The Fear of fear
“We let our fear drive us, but fear itself is not our real problem.”
“Our real problem is that we fear the wrong things: What we should really fear is that we will miss the opportunities that fear offers.”
“Often, we notice fear’s warning but ignore its guidance.”
“If we learn how to recognize what fear can teach about ourselves and what we value, then we can use it as a tool to obtain greater meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in our lives.”
“We can use fear to get the best of us.”
“Fear will get the worst of the best of us.” (From Tom Hanks)
The stress response
“The first thing we need to realize about stress is that it doesn’t do a good job of classifying problems.”
“When your brain shouts “Fear!”your body can’t differentiate between whether the threat is real or imagined”
“When you dear with fear and hardship, you realize that you’re capable of dealing with fear and hardship.”
“This gives you a new perspectives: the confidence that when bad things happen, you will find ways to handle them.”
“With that increased objectivity, you become better able to differentiate what’s actually worth being afraid of and what’s not.”
“In order to change our relationship with fear, we have to change our perception of it.”
“Once we can see the value that fear offers, we can change how we respond.”
