"Recognize the truth that fear generally is a filler with which the Devil occupies the unused portion of your mind. It is only a state of mind which you can control by filling the space it occupies with faith in your ability to make life provide you with whatever you demand of it."

Fear. Everyone experiences it. What divides the successful from the unsuccessful is how we handle it. In this episode, we talk about where fear comes from, how we handle it, and how we might improve our relationship with fear. How do we train ourselves to believe, on a deep level, that we can get what we want from life in spite of fear?

This week's exercise:

Find something meaningful, that you would like to do, that gives you a fear response. Look for something that gives you about a 4/10 or less, so nothing TOO scary to start.

Identify the thought patterns that lead to and reinforce your fear response. Write out some counter-thoughts or actions you can take to mitigate them.

Systematically expose yourself to your fear. Make a plan, and do it.

Debrief on what happened. How much fear did you actually feel? How much do you feel now that you're done? What could you have done differently?
