Can you live in fear? Fear is an incapacitating feeling or emotion that clouds our vision and makes us unable to enjoy life as we deserve. Maybe these will help you 8 tips to live without fear.
But before looking at these tips, I invite you to see this video titled «How to Overcome Fear».
In this video, David Cantone tells us a story that teaches us a nice moral about how we can overcome fear.

What to do when fear traps us?
1) Think that most fears are unfounded. We are anticipating future events that in a high percentage will not be fulfilled.
2) Focus on the positive: put your focus of attention on those things that you like. Live in the moment and surround yourself with positive experiences and people.
3) Life is a sigh. Is it worth living in the grip of fear? The time will come for all of us. I would not like to be on my deathbed and think that I have not been able to do certain things or that I have made certain decisions because I was afraid. Face the matter.
4) Share your fears with other people. Having people around you will always be a positive aspect. You have nobody? Unfold. Think of yourself as that little child that you were and needs your protection. Take care of yourself as if you were a child. Talk to yourself inwardly. It will be a conversation between a strong, responsible, happy, powerful and successful adult, and a helpless and fearful young child.
Love yourself very much. If you have children you will love them more than your own life. You also have your child within you. Love it and make it strong.
5) You have good health? So what are you complaining about? Health is the most important thing in life.
6) Do what you think is fair. Don't anticipate facts. Live in the moment and when you have to act, act fearlessly, firmly and fairly. You sure have strong convictions. Hang on to them and don't let anyone walk over them. In this life you do not have to be afraid of death. Make your flag be justice, truth, firmness, God, goodness, sacrifice, joy ... Grow as a person and face situations with courage when they arise.
7) Lean on good self help books. You already know that these types of books abound in bookstores. You have to be able to choose good authors. I have found these books that are in the catalog of the public library of my city (that means they are good or relevant):
Playing with the heart: learn to live loving and loving each other without fearo / Melody Beattie (2000)
Live without fear / Rhonda Britten (2002)
Live without fear / Joan Corbella Roig (1990)
Without fear of living / Zibia Gasparetto; translation Joan Salvador (1997)
Without fear of dying: how to live as if today is the last day of your life / Joseph Sharp;
8) La religion or a good philosophical current can be a support to overcome fear. Buddhism, for example, teaches how to overcome suffering through meditation.
I have to come to fear
It will not take over my life, it was enough, no more ...
ooooooooooo go
Thank you very much
I believe that life must be taken without fear that is bad because whoever is afraid is afraid of everything in this life, thank you
Fear is my constant companion, everything in my life has been failure because I am always afraid of everything I try to lose, however I lost a large amount of money due to mismanagement and I am about to lose even my family and I am afraid of losing it. I always want to try to get ahead because of the lack of money, but the fear of another failure and having more debts does not let me act.
Hi Hernan
Thank you for sharing your experience, I know that everything you are experiencing must be very difficult. Fear can become very powerful and seriously interfere in our lives, I recommend you focus on the future and think about what you can do to get ahead, do not be mortified by the mistakes of the past, fight to do things better in the future, I know it is difficult but you must have patience and a lot of strength
animo
regards
calm is living in fear is not the solution ... if you care so much about your family ... it means that you have good feelings and that is what matters the support and love that you can give to them because if one feels that only money is happiness, maybe we should think that no, that what gives us happiness is a kiss, a hug, to be listening and to help everyone we can without receiving anything in return ...
GOOD MORNING YOU COULD TREAT A PEOPLE WITH OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER AND DRIVE PHOBIAS. THANK YOU
Hi, no, I am not a mental health professional. I recommend that you go to your GP and that he refer you to a psychiatrist.
Greetings.
I managed to overcome what I called "fear." I realized that it simply does not exist in the mind but it is not real. It is like a child who is afraid of the "monster in the closet" which we all know does not exist. The opposite of fear is courage. So I decided to become a super friend of courage and face those "wardrobe monsters." I kicked them, put my gaze on my faith and goodbye "bugs." Today, thanks to God, I have learned to live my life to the fullest, enjoying the good and the not so good.
Thank you very much for your testimony. Beautiful and inspiring words. Congratulations.
