Have you ever heard the voice of fear in your head? It can nag, distract, exhaust, overwhelm, even paralyze.

But here’s the key: fear can affect us only when two things happen: it stays in our head— and we stay there with it. To decrease its effect, we just need to get out of our head, and do something about the thing we fear.

We don’t have to take giant, risky leaps where the stakes are high. We can start with small, simple steps where the stakes are low. Yet the gain can be great: we may discover that much of our fear was imaginary.

The Bhagavad Gita (18.35) explains that fearful imagination feeds on ignorance. When we act, the imagination about what may happen is replaced by information about what actually happened— and we realize the catastrophe we dreaded never actually happens.

So let’s not wait for fear to go out of our head. Let’s step out of our head, and fear will gradually go away too.
