2. Most of our fears never come true.

3. Of course, this nifty truism doesn't
keep those imaginary fears from
keeping us stuck!

4. One thing that can help is some
mental "timeline" tricks.

5. For example, it's pretty easy to get
stuck in the "here and now" when
thinking about most stuff.

6. But as humans, (and not instinct-
driven animals) it's our job to use our
brains to our highest capacity.

7. One way to do that is look at things
from different viewpoints, from a time
perspective.

8. For example, it can help to think
beyond a time in the future when
something particularly nerve wracking
is coming up.

9. If you've got an important meeting
Friday afternoon, for example, you can
lessen the anxiety by focusing on what
kind of delicious meal you'll be eating
Saturday night.

10. If you don't have enough juice left to
do ten more sit-ups, you might
imagine yourself a month or two in the
future when all the sexy people are
admiring your six pack.

11. If you just can't study for one more
second, imagining the good feeling
when you ace your exams may give
you the extra push you need.

12. Another way to lessen the effect of our
"imaginary" fears is to simply embrace
them.

13. Close your eyes, and imagine the worst
possible thing that you can imagine.

14. Then fully accept it.

15. Embrace it.

16. Feel all those feelings that would
happen, and the energy underneath
them.

17. Then imagine what you'd do next, and
then after that, and after that.

18. If you do this enough, you can lessen
any inhibitions that the fear creates.

19. While this is pretty good for specific
fears, like asking for a raise, or asking
for a phone number, here's a way to
"go meta."

20. Do this when you've got some alone
time, to sit and contemplate.

21. Take a deep breath, and close your
eyes.

22. Then imagine the most horrible thing
you can, from the perspective of
where you are in your life.

23. Your boss fires you, you become
homeless, your true love leaves you,
whatever.

24. Don't worry, this is just a quick mind
experiment!

25. Then fully embrace that situation.

26. Then take a step back, and instead of
looking at things a couple years down
the road, look at things from the
perspective of your highest, most
eternal self.

27. That self that exists beyond time,
beyond space, beyond the physical
body you're currently occupying.

28. See this "horrible disaster" as one
small speck of experience in a sea of
infinite possibility.

29. Of infinite expanding and knowing.

30. Kind of weird (and potentially scary)
the first couple of times, but if you
practice a few times a week, for only a
couple minutes each time, you may
notice some pretty cool changes in
your life.

31. More peace, less fear, more emotional
openness.

32. Give it a try.
