Fear will never stop you.
It is your resistance to fear
that stops you.
Most of what we call "fear"
is resisted fear.
Fear doesn't have very good PR, does it?
Both you and I have been taught
from a very early age
to resist our fear,
to push it down,
to hide it from others,
if not from ourselves.
We treat fear as an enemy.
And when we treat fear as our enemy,
it will be our enemy.
When we resist our fear,
then our fear resists us.
All of our energy, all of our resourcefulness
gets tied up in an internal knot.
Battling your fear
becomes a war of you against yourself!
Linda, place the palms
of your two hands together right now,
pressing them against each other
as hard as you can.
This is what you do with your fear.
You have no energy, no resourcefulness
left over after fighting with yourself.
When we treat fear as a friend, however,
then fear becomes our friend.
Fear is just energy.
Animals, who have no capacity
to resist their fear,
are generally very resourceful
when they are frightened.
They can fight or flee very effectively.
Humans, on the other hand,
have the ability to resist
their own internal processing.
When you embrace your fear,
when you take deep breaths
and say to yourself,
"Boy, am I scared!" many times,
then you can tap into the energy
of your fear,
opening up the possibility
of using its energy
to serve you,
to serve your vitality,
and to serve your commitments.
The first step
in acknowledging your fear
is to distinguish your fear
from your resistance to your fear.
For example,
if you notice that you are worrying,
then you are definitely resisting your fear.
Worry is an attempt to do away with fear.
Worry is a resistance to fear.
In most cases,
stress is a resistance to fear.
It is a choice of courage
to find the fear
that you are resisting inside your stress.
Although it is beyond the scope of this essay
to explain why all of the following
are often, either fully or partially,
the symptomatic results of resisted fear,
I suggest that you experiment
with the idea that they are.
feeling betrayed
depression
cynicism
guilt
resentment
hatred
laziness
low self-esteem
lack of self-confidence
feeling overwhelmed
indecisiveness
procrastination
worry
anxiety
shame
bitterness
blaming others
stress
over-controlling
lying
lack of self-expression
boredom
complaining
crankiness
resignation
feeling dispirited
impatience
defensiveness
over-protectiveness
ingratitude
perfectionism
obsessiveness
petulance
stubbornness
inflexibility
self-consciousness
righteousness
animosity
callousness
criticism of others
self-criticism
arrogance
feeling foolish
nagging
bitchiness
rebelliousness
showing disrespect
rudeness
jealousy
envy
Once you've identified
a suspected symptom of resisted fear,
regardless of whether or not
you can feel it as fear, the second step is
to breathe deeply and relax into the fear,
speaking/shouting as loudly as possible
(given the immediate environment),
"Boy, am I scared!"
By doing this,
you will begin to align with your energy
(so that you can use it),
rather than continuing
to resist the energy of your fear.
Notice how, in doing this,
the symptoms (worry, guilt, resentment, etc.)
lessen or disappear!
Linda, I invite you
to find at least five occasions today
where you are resisting your fear.
Then breathe!
