Fear. It grips us. It can literally paralyze us totally and make us freeze in a minute. Anyone that proclaims that fear isn't a component in their life is either lying or they aren't pushing the envelope in any way. Fear, for people that are actually alive, presents itself daily. By nature this is hard to handle at times, but we do have the option to make decisions in face of fear. That moment, the second we elect to move forward despite what is challenging us, is an amazing show of courage.
How can you really begin working with fear run from it, cast it away, or try and block it out completely?
We must work with our deep emotions instead of hiding from them.
Maybe that's easier to say than do, but over time you become even more skillfull in working with your emotions instead of avoiding them absolutely.
Experientially avoiding your emotions is an unconditional prison cell and you may do more damage than good in collaborating in it. What ends up happening? Possibly one of the worst situations you can personally get yourself into - you become numb. I believe we have all been there from time to time and stayed in a place where we cannot feel anything. This is not the worst thing in the world, but the things that people do after they are numb are actually dangerous.
We start going down the road of compromising on our deepest foundations solely to feel again, and with a never-ending list of things that serve as great temptaitons in this life, things can start to get pretty messsy.
I've been there, I've seen many other people go there, and unfortunately it really is something that's going to continue on and on until you try a change in your perspective about how you cope with fear.
When you try to cage the wild pony of fear up, it will try to tear everything apart it can.
But if you let that fear out and permit it to buck and play in the pasture, eventually it will tire itself out and calm down to something much more manageable. Don't constrict under fear. Perhaps, as an alternative, try to soften as much as possible. Breathe. Relax. Watch fear dance around you and let it do what it must do.
If this can be done, you'll put yourself in a way more powerful place to decide beyond fear rather than being stuck in it.
