When I experience fear 99.9% of the time it is the 'what if' type of fear. I spent a lot of time looking for ways to handle this and I settled upon 2 methods. (EFT) Emotional Freedom Technique and turning the fearful what if questions into positive what if questions. For instance if I am thinking, 'what if I can't handle this new job.' As soon as I catch the thought I switch it to 'what if I turned out to be really good at this job,' and then that thought leads to, 'what if I became the most productive employee this company has ever had.' Doing so always lifts my mood and makes me smile, its a real vibration booster. .-= Carol King´s last amazing blog post ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LawOfAttractionAintEasy/~3/hxhKpFmeF8g/where-do-law-of-attraction-blogs-go-to.html" rel="nofollow">Where Do Law of Attraction Blogs Go To Die?</a> =-.

Until now, I had never really correlated insecurity with the fear of being judged to this degree. But you nailed this and put it in a way that anyone can relate too. Incredibly insightful John, thanks.

I’d like to dust the invisible elephant in the room with chalk so his outline stands out. This elephantine beast is called “fear of judgment”, and it is for sure the biggest, most destructive fear of all. What do I mean by fear of judgment, and why is it the biggie of biggies? First some homework. Try imagining your life from birth to death has absolutely no value, point or purpose. You’re nothing but an accident of chemistry waiting to be washed away by the rain. Soon your life will be over and you may as well never have been born. Meditate on that for a while until you feel absolutely worthless. O.K….that’s enough. No need to ruin the holidays. But here’s the thing. Not one of us wants to really and truly feel like our lives are worthless. It’s such a painful state of mind, people who come to that sad conclusion often end their lives. Thankfully, most of us don’t get that beaten down . But not because everything everywhere isn’t judging our value or worth. In today’s world, richest, strongest, smartest or best at anything are “winners” for example. And what about second, third or last best? We’re “losers”. Make no mistake either. Every man woman and child is looking at you right now and judging your worth as a human being. So what do you think that does to us? It makes us fear being judged above all things, keeping our authentic true-blue souls locked up in their shells. How come? Who wants to come out….only to find we have little worth? Not me. Not anyone I know either. So what happens to you or I if we’re afraid to “come out”? We never know who we are or what to do with our lives. We miss the life we were put here to have. If that doesn’t sound too bad, chances are you don’t know what you’re missing. And….. as we speak…. There are millions of men and women hiding in their shells, living mere shadows of lives. That’s why fear of being judged is the Mother of all fears. It takes life just as certainly as guns or bombs. There’s a simple way to get rid of this fear, but that’s another story for another day.

To me, you epitomize all those good things. We've talked about it before, and I know that neither of us watches the news (or any TV broadcasts for that matter). That's a hard concept for many to grasp, but I know that all we are missing is a steady dose of sensationalized propaganda designed to instill fear and insecurity. Thanks for being such an inspiration Robin. Hi Robin, all those things that you fill your life with, you also radiate. To me, you epitomize all those good things.
