Fear is an inherent urge that to some extent can protect you -- for instance when you avoid walking down a dark alley for fear of who could be lurking there. Yet when fear becomes an overwhelming theme in your life, and you begin to fear everything from losing your job to spiders to not being a good parent or spouse, it interrupts the natural joy that life is supposed to contain.
Whatever it is that you’re afraid of, the underlying battle is not with the object or the situation but rather with the fear itself.
“Fear is always false evidence appearing real. So fear always feeds on itself,” says Hale Dwoskin, CEO and Director of Training of Sedona Training Associates.
In other words, the more you focus on fear, and on the things that could go wrong, the 'what ifs' and the imaginary monsters lurking under your bed, the more real they become.
In reality, your fear is nothing more than unsettled, negative emotions that you allow to surface.
What is most important to realize is that fear is simply a feeling -- not a fact and not who you are -- and you can let it go no matter how strong it appears, Dwoskin says.
You see, our fears and doubts make us defensive. When we are defensive, we are holding in our mind what we don't want -- so that's what we get. As you release your defensiveness, you see solutions instead of problems, and your fear will suddenly disappear. You can learn exactly how to release your fears and defensiveness by learning the scientifically proven Sedona Method.
In short, the key to overcoming fear is to overcome your belief that you should be afraid.
"You must let go of the expectation that is built into the fear," Dwoskin says. "If you are afraid of public speaking, for instance, let go of the expectation of making a mistake or having the audience not like you. Also, remember that no matter how strong the fear may be you can always let it go and feel -- and actually be -- safer now."
