FEAR

FEAR

Fear is the pessimistic emotions felt when in danger. Fear can change a persons behavior patterns by making them escape or avoid future situations that are uncontrollable. Fear can be experienced externally from sources outside the body (ex.
heights, clowns) or internally (ex. self-doubt, inferiority) Fear is
not known at birth, fear is learned through lessons in our early youth. It is a natural selection trait stemming from the human mind adapting to be ready for a situation. Over preparation and unhealthy attention to the negative outcome of a situation will then result in fear, decreasing the personal freedom in your
lifestyle.

Common types of fear: fear of flying, fear of public speaking, fear of intimacy, fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of being alone.

CURE: We do not fear the things we DO know. Fear is a combination of many negative emotions and must be faught off in numerous ways – found throughout this book. Having an
optimistic mindstate no matter what future circumstances hold must be learned and applied to unteach fear. This can be through trial and experimentation, becoming knowledgable, acceptance of something/someone, thinking about the good things about something rather that bad ones and challenging these negative affirmations with positive ones. (ex. I’m scared of clowns/I love clowns – I know I love clowns – Clowns love me everywhere I go)
