About this ebook

The way out of fear is not in believing that nothing unpleasant would happen, or in trying to control your environment or people around you in order to avoid challenges. The way out of fear is in building confidence that you can cope with whatever life might bring to your door – and that means knowing that you will remain true to yourself and support yourself no matter what happens.

Most people have some form of fear of physical pain and discomfort. However, it is far more common to fear our own emotions. Fear of shame, humiliation, abandonment, guilt, even fear of fear... can motivate people to immature reactions (or withdrawal) way more often than "simple" fear of physical hurt. Some people will risk hurt and death (or will agree to hurt other people) rather than being scorned by those around them.

With this program, you can explore the causes and consequences of your fears and then focus on changing your patterns, building different perspectives and a more positive approach to life. With continuous work, you can achieve significant relief and changes in your emotional patterns. This program can improve the quality of your life whether your fears are mild and rather common, or if your fears cause you problems.

    Resolve Fear Workbook - Kosjenka Muk

    Introduction

    The world we live in and our human society are complex and unpredictable. As fear is often the earliest emotion a baby experiences, it shapes our worldviews and is a part of our daily lives. This is natural, but some people might feel controlled by their fears, unable to change and be more proactive. In such a case, it's likely that your caretakers did not adequately help you deal with fear when you were a child, or perhaps they were full of fear and expressed it in dramatic ways.

    With this program, you can explore the causes and consequences of your fears, and then focus on changing your patterns, building different perspectives and a more positive approach to life. With continuous work, you can achieve significant relief and changes in your emotional patterns. This program can improve the quality of your life whether your fears are mild and rather common, or if your fears cause you problems.

    To achieve an optimal success with this program, it is crucial to repeat the exercises regularly. Our subconscious minds contain emotional and mental habits that were enforced for decades, and are often based on early childhood experiences and interpretations. Such deeply ingrained habits are not likely to change if you only exercise occasionally. Therefore I recommend that you apply this program regularly through a longer period of time.

    What do we fear?

    The way out of fear is not in believing that nothing unpleasant would happen, or in trying to control your environment or people around you in order to avoid challenges. The way out of fear is in building confidence that you can cope with whatever life might bring to your door – and that means knowing that you will remain true to yourself and support yourself no matter what happens.

    Most people have some form of fear of physical pain and discomfort. However, it is far more common to fear our own emotions. Fear of shame, humiliation, abandonment, guilt, even fear of fear... can motivate people to brash and immature reactions (or withdrawal) way more often than simple fear of physical hurt. Worse, many times people will risk hurt and death (or will agree to hurt other people) rather than being scorned by their peers.

    Often these two types of fear are intertwined: even if we might believe that we fear poverty, disease or injury, embedded in those fears is also fear of all the social and emotional consequences of such events. If we lose our jobs or even our houses, we might experience social rejection, isolation and shame. If we become sick or physically disabled, we can expect to feel dependent, inadequate and perhaps guilty of burdening other people whose help we would need. Even if we would not be exposed to outright rejection, criticism and ridicule, in such circumstances we are likely to receive much less genuine attention, friendliness and respect - we are likely to feel abandoned and unimportant. These feelings might be a real object of fear rather than physical discomfort itself.

    We evolved as social animals, which means that one important purpose of unpleasant emotions is to encourage group cohesion. Our status within our group and peer pressure are therefore important
