Fear is always about something that isn’t in the moment. Our
\nfear is always about something that might happen or something we think has
\nalready happened. If we focus our attention fully in the moment there is no
\nfear. When we are fully present in the moment we are connected to our spirit.
\nWhen we are connected to our spirit there is nothing to fear because we are
\ninfinite, eternal and immortal. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n


\nHow can we apply that to our everyday life? What do we do
\nwith those niggling fears or endless negative thoughts? Moment by moment,
\nthought by thought we have a choice. We can believe our old habitual thoughts
\nor choose to create some new thought patterns. Thoughts only have the power we
\ngive to them. They can only affect us if we believe them and give them our
\npower. <\/p>\n

So you have a fearful thought. You can believe it, feed it
\nwith your personal power and allow it to affect your life or you can practice a
\nnew behavior that will set you free. You can simply observe the thought,
\nacknowledge it and choose a new one. <\/p>\n

If you accept the fearful thought you will create fear and
\ninvite events into your life that are consistent with fear. If instead you
\nsimply observe the thought you can choose a loving thought instead and invite
\nevents into your life that are consistent with love.<\/p>\n

Freedom from fear is simply a matter of realizing you can
\nchoose your emotions. You can feed your fear or starve it. When you stop believing
\nin your fear and giving it all your energy you can expand your ability to love
\ninstead. <\/p>\n
