It is sometimes easier to observe this kind of behaviour in other people and sense it for what it is than to recognize the same thing in oneself. Dissolving fear is a process. It requires you acknowledge reasons for your fear and be willing to explore and confront them. As a person learns what it means to be grounded in the moment, that is, to be present, that person views his conditions as grounded in that moment. Fear develops based on possibilities that have not yet occurred. Many possibilities are always options. No particular outcome is carved in stone. Discipline the mind. Changing your thoughts changes your perception and how you ground yourself in the now. <abbr><em>Liara Covert´s last blog post..<a href="http://blog.dreambuilders.com.au/journal/2009/3/6/trigger-divine-revelations.html" rel="nofollow">Trigger divine revelations</a></abbr></em> I know people who permit fear to control their behaviour and choices.

I think people do get overwhelmed, especially when fear is involved. Breaking things down to components help make it less overwhelming and more manageable. ari Liara,

Many times, when people face an obstacle, they are unsure how to re-orient and get over it. You kindly encourage people to do things in stages, to acknowledge what is not working, to face their fears and work through their feelings in ways that make sense to them. It is a stage-by-stage process that reflects a phase of a learning curve. Everything happens at exactly the right moment--in the now. <abbr><em>Liara Covert´s last blog post..<a href="http://blog.dreambuilders.com.au/journal/2009/2/19/8-ways-to-rediscover-supernormal-perception.html" rel="nofollow">8 Ways to rediscover supernormal perception</a></abbr></em> Your systematic way of going about self-reflection is inspiring.

The present challenges are just triggers, not really the cause of the fear -- the fear was already inside. So whatever triggers it to surface is really doing you a favor, though it may not feel like it, because it's letting you know that there's an underlying fear. Once you see it, then you can start thinking about how to heal it. A great insight, Chris! ari Hi Chris,

Aha, that’s a great point! The present challenges are just triggers, not really the cause of the fear — the fear was already inside.

A great insight, Chris!

One thing I've noticed as well is that when we experience a fear that seems to be related to a specific aspect of our lives (e.g., getting your accounting right), it's a fear that's actually in the background no matter what we're doing. It sounds like for you it's a nagging sense that "I can't do it right." Once we see that the same fear is all over our lives, that actually helps us see that it has nothing to do with our present circumstances and to move beyond it. <abbr><em>Chris Edgar | Purpose Power Coaching´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.purposepowercoaching.com/site/?p=207" rel="nofollow">How To Make An Audio CD Program On A Budget</a></abbr></em> Thanks for this Ari.
