Fear = False Evidence Appearing Real

 

Watch this guru's video (96 seconds) to learn how we are gripped by fear... and how we can dispel it.

Hint: our overactive imagination tends to create negative future possibilities that don't exist, or we will mis-remember something from our past, shackling us to a negatively dominating interpretation of an event that already occurred.

Here are some more helpful fear acronyms:

F.E.A.R. = Forget Everything and Run
F.E.A.R. = Fighting Ego Against Reality
F.E.A.R. = Forgetting Everything's All Right
F.E.A.R. = For Everything A Reason
F.E.A.R. = Frustration, Ego, Anxiety, Resentment
F.E.A.R. = Fearing Everything's Awful Real
F.E.A.R. = Finding Excuses And Reasons
F.E.A.R. = Frantic Effort to Avoid Reality
F.E.A.R. = Forever Escaping And Retreating*
F.E.A.R. = Fools Every Alcoholic Repeatedly*

*Popular with A.A.

So the good news is if we're loving in the moment, we're not fearing. All we have to do is be in charge of our thoughts (made easier with yoga and meditation) and keep love alive inside of us.
