Fear-based thinking

When is the last time you had a fear-based thought? Noticing when fear drives our thoughts can help us to have agency in our lives. This is because many times we think, feel and act as if we were under threat. The threat could be one of illness, rejection, poverty, judgment, or of violence. The list is long. If you want to improve your emotional, psychological, spiritual, and physical safety, you can explore what is and what is not dangerous to you.
The article below shares Buddhist perspectives. One writer suggests that simply sitting alone can be an opportunity to learn about your fears.
