Loving your fear

William Michael Forbes




One of the biggest misconceptions about life is that our emotions are an effect of what is outside of us....when in fact they are always existent only within us wmf

A Well Known Fact: The world around us stimulates that which is already within us or not.

How often have you tried to overcome something you were afraid of with sheer willpower?

Whether you have fear of relationship, a fear of bugs, a fear of snakes, a fear of heights...any kind of fear...willpower can only take you so far because you are trying to force one part of yourself to submit to another and this isn’t much different than using fear as a means to acquire co-operation from someone...it doesn’t work well and it alienates others from you. Fear has historically been used by barbaric individuals to control others...tools such as superstition, religion, dictatorships, the projecting of guilt and shame and ultimately when these do not work, physical force. Today’s blog is about guiding you beyond your fear by loving it.

The process for overcoming any fear in a healthy and positive way is love. Love is the ultimate perception of good that any human individual can conceive of at whatever stage of development they exist at...therefore any internal perception of “good feeling” is a degree and expression of love for the individual...it is what I teach people to become aware of within themselves and this awareness naturally and positively inspires growth. With this idea in mind here is your activity for how to be happy in fifteen minutes or less.

During this day, for two minutes in each of the next seven hours, recognize fear when it is happening...notice anything that makes you anxious, nervous, uncomfortable and when you do take a deep breath and become aware of where you feel that fear in yourself...it might help to close your eyes and feel the fear more internally...then as you become more aware of the fear think or say to the fear in a tone of voice that sounds like you really mean this...”I Love you...I will take care of you...” You are perfectly safe with me and then notice and feel how the feeling inside you changes. If you are dealing with a fear of heights or insects or people...close your eyes feel the feat on the inside and repeat the same statement to the fear as either a thought or feeling...” ”I Love you...I will take care of you...” it is most important that the way you present these words to yourself be in a tone of voice that sounds like you really mean it...then notice how the feeling changes and...

Have a great day!
