My worst fears generate a feeling of utter desperation and gloominess. The mind is overcome with negative thoughts, clear thought is impossible and it is hard to see anything in a positive light. The heart is overcome by fear and loneliness. The body tightens and breathing becomes harder. Anger leads to aggression, misunderstandings and communication gaps. Words are chosen to reflect my anxiety and expression become incoherent, making it harder to ask for and get help. It becomes practically impossible to see a different point of view.
All other negative reactions in the body (not related to my worst fears) are low hanging fruit. Taking care of the low hanging fruit through equanimity, builds confidence and self-esteem, increasing my energy, focus and determination to work on my worst fears.
The next milestone is to help others who are facing their worst fears.
