Fears are the mind-killer. They will eat the soul if you let them have their way.
But fear is unavoidable — it’s in your DNA to fight or flight. There are no limits to what the lizard brain can fabricate. The imagination toggles with ‘what if’ scenarios, enduring anxiety before ever experiencing an event.
Yet the head is also psychologically safe, physiologically sound. You own the decision rights to the brain domain, driven by the string of your heart.
Fears are, in their very nature, abstract. Wade into them in their stark simplicity and irreality, and they lose potency.
Easier said than done, of course. It takes bravery to examine the validity of your negative thoughts to gain a more realistic perspective on them.
