realizing fear is one of the two lowest emotions has been immensely helpful to me not that its a bad or negative thing but that it literally exists in the oldest lowest part of the brain the lizard part that runs our fightflight response recognizing this and acknowledging the value of fear and anger to our human bodies doesnt stop me feeling fear but stops me being afraid of being afraid nothing should be feared especially fear itself the saying should go  now when i feel overwhelmed by anxiety or depression i sit down breathe in white light and push out all the dark of those lesser emotions sending them back to the light to be cleansed and made new and useful i still get to feeling helpless a lot but i always feel rejuvenated after directly acknowledging it and consciously envisioning those feelings being pushed out of me and replaced by the brilliant white light of love
