Our imaginations are often not good to us when it comes to fear. Imagination can become a rabbit hole leading you away from resourcefulness and reason. Fear can imprison your mind in an endless Winter so that you can’t see Spring arrive.
Think back to all the times you feared something would happen - how often did it happen just the way you thought it would? Not often! It's not that scary things don't happen in life, its that 90% of what appears to be imminent danger is not what is actually going to happen. So 90% of the time, worry and anxiety about something simply steals our energy to deal with what will actually happen.
If we know that the 90 percent of scary incidents in life do not unfold the way we think they will, we are free to work on being the kind of person that can handle whatever comes one’s way, good or bad.
If you are experiencing fear today, talk to your friends. Ground yourself through techniques like journaling, contemplation and meditation. Take deep breaths. Seek professional help if your fears don’t go away. You can always find a way to mitigate FEAR - which is often no more than False Evidence Appearing Real.
