You may think that you are the only one with a particular fear, that nobody else could possibly fear ordinary things such as water, heights, public speaking, or flying. But everyone has fears, it’s a natural part of being human. These types of fears are very common, and you can have great success overcoming them. Fear can protect us from harm by sending a rush of adrenaline to help us physically deal with potential danger. But there are times when fear may keep us from participating fully in life. Moving into fear is a common experience that we can each look at and change. Remember, it is not the absence of fear but the courage to take action anyway that determines success. Once we realize that fear is a state of mind, we can choose to face our fears, change our minds, and create the life we want to live. Our minds are powerful tools to be used by our higher selves, to make certain connections between thought and response. It’s important that we learn to observe our thoughts and feelings but not be ruled by them. We have the ability to observe these and choose how to shape the lives we want. No matter where the fear comes from, we can create new connections by choosing new thoughts. When our spirits and minds are aligned, we create a new experience of reality. However, this journey requires small steps, patience and courage through the process. Your heart may be racing, but your confidence will be boosted by the accomplishment. The process for conquering any fear is gradual, but if it becomes too overwhelming, I sincerely suggest the help of a professional.
