If I might add my two cents, I've found that whatever it is, fear, resistance, etc - just making friends with it, welcoming it, acknowledging it, accepting, feeling it - and then doing what you have to do. That works best for me. Trying to fight your resistance and your fears is another form of self violence. Just my opinion ;) Cheers, Albert | <a href="http://www.urbanmonk.net" rel="nofollow">UrbanMonk.Net</a> Modern personal development, entwined with ancient spirituality. Very nice post.

If only people would realize that feelings are triggered by thoughts. That includes feelings of worry and fear, as well as feelings of joy, peace, and happiness. You talk about willpower. The imagination is a million times more powerful than willpower. So all one really needs to control their feelings is to use their imagination. And all one really needs to cure their fears is their imagination. Start now by anchoring memories of pleasant times when you were happy, peaceful and safe, or by using your imagination to create a fantasy of being happy, peaceful and safe, and anchor those feelings. While you are in that positive memory feeling those positive feelings, or while you are in that fantasy experiencing those positive feelings, you can create a kinesthetic anchor by touching the tip of your index finger to the tip of your thumb and making a little "OK" sign with your fingers. In other words, by touching your two fingers together while you are creating those good feelings, your unconscious mind will create an association between those feelings and the touch of your two fingers. Thereafter, you can trigger the good feelings just by touching the two fingers together. You do this to get these positive thoughts and feelings at your fingertips and ready in advance. Each time that you find your persistent thoughts taking you to a negative place, or making you feel a negative emotion, intentionally change your thoughts to to those positive thoughts by triggering your anchor - trigger the anchor by touching the fingers together In very short order you will create a conditioned response. The negative thoughts will actually start to trigger the positive thoughts. This puts you in control of your feelings. These are well known NLP techniques. There are others that are even more powerful for eliminating fears and phobias - like the NLP V/K Disassociation technique. I could go on. But by now hopefully you will see that if you are great at making yourself experience bad feelings by thinking negative thoughts, you will be just as great at making yourself feel great by intentionally thinking positive thoughts.
