Top 10 Ways To Overcome Fear in Uncertain Times
I made the mistake of reading a website about conspiracy theories last night. All of the sudden, I became tense and scared about the thought of economic turmoil and losing work. We’re living in some uncertain times. I wish to always wake up with enthusiasm and energy for new ideas. Then, on the other hand, I read the gloom and doom and I start to think about thepredictions of scarcity. I felt myself beginning to question my ideas for changing course in these “uncertain” times.
Ironically, the energy from the collective fear is creating the very outcome that we fear! Reactionary response is causing chaos. The more we follow the illusion that’s being created by others, instead of looking at what we are capable of creating, the closer we get to falling into the abyss, along with everyone else. If you find yourself anxious and stressed, here are some tips for over coming the fear:
10. Seek Support from Like-Minded People:
Not those who are tied into the fear, but those who are looking at a bigger vision, who areworking for positive change, who are willing to create something that will empower others, and in the end empower themselves.
9. Look Forwards, Not Backwards:
A large part of human suffering stems from our unwillingness to accept what is. What has happened has happened. You can’t change it, so focus your energy on what CAN be done. Find ways to move forward into a new reality, even if you don’t like it. The faster we adapt, the faster we reduce suffering.
8. Channel Your Fear:
If you are overwhelmed by your emotions, express them. Find good support through friends, family, and community. Instead of being fearful, focus on what you can do to change outcomes, yours, your community’s, your country’s.
7. Learn Stress Management Techniques:
Read a book, take yoga, learn meditation or breathing techniques, whatever helps you from storing the energy in your body and creating more reasons for stress. Think of it as preemptively keeping you in a good space to handle whatever is on the horizon.
6. Focus on the Moment:
How do you know you are living in fear? If you are regretting the past or anxious about the future, you are not in the moment, and that means you are in a place of fear. Joy can only be felt in the present. Outside of the moment, and, I guarantee, you are in a place of fear.
