Fear leads to suffering and other negative emotions and should be avoided, as it causes stress, worry and negativity, generating suffering in the person who feels it; Therefore, it is very important to know how to recognize and deal with your fears so that you can release not only the repressed energy that permeates fear, but also anxiety and tension so that fear has less power over you.
Fear is an inevitable part of the human condition, because everyone at some point in their life has been afraid, but it is important to understand that fear is a hypothesis based on the future and exists only in people’s minds, that is, It is an exaggerated and unpleasant emotion associated with a feared assumption about the future, which implies a concern for something that has not yet happened, leading to emotional and physical discomfort.
- Fear is an illusion created by the mind about the future.
- Which becomes a vicious circle of unpleasant anticipation.
- Constantly looking for something to fear.
- When you feel a fear and it disappears.
- You immediately find another fear that haunts you.
- Because fear is strong enough and able to control the situation with only a little emotional energy that is felt with anticipated anxiety.
To overcome your fears, you have to deal with them and use them as motivation.
The first thing you must recognize is that you are afraid of how emotions, behaviors, habits and life in general influence your thinking, so make a list of the things that worry you the most, that cause you anxiety and that end up generating fear. , so you can see how your fears affect you.
Don’t leave unidentified fears inside you. Analyze them in detail so you can face them and identify their origin. You control your fears, not the ones who control you.
Worrying about something bad that you don’t know is going to happen means you want something to happen; you have to use fear backwards and get the desired result. Instead of letting fear overwhelm you, you should first find small ways to move forward and overcome it.
