In the right place

‘Our feelings are a barometer of our thoughts.’ Sydney Banks – Missing Link
You see, our feelings are not something to get rid of. To avoid, but something to understand. Our feelings are making us aware of what we are thinking, and believe to be true.
An alternative approach to overcoming fear could be understanding fear.
If you can understand your feelings are alerting you to what thoughts you believe to be true; understanding the nature of thought ,you then understand that thought cannot hurt you. You are merely experiencing the feeling of those thoughts, and once you understand what a thought is when you understand you don’t have to run away from your feelings you can embrace fear. Because it can’t hurt you!
In embracing your fear, you’re able to take control of your life in a way, you had never considered before. So, in overcoming your fear it’s about understanding your thinking behind the feeling.
