Fear. It grips us. It can literally paralyze us completely and make us freeze in a second. Anyone that says that fear is not an element in their life is either lying or they aren't really pushing the envelope remotely. Fear, for people that are actually alive, presents itself daily. Naturally this is difficult to handle sometimes but we do have the option to make calls in light of fear. That moment, the moment we choose to move forward despite what is really challenging us, is an amazing show of courage.
How are you able to start to work with fear run from it, cast it away, or try and block it out absolutely?
We must work with our emotions instead of hiding from them.
Perhaps that's simpler to say than to do, but over time you become even more skillfull in working with your emotions instead of avoiding them utterly.
Experientially avoiding your natural emotions is a decisive prison cell and you'll cause even more damage than good in taking part in it. What ends up going down? Possibly one of the worst situations you can personally get yourself into - you become numb. I think we have all been there every now and then and stayed in a place where we cannot feel anything. This isn't really the worst thing in the world, but the things that people do after they're numb are really dangerous.
We start going down the path of compromising on our deepest foundations solely to feel again, and with a never-ending list of things that serve as great temptaitons in this life, things can truly start to get pretty messsy.
I've been there, I've seen plenty of other people go there, and unfortunately it is something that's going to continue on and on until you try a change in your view about how you handle fear.
When you try and cage the wild pony of fear up, it will make an attempt to tear everything apart it can.
But if you let that fear out and permit it to buck and play in the pasture, finally it will tire itself out and calm down to something much more manageable. Don't confine under fear. As an alternative try to soften as much as possible. Breathe. Relax. Watch fear dance around you and let it do what it has to do.
If you can do this, you will put yourself in a far more powerful place to pick a choice beyond fear rather than being stuck in it.
