Fear

FEAR, (False Evidence Appearing Real)
Do you know what makes it Real?
The answer is simple: it’s us. :)
It is us, and that large and complex brain of ours that seems to seek out drama, repeat negative self-talk, creates false illusions of fear, and generally makes our life difficult in almost all situations. Seriously.
Every single struggle we experience on a daily basis; every complaint, every dissatisfaction, every problem can be drilled down into a single source of root cause: our brain and the stories it tell us.
Because our brain’s job is to keep us safe, it is constantly acting from a place of fear. Its job is to ensure our survival. As such, its job is not to ensure that we have a blissful experience while we are alive.

Even when everything is going well, a little voice in our head will say, “Watch out! Something bad is going to happen.” Then panic sets in, and we experience that unnerving anxious feeling of possibly losing all the good we have going for us.
Our brain is exceptional at telling us engaging stories that are so convincing that it’ll influence us to also act out of fear and irrational anxiety. Additionally, It will vividly replay the emotional story in our mental theater over and over… over and over… over and over.
It’s torture, really.
Before you know it, you’ll start to believe in the story and trusting it to be true. It becomes solidified in your mind in the form of a belief–even if it wasn’t true. We then continue our life’s journey and take action from that place of false belief.
The problem is…. we end up suffering.
Sometimes, we suffer a lot. Sometimes, we suffer for a long time. We suffer because we don’t realize that we are the problem and that we are also the solution.
In order to move forward in our lives we must be willing to face the fears and challenge them. Take one step at a time to nurture our minds with positive self talk.. Get out and take a yoga class, do some deep breathing or go out and do something that you have never done before. Place new vocabulary in your brain, tell yourself that you are capable of overcoming what it is that has you afraid!
