What comes first in mind when we hear word ‘FEAR’? 

Negative Emotion ! 

Let me tell you that fear also has positive aspect to it. Fear is an human emotion that can help  protect you from danger and prepare you to take action but if it last for long it can lead to  anxiety.  

FEAR CAN BE DEFINED AS :- 

False  

Evidence  

Appearing 

Real. 

Our fears are in fact irritational beliefs that we have about ourselves, our actions, objects,  other people or events. These fears only appear to be real within the recesses of our minds.  However, they have no basis in reality. They are made up interpretations that we make about  things within the physical world.  

Just think — Why one person is afraid of spiders while another person confidently handles  them in palm of their hand.  

IS THE SPIDER THAT GIVES LIFE TO THIS FEAR ? 

OR 

IS IT AN INTERPRETATION THAT IS MADE WITHIN THE MIND OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO SEES  THE SPIDER ? 

Fear is nothing but the uncertainty we feel about the outcomes, circumstances & about the  unpredictability of future events. We don’t want to touch the spider because of the  uncertainty that it might actually harm us.
