Some tips for overcome fear in a life .
NOTES
·
When you're afraid (of criticism, failure and rejection),
you'll kill yourself trying to be perfect. Of course, the mask of perfection
also separates you from what you most want: real intimacy, to be known, loved,
and accepted for your true self.·
When you're afraid to disappoint people or get rejected if
you don't say yes, you'll fall into fear-based, people-pleasing,
self-sacrificing behaviors that lead to resentment.·
Fear causes inner pain, a soul sickness that can show up as
depression, anxiety, restlessness, helplessness, hopelessness, frustration,
sadness, loneliness and fatigue. In order to avoid this inner pain, you engage
in addictions and other numbing behaviors. This only puts a temporary Band-aid
on the pain, while increasing feelings of low self-esteem that just increase
the inner pain.·
When you're afraid of putting yourself in the arena because
of fear of failure, success, uncertainty, judgment, criticism, or rejection,
you'll tend to stand on the sidelines where you feel safer. When you face fear
head on, motivation replaces procrastination. You're not "going for
it" based on a fear-based need to "make it happen." Instead, the
natural inclination toward love and service generates inspired action that
pushes you toward that which wants to be born through you.·
When you're afraid, you avoid making the decisions your soul
knows you must make. Your intuition
tells you it's time to leave that toxic relationship. Or quit that
soul-sucking job. Or set boundaries with your mother. Or go to rehab. Or speak
up about the integrity breaches at work. But you're terrified of the
uncertainty.
·
When you're afraid, you feel the need to micromanage
everything. You mistakenly think you live in a hostile, random universe that's
out to get you unless you grab the wheel with both hands and steer your life
toward what you want. You don't trust that it's a purposeful universe, that
life is intelligent, that everything that happens helps you grow your soul,
even if it's not what your ego wants.

Fear isn't just an uncomfortable emotion that holds you back
from following your dreams. It also triggers stress responses in the body that
put you at risk of disease and make it hard for the body to heal itself.
Fearful people are more likely to get heart attacks, cancer, diabetes,
autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, chronic pain and even the common
cold. They're also more likely to experience milder symptoms, such as insomnia,
low energy, obesity, dizziness, headaches, backaches, decreased libido and
gastrointestinal distress.
Fear Not!
This isn't meant to frighten you.
It's meant to wake you up, give you hope, and inspire you to embark upon the
journey of transformation from fear to freedom.
So how do you cure fear?
First, it's not so much about curing fear, which can be your
friend! It's more about letting fear cure YOU. When you develop the right
relationship with fear and uncertainty, fear can be the finger pointing toward
everything in need of healing in your life. Here are a few things that can you
can do now.
1. Focus on what you appreciate.
Love
can transmute fear almost instantly when you open your heart and allow yourself
to feel gratitude. Close your eyes and think about a child you love or a
beloved who touches your heart. Remember a time when you felt wrapped in the
arms of Divine love, when you were touched by a synchronicity or a birth or a
miracle and you just knew you were loved and protected by a nurturing universe.
Let yourself experience that memory of love and connectedness. Watch fear
dissolve in the moment.
2. Meditate.
Meditation
is a well-studied and scientifically-proven way to reduce fear, improve your
health, ramp up your courage, and tune you into the frequency of real life
magic. If you've never meditated before, try downloading the free
"Prescription For Courage" kit at TheFearCureBook.com. It includes guided meditations meant to calm your nervous
system, boost your faith, rewire your fear-based worldview, and help you
transform your fear into fuel for awakening.
3. Question your beliefs.
Every
time you have a fearful thought, question it. What's true about that thought?
What's not true about that thought? The minute you question your thoughts and
beliefs, you start to create distance, allowing you space to take a witness
position to your thoughts. This starts to loosen fear's hold on you right away.

resources at Byron Katie's The Work.
4. Trust the Universe.☺☺☺☺☺Ҝ☺☺☺☺☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
Einstein
said, "The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live
in a friendly or hostile universe." When you believe it's a hostile
universe, life is scary. But when you trust that you are held, loved, safe,
nurtured, and protected by a guiding intelligence that is ALL LOVE, you can
relax.
Whether
you ascribe to any specific religion or just consider yourself "spiritual
but not religious," anything that facilitates your trust in a friendly
universe helps you let go and surrender, making your desires and problems an
offering to the Divine in whatever way feels authentic to you.
5. Find your soul tribe.
It's
REALLY hard to make this kind of radical transformation alone! Find other
spiritually-inclined, courageous beings who are making brave choices to be
their most authentic selves. And limit your exposure to people who let fear run
their lives (without judging them).
If you make this journey alone, you'll
feel terrified — and crazy. But when you see the magic that starts to happen
when others live their lives this way, it will inspire you to stay the course,
even when the journey gets challenging. You'll also have way more fun letting
your freak flag fly when others are flying theirs with you.
