It's one thing to understand fear, it's another to know how to eradicate it from your life. Becoming Fearless is a practice, based on the principles of peace of mind. Once this practice is undertaken, it easy to release fear and become confident, clear and constructive, no matter what is going on.

Some think that fear keeps them safe, on guard against danger. But the opposite is true. Fear confuses our minds, lowers our immune system and undermines our relationships. Being in the grip of fear is like being stung by a serpent.

The first thing to understand is that you can make better judgments, take constructive action and increase your safety when you release fear from your life.

There are many steps on the path to Becoming Fearless. the first is to know that fear is a liar. When you do not believe the false messages it brings you, do not give in to the catastrophic expectations it creates, fear weakens and melts away.

When fear assaults you with a negative message, stop, look it in the eye and refuse to believe what it is saying. This will take its power away. Fear takes its strength from your belief in it. Instead of believing in the power of fear, why not believe in the power of truth?
