    Hey everyone.I'd like to share my thoughts with you about fear and how it influences us in our lives.(this is a long thread so you might not like to read it.No one is forcing you by the way.)
    Fear is a choice.we might not have chosen consciously to think about fearful thoughts but on an unconscious level we always choose fair.And we don't realize what we're doing or why we're doing it because it's all unconscious.
    Our family and the society have always triggered us to fear certain things in life.Fear is becoming rampant on the planet. We can see it every day in the news.Fear limits our minds. People have so much fear about getting sick or becoming homeless or so many other things.
    Through the time we learn to act in negative ways in face of fear.We look at our parents and we imitate what they do.Maybe your father was smoking cigarettes all the time to make everything foggy and feel no pain.maybe your mother was always eating.it's possible that we do it their way or just find another way to cope with fears.We find PMO. every time that a fearful thought appear in our mind we try to get rid of it as fast as possible.so we turn on the computer and start typing those things.watch those websites and try to reach orgasms as fast as possible.we don't even think about this. because it's all unconscious.we have done this so many times and it has become a pattern in our subconscious mind.A loop that seems to have no end.
    The good news is that we're not a victim of our thoughts.We can claim our own power and use our mind to prosper instead of letting it to tear us apart.How?
    by breaking the chain of habits and creating better loops.In this case we are able to choose between wide variety of activities.
    1-daily meditation 2-doing sports 3-writing down affirmations 4-reading spiritual and self help books 5-trying a healthier diet and so many other things.be creative!
    We need to love ourselves so that we can take care of ourselves. We have to do everything we can to strengthen our hearts, our bodies, and our minds. We must turn to the Power within, find a good spiritual connection, and really work on maintaining it.
    For me positive visualization really works.I visualize myself in a very strong state both physically and mentally.I see myself talking, walking, and living from position of power.I see that I rejoice in self-love.that I no longer abuse myself and respect myself more than I respect anyone else.
    Fighting fear is not always easy.But with a little perseverance and commitment(which is highly depended on knowing and writing down our goals)we can achieve a state of mind that we always choose something that works out for our highest good.
    Let's stop underestimating ourselves.We're are all divine magnificent expressions of life.Life loves us.Why don't we love ourselves?
     
  2. (Little story before making my point)
    Today I was scaring my little brother telling him that a werewolf was in the kitchen, I saw his eyes and it looked like he was hypnotized. At first he doubts me but than I made sure to convince him by affirming my lies, I told him the construction on the neighbors house (that he never sees because he is suppose to be in school at morning) was the werewolf trying to get in, than her saw me looking up werewolf images (I am making a video about it), than saw a victim of werewolf (a drawing), than I went to the kitchen and ran back pretending to be scared.

    Now he believes me he actually thinks that there is a werewolf in the kitchen however he is too smart even though he is just 4. When he saw our aunt coming from the kitchen unharmed he went to see for himself and found nothing (off course). I congratulated him for facing his fear what no one has ever done to me, they would shame me for being scared and then take for granted when I was brave... this kind of thing kills your self-confidence and desencourage any bravery you have left that is what the world does to us (especially men), it is like "you are a loser!" and then when you do something about it they say "That is what you are supposed to do you dumb ass".

    What I am saying is that we are really conditioned to be scared, yes like you said we copy our elders but they teach us some mess up things too. What I am doing is the opposite of whatever they say and do, it is still scary but funny enough it fits exactly your top 5 :D

    I am really glad that I read all your text, thank you so much.
