How to Tame Fear Through the Law of Attraction

Can fear affect your desires when applying the Law of Attraction? You bet it can. Fear can be paralyzing when attaining what you desire if you're not careful. And of course, fear can be debilitating in anything you do.

What is the purpose of fear? Fear can help you out when you are in a 'do or die' type of situation. It can encourage us to be more cautious and is a way of protecting ourselves. But our survival self, the one that tells us when to be cautious, can be overprotective at times. You are ultimately the one to decipher whether what you are afraid of is coming from your survival self and is a validated concern, or is merely weighing in and making its presence known, like so many other negative states, just because it can. The Law of Attraction will pick up on fearful thoughts and feelings and return more to be fearful of. Let's tame the fear monster ahead of time so that the Law of Attraction will bring only positive results to your life.

Here's how to be rid of the fear, or at least tame it, in order to obtain what you want out of life.

Let's begin by focusing on exactly what you are truly afraid of. Is your fear validated? An example: Imagine you are preparing to jump out of an airplane minus a parachute. In this instance, is your fear validated by your survival self? Obviously, yes it is. Your survival self is telling you this is something to fear, and hopes that you won't do it. The fear and caution are valid.

Now what about this one? You are about to start a new job and you are afraid that no one will like you and that you may do a bad job. Is this fear valid? Well, sure the new job could go as you see it and if you have been putting a lot of energy toward the new job this way, it probably will go that way. But is it really something to be afraid of? Does it threaten your physical being? See, your survival self is rearing its ugly head where it doesn't belong and you need to tell it so. When you start to have the feeling of fear, make sure to examine it and see if it is a valid physical fear.

Now that you have figured out what to do (telling your survival self that you are handling this one, thank you very much...), how do you cease being fearful? First of all, within the Law of Attraction, anything that you focus on and feel, be it a happy or angry feeling, will attract a like feeling to you. This is the job of the Law of Attraction. It's not being mean or vindictive toward you; the Law of Attraction is just taking what you tell it to do, and then brings it to you. Focus on what you don't want, and you will get what you don't want. Focus on what you do want, and, you guessed it, you will get what you want. Fear begets fear. Joy begets joy. Love begets love, and the Universe will give you what you feel.

How does fear serve you? Being afraid of something makes whatever that something is seem ominous or scary. What is there to be afraid of? Do you base your fear from past experiences? If that is the case, you have learned from those experiences and don't need them or the fear anymore. Are you afraid of being hurt? Isn't it better to take the risk and find out? What if that one person or that one situation you are afraid of is the one that is going to be beautiful and life altering and you may instead pass up because of fear. Beat fear at its own game. Don't buy into it.

Handle your fear by asking if it is valid or not. If it is a valid fear, listen to it. But when it's based on past experiences where you have been hurt or based on your own concern of failure, tell the survival self that you have to take the risk and do it anyway. The survival self will step back (it may take a few times), and you can trust the Universe that you will obtain what you want. As long as you keep your eye on your desired goal and trust the Universe to get you there, than there should be no fear, especially if you place your trust and faith in the Law of Attraction.
