I don't think I have ever felt actual fear. Anxiety, yes. When that comes up, I try to just sit with it. More often that simply noticing and observing it, I often spent some time poking at it to figure out what it is, where it is coming from, if there is anything that I can do to abate it. For me, this often comes in affirmations to myself-- I am enough. I am strong. I have everything that I need within me.
