How To Live More Everyday By Conquering Your Fears

There’s nothing called a “problem-free” life. I hope you’ll agree with me. And even before the ‘actual’ problem(s) comes our way; we’re paralyzed by so many types of fear(s): “what if”? Certain “fears” are so intense that they leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, empty, and literary sad! And we don’t like to think about them, or talk about them. 

I was feeling muddled by such fears from last few days. And believe me, they were so hard to avoid thinking about. Fear of uncertainties, insecurity of tomorrow, a sudden feeling of emptiness in life was sending shivers down my spine.

We allow fears to define and dominate our life. Most of the times they are inevitable. Some “big” decisions of our life also involve many types of fears. But we shouldn’t allow our fears to rule our decisions. I was trying to avoid getting caught in those baseless fears; that my mind was developing. I realized, the only way to conquer my fear was by taking that- “leap of faith.” 

When we rise above our fears and doubts, we create that ecstatic moment, the aha moment of life-that seemed quite impossible until now!
But these doubts and fears are our inside negative voices, that’s holding us captive and denying us to explore or limits or to not take any risks.

We cling to fear every now and then. Sometimes we pretend not being affected by our ‘negative thoughts;’ and sometimes we fall in the trap. I would rather hold onto my faith, and believe everything will be fine, than letting fears take away my peace, and happiness from me. We all have been gifted with some super strong unseen powers within ourselves, that can break though any obstacles that stand in our way. So use those powers next time when you’re caught in any such fearful act of thinking! Stay strong. Believe. Breathe. Go for the win.

Don’t give any time, energy, or attention to fears. Just have faith in that supreme power, who decides everything for us. Strengthen your belief system and your “victories,” where you defeated your fears. Reflect on your life, and feel good about the positive stories that has happened in all these years.

I don’t think there is anything more liberating than the feeling of that moment; when you did something that a part of your mind didn’t believe was possible!

  3. Epsita, I was touched by what you wrote here… I didn't write last week because I had something happen that had me questioning myself… I did want to write but sometimes I feel like my readers act like I don't have the right to feel down… this is life, it has ups and downs .. no one is perfect… the whole thing is not to live there… I am hoping to write again soon… I will see xox

  4. you're so right dear! The more energy we give to some fear, the stronger that fear becomes! Sometimes the best thing to do is to ignore the fear…or if we can't do that we should confront it.

    Wonderful article, very inspiring. Fear is one of those things we need to learn to cope with. Sometimes a simple prayer or taking a moment can help…For example in a famous sf novel Dune (there is also a film version), that is this litany against fear. I sometimes use it as a prayer. I will copy paste it here to show you what I mean:

    "I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

  6. Wow, Ivana…wonderful lines…
    Thank you so much for sharing.
    And Thanks a bunch for those wonderful words…Means a lot to me.
    I completely agree with you what you said,"Sometimes a simple prayer or taking a moment can help." So very true.
    Thank you so much.

  7. Thank you so very much, Launna.
    I believe you must pen down your emotions. Because they give us the strength to face our challenges, and many times can be a inspiration for somebody else- as your articles are always. So don't worry and listen to your heart; even when sometimes your words are not appreciated. Let them flow out of your heart.
    Thank you once again, Dear.

  12. Thankyou so much my friend for your lovely comment on my last post, it means a lot to me!! Stay strong..believe..breathe…go for the win – these words and this post really motivated me and I too believe that whatever I am going through today, I will win tomorrow.
    Hugs and kisses <3
