Fear
continued....
A danger requires our attention and respect. Danger can be experienced by replacing much of our fear with respect. There is an obvious danger in driving a vehicle, yet we do not need to be paralyzed in fear of this common activity. We can coach ourselves and our children to accept fear while understanding that fear is a choice. Danger may be a reality and not a choice in a particular moment, while fear is an energy based on a perspective or pattern of thoughts. Emotions of fear can be felt without allowing ourselves to make choices based solely in fear. We can teach our kids to be aware of when they are in fear mode and to discern the reality of their situation.
