What is fear

Sorry @pixel, gotta be quicker on the draw.

Hey, pretty good for posting from my phone at work. :wink:

Pixel.

I focus on it till I have a good grasp of how it feels. Then I just watch it until it passes. Each time I do it, it becomes less intense the next time it comes around.

I can tell you how I and hundreds of thousands of others have done it.

Then I can tell you what millions have read that has blown fear out of the water for many of them.

Because as β€œgood” or β€œeffective” as all those psychotherapies were for me and are for many others, nothing I have ever been exposed to cleared my head of anxiety like this guy did.

I face my fears and then I fight them.

I’ve learned to experience a frightful situation intentionally in a healthy way can overcome it. Hieghts used to scare me much more than they do now because I chose to walk high bridges
