Listen Later

Fear. It’s a pervasive issue for many. However, on this week’s Unbeatable Mind podcast, host Mark Divine takes a deep dive into the impact fear has on people’s lives and how it is propagated in our culture. Mark breaks down common acronyms such as F.E.A.R (False Expectations Appearing Real), and discusses strategies for managing realistic fears as well as fears rooted in childhood trauma and primordial anxieties. Mark traverses his way through a myriad of daily practices that can help mitigate fear and discusses the difference between rational and irrational fears so listeners can identify the two, and avoid being debilitated by either. 

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Rational vs. Irrational Fears: Identify the differences between irrational fears (like the fear of how others perceive you), vs. rational fears (like fears based on current events), and learn how to avoid becoming debilitated by either. 

  • Deep Rooted Fears: Recognize the necessity for emotional work in dealing with fears rooted in childhood trauma. 

  • Fear in Modern Society: Discover how prevalent fear instigated by current events is and how fear mongering can be a tool of control by governments. 

  • Importance of Individual Control: Learn how taking control of your own mind and environment can be a powerful tool to incite collective change.