One of my main mottos is "live one day at a time." Tomorrow will bring its own eagerness. Live today and make sure you live every moment to the fullest. And do not be mortified by the one who will come tomorrow. The important day is today. Live without fear.
very good
Josue I am afraid of almost everything. To which they will say. To argue with people outside my family or to fight for what I want or have. I have problems with my neighbor who is loud I am afraid that my scream I want to overcome my fears but I can not
I think that if things were as simple as ... stop thinking about this and that thing ... it would be wonderful, but the truth is that it is not so, the thoughts crowd and when they are terrified they run in all directions then There is no way to quiet them, the mind becomes chaos and the body follows the mind, it becomes ill, decays and nobody understands it. You can say life is short, it is not worth living with fear, but believe me that it ends up being just a beautiful phrase when you are living in a nightmare. I hope that this article Living Without Fear has been useful to some, the one that may take advantage of it, h to the rest of us who desperately seek something to relieve us, do not feel that they are the only ones so misfits, because these tips do not serve me either, like this keep looking for something there will be for us somewhere.
Hello Sandra, obviously things are not so simple. Here I explain it better.
We have to equip ourselves with a series of strategies to mitigate that emotional pain or discomfort. These are just some ideas, but we have to keep fighting so that fear does not take over us.
It is a tough battle that must be fought, so the more strategies we have to deal with it, the better.
Thank you very much, I never thought you would answer me
Buddhism nothing to do talking to God directly
All my life I have been thinking about what they will say and I do not do anything that I want for fear of facing such situations in my life. I am 39 years old and I still live thinking about what my mother says that she is the one who thinks about everything. Thank you, many things that I read serve me but I do not practice them in their entirety.
I took away most of your fears with a little ...;) and affection, kisses
Since my mom passed away I have been afraid of EVERYTHING. I do not want to wake up. Sleeping is my only refuge. I don't like making noise. I don't want to see people or go out on the street. My neighbors are people with whom I have had problems 28 years of my life and now I am more afraid of them than ever. I have not really had confrontations with them anymore but I am afraid of them. Not even at home am I comfortable. I sweat cold and I don't feel happy about anything. I don't even want to take a bath, I'm scared all the time. I feel depressed and want to cry. I do not know what to do. Sometimes I think the best thing is to not be here anymore.
Hello Manuel, I invite you to go to your family doctor and explain what you have written here. I assure you that you will feel much better because you will seek an appropriate treatment for your problem.
Kind regards.
Are my fears of illness and death? own or my loved ones and family. My head hurts and I think I will have a stroke, my chest hurts and I think of a heart attack ... All fatal. And I already did all kinds of studies ... Are you sick? my son and I torment myself thinking the worst even though the doctor tells me that everything will be fine. If he goes out, I am also afraid that a thief will kill or hurt him, if he stays home alone I think about the gas leaks or the stoves… I can't help it and I am very afraid. Will I have to go to a psychologist? Live in fear? it's horrible… I got tachycardia, hypothyroidism and hypertension.
Fear was always present in my life almost for everything I do and I propose to make myself afraid to live for example ... But above all I panic about what may come in the future I am terrified to think about what may happen in the next few years. My life I don't know what to do anymore I feel trapped and fear of living is ruining my life fear of living alone fear of wanting to depend on myself ..
My neighbor on the landing hates us and has mental problems with psychopathy and anger control. He has threatened my partner and me with cutting our throats. Sometimes he even stops my mother to tell her. During the day the only ones in the building are him and me. There are complaints and the police are aware of it but they cannot do anything just because. What do you advise me?
Fear is something that catches you and we believe that there is no way out ... I have had panic attacks for 4 years and I am not the one I was ... but sometimes I think that I would not be fine doing my things when I got the attacks ... the suffering passes bill and it's hard but if you put the negative aside you can see things better .. I'm still struggling with anxiety but I'm not giving up kizas never leave or kizas yes .. but I prefer to go to her side than her ahead Mia ... I encourage you to see life differently because thinking all day about how to face it is hard but it can be done !!!!! Cheer up !!
What do you mean by sacrifice? .
I'm afraid of forever staring at a perfect screen and comparing it to my crappy life, I'm afraid that I won't be able to escape.
Hello, I am scared for anything but when my family is with me I feel very happy but I am alone again and the same thing happens
I have to the street because every time I go out I look at the world
