Fear or failure,fear or rejection that we are just not enough – fear can keep us locked up in the prison of the comfortable and predictable,which presents us from reaching our potential.
Don’t let fear control you.If you are living in fear , your anxieties have escalated to the point that they are running the show.
Many of us spend a lot of time of worry about the future and living in fear of the past or the present,that affects on our thoughts and health as well as on society. We create a habit of fear , when fear comes and we are upset and worried , the first thing we need to do is acknowledged that fear. We can recognise and embrace it rather than acting it out.
Our fear is not just from our own birth and childhood, the fear we feel comes from both our own and our activities. Our feeling and we show around us that many people are suffering from hunger and other changes in life and there were moments when we were extremely anxious. That kind of fear has been transmitted to us, everyone of us has that fear inside and because we suffer from that fear ,we make the situation worse.
We worry about our safety,our job and our family.we worry about external threats .
However,we can prepare for the future with planning and without getting consumed by our negative thoughts.Often we either don’t plan at all or we get caught up in obsessive planning because we fear the future and it’s uncertainty.The present moment is where we need to operate.So, we know,there is no losing ourselves in worries and fear concerning the future. If we are grounded in the present moment,we can bring the future into the present to have a deep look without losing ourselves in anxieties and uncertainty.
If we are truly determined and and know how to take care of the present situations or moment as best we can ,we are doing our best for the future already.
The same is true about the past. The teaching and practice of mindfulness don’t forbid looking deeply into the past.But if we allow ourselves to drawn in regret and sorrow concerning the past,that is not right mindfulness.If we are well established in the present situations,we can bring the past back to the present moment and have a deep look.we can very well examine the past and the future while we are established in the present moment. In fact, we can learn from the past and make a plan for the future in the best way if we are serious and giving deep thought in the present moment.
How can we let go of fear and relinquish the anger and violence in us? We must listen deeply and learn to practice the way how to control the anger and fear – meditation,yoga and calmness practice,which letting go of their fear and violence, anger.
Practising mindfulness of fear and looking deeply into its origin provide the answer.
Accept your past without regret, handle your present without confidence and face your future without fear.
Fear can’t coexist with positive emotions.we can not feel both scared and joyful or afraid and peaceful.
