Face your Fear

Fear :

People living on peacefully country maybe never know real FEAR

but

People living on war country maybe they are very really know what this mean "FEAR"

Your fears appear when you step outside of your 'comfort zone.' Knowing how to stretch your comfort zone is the first step in overcoming your fears.

All of us have fears and we need to get over them. Running away from your fears don't make them go away, that just makes them bigger than ever. Fears usually come down to insecurity and uncertainty of something. Before we can face them, you need to learn more about what makes you fearful of these situations. It could be from a past experience.

Fear does not exist. It is only an illusion of how we interpret bad things that happen to us.

The more you think about fear, the more powerful it becomes in your own mind.

Best way to unveil the illusion is to have an intense focus on it and take a deep breath, hold it in until you can't hold it any more, then release it. Then inhale and breath it out again. e.g. public speaking, most people have this fear. Practice the breathing technique when you are preparing your speech and try it at the next toastmasters meeting.

I disagree with the sentiment that fear is an illusion or an enemy. Fear is a perfectly healthy phenomenon -- it's utterly irrational, but so are all emotions. Fear tells us when to run away, when the sabertooth tiger is just a little too much for us to take on.

Even more importantly, fear (like any emotion) is an excellent feedback mechanism. When we identify an element of fear, especially one that is acting as an obstacle, we have two choices: the rational and the irrational. The rational mind examines and picks apart the fear: "What is the root of this fear?" "Is this fear a valid one? If yes, why? If no, how to I circumvent it?" The irrational response would be to simply shut down and ignore the fear, to assume the validity of the emotion before investigating it.

This is why "face your fear" is an accurate way of thinking about it. Fear is perfectly natural and healthy, not something that we need to "get rid of" as some might argue. It is not healthy to ignore fear and leave it unresolved; this only serves to hem you in and shrink your world of possibilities.

I can handle life... my fear is that so few of US
realise the extortionate extent to which our
beloved leaders are lying through their false teeth,
and committing treason with gay abandon every day
of their boring lives in DC.

Every one of Them knows full well about
the 9/11 Insider Job in which their corporate friends
were intimately complicit. They MUST know about
the BP Macondo Crime.... but I'm stopping right there...
and switching my long List-Building efforts back to IM

Hope the self-evident truth lurking (none-too-obviously
for some warriors for sure) in this diatribe qualifies
as my post #12 towards the 15 that hopefully
licenses me to fly solo after a mere 4 years
on the wonderful warrior website.
