"Remind yourself that fear is just that - fear.
It does not need to control your destiny."
Sheila Reynolds
As a secondary emotion, fear is a blanket covering up an original emotion. When we peal it back, the triggering emotion is exposed. Viewing in the present moment what is hidden, lessens the power it has over us.
We can ask ourselves if this sensation is true and investigate where it is coming from. Has it been instilled in us by someone else or is it a story we have made up, repeating it habitually. Assessing our feelings helps us to move forward and transform.
We can choose a new way to react to old situations. We are not the same person we used to be. Now, we have enhanced knowledge, effective tools and various life experiences allowing us to minimize our fearful reactions. With clarity, we create resolve.
