What purpose does fear serve?

Fear is a product of what you learned when you were little. Even if you think that some of the fears your parents had were silly, you still harbor the fear inside you. Fear is the mind's way of keeping you safe, but the mind will apply this response to everything that it perceives to have an unpleasant outcome. Even if there is more of a chance that a positive outcome will occur.  Everyone experiences this everyday fear.  Some of us take it as rational notions rather than just a response from our brain, a reaction, We do not take the time to analyze the fear or idea of fear. We allow our brain to call the shot when often the fear is an overly cautious fear that keeps us from doing things we want to do. 

In this episode, I discuss irrational fear and the 5 steps I take to heal and move beyond fear.
