Deep dives
Fear as a Habit
Fear is a habit that many people rely on to keep themselves safe, although 99.9% of what we call fear is actually worry. Our biology gives us an awareness of real and present danger, but most of the fear we experience is scaring ourselves with imaginary futures. While this habit may have been helpful in early childhood, by the age of three or five, our brains have developed enough to understand cause and effect and foresee consequences. Recognizing that fear is a habit allows us to realize that we don't have to be afraid to be safe.
