Overcoming Fear

[j2005]

"When I’m afraid, I have a practice of walking right into my fears rather than away from them. If people can get used to that, their fear will dissipate. Most of the power of fear is in your mind; it doesn’t really exist. It’s just this idea that looms because we are unwilling to face it. But the way to declaw it, the way to defuse it, is to step into it—right into the middle of it—and do the thing that you are afraid to do."
--MHyatt

I have learned to overcome panic attacks completely by overcoming the paralysis of fear. Fear still exists, but I don't allow it to control me. I accept the symptoms, acknowledge my fear, and wait for it to pass.

It always does.
