Fear not!
We all know what fear feels like ... but do we really? Fear is defined as an emotional response to threats and danger, while anxiety occurs without any external threat.
The actual feelings though are quite similar and difficult to distinguish.
In addition, we could add that fear is a response to perceived threats. Given that many of us live in modern, relatively safe societies, how do we determine what is a threat or danger? For example, before a job interview one might feel a little nervous. Is this a degree of fear? If so, how is the situation perceived as a threat or danger, rather than as an opportunity? Even more, are we really feeling a form of fear, or are we perhaps excited about a new opportunity?
There is such a 'fear of fear' that some people now take medication before meeting strangers in order "not to feel uncomfortable," and it has been defined as a medical condition to be treated. Yet medication has failed to bring about healing. Why? We are missing the point. Depression is rooted in our thoughts and our minds become our own worst enemy.
What makes fear a worse emotion to feel than say anger or sadness? Certainly 'below the line' emotions are uncomfortable, but to try and numb/avoid them is like cutting off our hand because it is in the fire and is hurting.
Bonaro Overstreet said, "Perhaps the most important thing we can undertake toward the reduction of fear is to make it easier for people to accept themselves, to like themselves." And Don Miguel Ruiz said, "Our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive -- the risk to be alive and express what we really are." Which maybe is the real root of all fear.
One of the greatest fears people have is the fear of what others think of them. Yet if you accept and like yourself, and are willing to express who you are, what do others' opinions matter? By all means listen to what others have to say, and then make up your own mind. After all, if you don't live your life for yourself, no one else can - no matter how much he/she might try.
We share fear with every living creature. The difference is that we are able to add emotion and thought to the feelings. Certainly, some animals are capable of emotions - anger in particular. But as far as we know, no other animal reflects on their fears. Because we are thinking creatures, we take a fear and weave it into a story about ourselves. It is often easier to retreat into fear and use up energy there in familiar ground than to take a step forward.
As Marie Curie said, "Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood." I would add that this includes understanding oneself - and one's fears.
Book of the Month:
Language and the Pursuit of Happiness
by Chalmers Brothers
Self-observation is a trait that few of us have mastered. This book helps you develop the "big eye" of self-observation with the one simple purpose of being happy.
The book is based on four basic claims: you cannot change another person; we are not hermits; if you do what you always did you will always get what you always got; and, we are always at choice.
It is, perhaps, this last statment that is the most interesting as the author says, "We are not born winners or losers - we are born chosers."
The book shows us how to observe ourselves, the powerful role language plays in that self-observation, and the link among language, emotions and the body.
Language and the Pursuit of Happiness is compelling reading, and you will find examples of your own behaviour throughout. As well as being practical and useful, the book is entertaining and easy to read.
