think this?
- Is it stopping me, or encouraging me to take action, learn something new, question what I thought was true?
Fear is extremely weakiening to the human body! All thoughts of fear disempower you and produce excessive stress hormones, adrenaline and cortisol. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine the emotion of fear weakens the kidneys.
Fear basically stops you from fully living your life. It can lead to despondency, apathy hopelessness and total immobilization.
We only have so much energy with which to run our lives, and by using that energy to be in constant fear, causes us to run into an energetic debt. Eventually the resources with which we pay this debt come from the energy in all our cells, which weakens the body and creates an internal environment that allows illness to occur.
I think you'll agree that fears can proliferate and become limitless in our imagination. We can become obsessive about fear, it is very contagious! Ralph Waldo Emerson quoted that "Fear defeats more people, than any other one thing in the world"
Most people are unaware that fear has become a dominant social trend. Fear turns us into victims.
Thats why the media portrays messages everywhere of potential illnesses, statistics of victims, viruses, bacteria, wars, death, robbery, loss of status, humiliation, fear of getting old, fear of getting fat, fear of not being lovable.
When finally we do see a breif story of hope we are quickly inoculated with doubt that this might work for us. Fear is the medias most powerful weapon of controlling the masses.
Fear is also the virus of choice that is used to divide us. When we are fearful, even doubtful we become weakened and submissive to a control outside of ourselves.
The media hynotizes us with messages of fear every day. Once we beleive a fear which is sensationalized, catastophized and has a touch of urgency added to it, we go into a predicatble spiral of behaviour.
We start to look for others to join us and confirm our belief. We talk about it with others, complain about it, sensationalize it even further, give it a stronger identiy in our mind and theirs, we join support groups to discuss every dreaded detail of our fear. This is how fear infects us if we are not aware that we have a choice to stop.
Take your power back and just observe fearful thoughts.
- How do they feel in your body when you beleive that fear?
- What are you being coerced and manipulated to buy, do or think?
- Who benefits from us believing this fear?
- Does this beleif create a dependecny outside of yourself that promises health and happiness?
Fear can be used constructively however, and it can be used as a great motivator toward your goals.
But only if we start to question, detach and observe the fear. Our fears can also point us in the direction we need to grow.
Once we believe that we do have power over our own lives we will instantly experience a reduction in fear and stress. Believing we have choices to make that empower us will fill us with a renewed sense of well being.
The way out of fear is courage, faith, trust and willingness. Choose not to look and listen to stories of misery, tragedy, defeat and fear. Surround yourself with courageous and encouraging people who can serve as an example of how you too can succeed.
If you knew that your time on this earth was limited and you only had one more month, what would you do? You would lose all your fears instantly and realzie that you werent really living at all.
Everything that we want, hope to achieve and experience, is on the other side of fear. Become conscious of what you are paying attention to, what you are choosing to beleive, and don't let fear rob you of the magnificent life you deserve to live! Our time really is limited here.
