This is a wonderful guide. Facing our fear is hard to do. It’s a problem we can’t solve if we are not brave enough to face it. But it is worth trying if it means eliminating it.

Your question approach to dissolving fears assumes that logic can over rule emotions. My experience is that when people are in an emotional state their logic is driven by their emotions.

I’m doubtful of using logic to overcome a fear of flying. There is a life or death instinct in that case that is more primal than the logical mind is able to address.

That’s my brief logical analysis.

Dave, I think that in some cases fears can be a positive thing. Like when you need the adrenaline rush to escape danger. It’s the irrational fears that ava mentions that are more of a problem. So our job (by asking ourselves the right questions) is to bring to understanding the fact that the worst case scenarios of our fears are really not that bad. A good way to do that is to determine and focus on the positive outcomes.

We fear when we have a lot to lose. Otherwise, our fears are irrational. If the benefit of the better outcome of a potentially life-changing(i.e. a change in careers, a divorce…etc) decision gives one enough incentive to actually go through with it, then, if that outcome is achieved, it is the most rewarding. We cherish that which is most difficult to attain, and if we overcome a fear in the process, then more than likely, we will remember this in the future.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I believe that fears are just hindrance and can easily be overcome by a strong and solid decision making.

I would say any fear that is holding you back from living a happy and fulfilled life is worth overcoming.

What if some fears are better not overcome? Isn’t that the tough question – whether a fear is worth overcoming or not?
