What is Fear?

Can you schedule Fear? Fear is a function that should protect our lives in the early history of mankind.
However, in our civilized society, we cannot just run away or beat somebody when we are scared.
When we block this unconscious reflex it leads to tensions that can even affect our health.

The Stone Age pattern can lead to violence and results in abstruse activities and a need to control the anxiety-causing condition.

Reasons for fear

Civilization has given us a lot of anxiety, not all of this leads to violence, but has an impact as harmful stress.

We fear for our jobs, our future, the questions of our children, of the boss, or what our partners or neighbors think of us.

The list is endless. People react differently to fear, depending on culture, education, and character.

Dealing with fear

Often we do not admit that we are afraid. Fighting, running away, and hide is not appropriate anymore
It is important to recognize exactly what triggers the fear, to deal with it. Do not allow fear, but you may use the distributed adrenaline for positive reactions.
Make fear your partner. If we pay attention to our feelings we can use fear to know what not to do.

It can even guide us.

f fear comes in, our intuition tells us, we need to learn and overcome something.

Here some quotes:

“What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.”
-Jiddu Krishnamurti

“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”
-Marie Curie

“Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously.
Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh

We read so much about the law of attraction, but do we realize and did we understand that where our intention goes the energy flows and we attract more of it?

And did we not all hear these words?
Job 3:25-26:
“What I feared has come upon me;
what I dreaded has happened to me.
I have no peace, no quietness;
I have no rest, but only turmoil.”

This is the truth, I think all of us have at one time in our life experienced it.
If we think too much about our fear we will get more of what we can fear about it.

Schedule your fear

There is a very good way to deal with fear. I learned to schedule my fear, this means it does not even feel like fear to me anymore. You may not believe it, but it is possible.

Therefore, if there is something happening which makes you fearful and is uncomfortable, make a schedule and say: I am going to deal with you in 3 days.

Put your attention on something positive you want to do and whenever this feeling comes up, tell it, later, I deal with you in 3days. Let the mud settle and get clear.

You will see that everything can change for good after this time, but not
when you focus on negative feelings, turmoil, and fear.

My Story about Fear

I had often times when I used to schedule Fear
For example, I came 1980 from Iran to Germany, this was 2 years after the revolution and my husband and I decided that I go to Germany to put the kids’ into school there because in Iran the school of my kids closed and a new law would not let my son out of the land the next year. I went as if we go on a vacation to see what can be done. We thought we have the ability to come and go until there is a solution.

War  changed everything

It was one week later when the war with Iraq started, the border was closed and no way to go back or my husband comes out.
We did not have the intention to go and live in Germany, we had a good life in Iran, even after the revolution. But with this war, everything changed.

The Neighbours every day came to tell me about the bombs over Tehran and how bad it is there. But I did not look even TV, it was anyways not the truth.
First, there was no phone connection, but after 3 days, I got the first message, all are alive nothing bad happened to them.
I have learned to trust my Intuition and did not let fear rule my life. I got busy with life
and discussed every day with my kids the next steps we need to take.

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.
If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
–Dale Carnegie

Remembering

Also, I remember that even without this war, many would have been scared because I was alone with my kids in a huge empty house, not even a phone was there.
My mother lived in another town and wanted me to live there, to help her with my grandma’s house and a huge garden.
Grandma has been living with my mother because she got sick 2 months before and in between the tenants which lived in the house had left. And because nobody was there to take care
they left a big mess, which I needed to take care of.

Now, here I am with my husband still alive and healthy.
I could tell many more stories like this.

Remember!
In this universe, there is no question without an answer and no problem without a solution.
We have a power within us that is far bigger than any tragedy, problem, or fear we ever have in our life.
All we need is faith, thinking positively, intuition, and make Fear our partner.
