S0 Ep 5: How Does Awareness Combat Fear?

What is Fear? Fear (from Dictionary.com) 1.      noun a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real orimagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. 2.      something that causes feelings of dread or apprehension; something a person is afraid of 3.      anticipation of the possibility that something unpleasant will occur 4.      verb to consider or anticipate (something unpleasant) with a feeling of dread or alarm 5.      Living in a fear-based society Fear tends to be more about being afraid to suffer rather than the suffering that might truly occur. How do Tangible and Intangible Fears Differ? How do those “in power” use fear to control us? In what way is this a fear-based society? What are tangible fears? What are intangible fears? “Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.” – The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. How Do You Face and Overcome Your Fear? There are some amazing quotes when it comes to exploring, facing, and overcoming fear. “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” - Litany Against Fear from Frank Herbert’s Dune “The only things we have to fear is fear itself.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt “Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” - Yoda Finding and using attitude shifters – sounds, images, smells and activities that will confront and remove the fear. Face it directly. Meditate on it. Tackle it.  Use mindfulness of your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions to be aware. Your conscious awareness will help you find and see reason – which, in turn, will combat fear. https://mjblehart.com [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/mjblehart/ https://twitter.com/MJBlehart https://www.facebook.com/blehartmj/ mjblehart.medium.com Cover artist Fe Mahoney: [email protected] and https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaliasInspirations Learn more about your ad choices.
