Anxiety is Fear

[randyttp]

Something I have learned along the path of recovery from severe panic attacks and anxiety...

Anxiety is fear.... So to cure it and grow and control it we must find the opposite of fear.
I used to think it was Courage. cause obviously you either are fearful or brave... but I dont think its the true opposite.

I think the opposite of Fear is Faith.

Fear is believing something bad is going to happen.

Faith is believing something good is going to happen.

Switch your fear to faith.


yes I know, easier said then done (by a longshot)... but this is a starting point to what I think is true healing from anxiety. I leave it to you to ponder the difference between fear and faith and how it coincides with your life. Best of Wishes.

I always say that God gives the toughest challenges to the strongest people.

Yes, goes hand in hand with what i believe... that god will never give you more then you can handle. :)

At church Last summer there was a conference. They had multiply workshops from with in and I took the class on fear. I have learned that Fear is :
F-False
E-evidence
A-appearing
R-real

Makes sense to me.
