What Fears Have You Mastered?
Sometimes it's nice to look at the glass half full rather than half empty.
Here are a few of the fears I have mastered.
Fear of going to hell (taught by the Christian church)
Fear of sinning (taught by the Christian church)
Fear of being a single parent, mainly jobless and losing my kids (kids are raised).
Fear of World War III or an apocalypse (what will be will be)
Fear of death
Fear of growing old (I'm there )
Fear of rejection (I prefer to be alone a lot)
Fear of Y2K (yep, I was one of 'em)
I know there are more, I just can't think of them right now. I'll add more later.
Wow! This makes me feel so empowered.

This is a good one....I never really thought about what I fear exactly. Thinks.... I have overcome my fear of people and my fear of social rejection the two were not intertwined.
Fears I have yet to overcome....fear of roaches and walking through the house barefoot in the dark lol.

I had several true phobias that I was able to change: thunder, lightening (yes, two different ones), and spiders. Completely changed my flight or flight reaction to these things.
For those interested in how, I had one hypnotherapy session for each one. Best hypnotherapist in the world, my friend is.

I don't think i've ever mastered anything. More like i became more relaxed and calm in the mist of fear. But the fear was still present.
I guess there are some fears that we naturally grow out of though.

I have a totally irrational fear of roaches the kind that would cause me to run into on coming traffic. Over the years I have gotten a little better, but they still make me physically sick. In Fl. We have what are called Palmetto bugs which look like roaches and they fly and they are big and they bite. These send me for the hills.

Scientists have proven that a lot of fears and phobias that we have come from our Ancestors and are carried in our DNA...
It's a fascinating subject and for anyone who is interested there is lots of info: out there.

Nitpick or curious to what process she used to feel better in her own life. Your choice of judgment not mine

I just put them on Ignore. But thank you.
Regarding your information on fears being in our DNA that is interesting. I'll have to look that up. That means I have the same fears as my parents did.

It's amazing how we pick family lines that will help us accomplish what we came here to learn.
I'd say I had a good fit with my family in this lifetime.
