Step this way to freedom from fear

I thought these steps really helps to get freedom from fear: 
  1. Do the thing you are afraid to do, and the death of fear is certain.  Say to yourself and mean it, “I am going to master this fear,” and you will.
  2. Fear is a negative thought in your mind.  Supplant it with a constructive thought.  Fear has killed millions.  Confidence is greater than fear.  Nothing is more powerful than faith in God and the good.
  3. Fear is man’s greatest enemy.  It is behind failure, sickness, and bad human relations.  Love casts out fear.  Love is an emotional attachment to the good things of life.  Fall in love with honesty, integrity, justice, good will, and success.  Live in the joyous expectancy of the best, and invariably the best will come to you.
  4. Counteract the fear suggestions with the opposite, such as “I sing beautifully; I am poised, serene, and calm.” It will pay fabulous dividends.
  5. Fear is behind anmesia at oral and written examination time.  You can overcome this by affirming frequently, “I have a perfect memory for everthing I need to know,” or you can imagine a friend congratulating you on your brilliant success on the examination.  Persevere and you will win.
  6. If you are afraid to cross water, swim.  In your imagination swim freely, and joyously.  Project yourself into the water mentally.  Fell the chill and  thrill of swimming across the pool.  Make it vivid.   As you do this subjectively, you will be compelled to go into the water and conquer it. This is the low of your mind.
  7. If you  are afraid of closed places, such as clevators, lecture halls, etc., mentally ride in an elevator blessing all its parts and functions.  You will be amazed how quickly the fear will be dissipated.
  8. You were born with only two fears, the fear of falling and the fear of noise.  All your other fears were acquired.  Get rid of them.
  9. Normal fear is good.  Abnormal fear is very bad and destructive.  To constantly indulge in fear thoughts results in abnormal fear, obsessions, and complexes.  To fear something persistently causes a sense of panic and terror.
  10. You can overcome abnormal fear when you know the power of your subconscious mind can change conditions and bring to pass the cherished desires of your heart.  Give your immediate attention and devotion to your desire which is the opposite of your fear.  This is the love that casts out fear.
  11. If you are afraid of failure, give attention to success.  If you are afraid of sickness, dwell on your perfect health.  If you are afraid of an accident, dwell on the guidance and protection of God.  If you are afraid of death, dwell on Eternal Life.  God is Life, and that is your life now.
  12. The great low of substitution is the answer to fear.  Whatever you fear has its solution in the form of your desire.  If you are sick, you desire health.  If you are in the prison of fear, you desire freedom.  Expect the good.  Mentally concentrate on the good, and know that your subconscious mind answers you always.  It never fails.
  13. The things you fear do not really exist except as thoughts in your mind.  Thoughts are creative.  This is why job said; the thing I feared has come upon me.  Think good and good follows.
  14. Look at your fears; hold them up to the light of reason.  Learn to laugh at your fears.  That is the best medicine.
Nothing can disturb you but your own thought.  The suggestions, statements, or threats of other persons have no power.  The power is within you, and when your thoughts are focused on that which is good, then God’s power is with your thoughts of good.  There is only one Creative Power, and it moves asharmony.  There are no divisions of quarrels in it.  Its source is Love.  This is why God’s power is with our thoughts of good.
