Handling Fears

[anagogy]

My fears aren't phobias though. It's like when I fantasize, I fear I am violating the free will of characters within me.
When I imagined I was climbing the densities, I was fearful. When I peeked in the previous Octave I was really fearful.
When I got room #911 at the mental hospital, I was fearful.
When they were showing Halloween shows at the mental hospital I was fearful.
I've had dreams where I look at a blank white billboard and I am overcome with fear.
I sometimes have a fear of movie theater screens that are blank.
I sometimes have a fear of tv screens that are off.
In dreams I am afraid of closets, especially if dark.

Whenever you feel fear it is not the thing you are looking at that is generating the emotion, it is the thoughts you are thinking about it that are manifesting it.

Fear and anxiety are virtually always a thought about a potential detrimental consequence.

I often do an exercise where I take a scenario that generates fear in me and I replay it but this time I deliberately control the outcome and I make it turn out positive. And then I do it again. And again. And again. And again until my natural inclination is to expect a positive outcome. And I know when I've succeeded because the knot in my stomach goes away and I feel free and at peace about it. I feel a visceral sense of relief.

An object in motion will stay in motion unless an outside force acts on it. Use your creative power. Be that force. Redirect your thoughts into a different trajectory.

You can train yourself to expect the worst, or you can train yourself to expect the best. It just takes practice.
