The Practice of Fearlessness


Some think fear keeps them safe, on guard against danger. But the opposite is true. Fear confuses our minds, tells us lies, lowers our immune system and undermines our relationships. There is never a reason to hold onto fear. Being in the grip of fear is like being stung by a serpent.

The first thing to understand is that you can make better judgments, take constructive action and increase your safety when you release fear from your life. There are many steps to take on the path of Becoming Fearless and this blog will be dedicated to sharing them all.

The first step is to know that fear is a liar. When you refuse to believe the false messages it brings you and do not give in to the catastrophic expectaions it creates, fear weakens and backs away.

When fear assaults you with a negative message, stop, look it in the eye and refuse to believe what it's saying. This will take its power away. Fear takes its strength from your belief in it. Once the fear departs, you will be able to see much more clearly exactly what is going on. You do not need fear to be safe. In fact the confusion created by the fear, takes true safety and clarity from you.

Today, when ever you hear a frightening or negative message, stop, refuse it. Feel the fear behind it and tell the fear it can go...Once the fear has subsided you can look at the situation again with new, clear eyes. You will also be strengthened to take whatever constructive action may be called for at that time.

Instead of believing in the power of fear, why not believe in the power of truth?

You Can't Step Into The Same River Twice

We all hold onto everything and want to keep things the same. Fear arises if a person changes, a job seems uncertain, or if a relationship begins to shift under our eyes. When change happens we feel like a failure or as if we're having to undergo loss.

But life is nothing but change. It cannot be otherwise. Change is natural, necessary, a force for growth. If a baby did not change, she would never go from crawling to walking, an older child would never go from kindergarden to first grade, a pregnant woman would never deliver her baby. Why do we fear and resist change so? Why do we spend so much energy holding back the natural tides?

To release fear about change, recognize the fleeing nature of life. Make peace with it. Spend time watching changes that take place naturally and embrace the beauty within these changes. See how each change brings something new in its wake.

Make a practice of enjoying change, welcoming it into your life. If you notice catastrophic expectations cropping up, say no to them. Focus on whatever life is giving, and say thank you for it.
