What To Do When We Feel Fear?

Some people experience fear more than others because of what is going on in their own personal lives or what is going on around the world. Humans have different ways of expressing fear. When fear is felt some think they are angry or frustrated. But what is actually happening is that this person is probably reacting to the fear and his or her reaction is through anger and frustration. Sometimes scared people don't even act scared but a little bit crazy or controlling.

Some avoid fear and act like it is no big deal. Some push it down and resist it but it pops up when you least expect it. Some people are even immobilized because of it and some are obsessed over it. 

There ways that can help us manage our fears and turn this fearful energy into something useful for us.

When you are feeling fear, awareness of the fear is very important. Process your fear compassionately. Hear yourself compassionately either you're experiencing an intense amount of fear or something lesser. Pay attention to what is going on in your brain to uncover anything that may be causing the fear. Don't judge or put yourself down.

Sit down and accept that you are scared and tell yourself that "it's okay".  Accept that it is just a feeling in our body but it does not mean that you in real danger. 

Breath in and allow the fear to vibrate in the body. Some might cry, others might shake and sometimes it might be subtle for some or intense for others. Processing fear and allowing it to be there may not be the same for everyone. Some might try to downplay it or push it away. Some try to take a deep breath and move on to be tough about it. 

Welcome the fear and allow it to be there. However, always tell yourself that it is just a vibration, an emotion in your body and that it is okay to feel afraid. It simply means that you are a human being experiencing an emotion.

Ask yourself about the three main thoughts that scare you. Acknowledge what you are afraid of and do not dismiss them. Write them down and listen to your own thoughts. And then, separate the facts from the thoughts. You cannot control facts but you can control what is going on inside your mind. Look at your thoughts and notice any future errors. This is still part of processing fear. Once you are comfortable experiencing fear and stop being afraid, you are automatically relieved of some of the fear.

Practice peace. Meditation can help ease fear when you feel it. It is like the two emotions are co-existing in the process.

When you feel that you are okay, even in the presence of fear, you might feel that you have extra energy. It may feel like anxiety, unused fear, or adrenaline. Utilize this energy to create something and produce something out of it. 

Channel the energy into work. Take this collective fear energy after it has been processed and put it into something productive. Get work done and get a sense of relief from the anxious energy.

Focus and channel your fear and anxiety to producing something that can serve not just the world but ourselves. Use your mental energy to work and transform this fear energy into something that helps than harms.

Always remember that scary things are never going to be over. This is part of life.

Have a lovely day or night
