A Simple Way to Confront Constant Fear
F.E.A.R.
False Evidence Appearing Real
Have you been through phases of your life where one harsh thing after another looms up and causes fear in you?
Many of us don’t realize how fearful we are even on an everyday basis. It would augur well for people to notice when they are uptight or unhappy, and to delve in and see if their present emotion is fear, however small.
Constant fear gnaws away and drains a person of their energy, and even more, serious repercussions may eventuate.
Constant fear was in the background during 2016 for me because of an uncertain and changing work environment. It came to the crunch when I was fearful that my manager would not renew my contract for part-time hours.
I was completely stressed out, but part of the reason was that I had chosen a negative mindset and allowed myself to feel upset and pessimistic about being unappreciated.
In January 2017 I considered throwing myself in front of a train, contemplating that those whom I loved were mature and well able to look after themselves.
False Evidence Appearing Real had got me thinking that I was a nobody and of no use to anyone. But I didn’t jump and chose to take the simple step of confiding my thoughts and feelings to my loved ones.
To my surprise, they gave me a lot of support and made me realize that I could ask for help when I felt that Life was out of control. So many people don’t ask for or look for help, but a simple way to confront your fears is to:
Get help
People believe that they are a nuisance or weak if they ask for help, but consider that “no person is an island”. You were not born to bear things alone.
Last week I had to take a combination of antibiotics. I was fearful that it would cause side effects and that it would affect my INR, a measure of anticoagulation, for warfarin use. I asked my guardian angel and guides for a sign that all would be well. That day I felt an amazing comforting and loving presence around me. Still, I doubted.
I then posted on a Facebook group asking for prayers and healing thoughts, and many responded so. Then I emailed a friend overseas to ask how to get a Yes or No answer from my spirit guides.
She replied after you tune into them, you can use a pendulum or flip a coin or similar. She asked her guides, and they said Yes it would be safe for me to take these drugs.
Three times I asked for help when the “old” me wouldn’t have even asked once. Four days into taking the antibiotics I had no side effects at all, nor did my INR dramatically change.
A little bit of help, even if you ask for it in different ways, goes a long way.
