on practicing! However there's one issue that doesn't seem to be

improving as fast as I'd like. It has to do with fear. Why do we have

to feel fear? I wasn't a very fearful person growing up, probably in

part due to inexperience and a huge inability to grasp the reality of

the dangers around me. As I aged, experiences I went through, many

times bad and painful, changed that. Now I feel fear often - fear of

losing people I love, fear of being hurt, fear of starting new

things, fear of the idea of being alive and in this world (I mean,

it's a weird thing being here , not knowing for sure why and how!).

> I am not totally paralized by fear in my normal life but I do end

up avoiding doing some things due to fear. I admire people who

have the courage of doing things I find scary but still worth doing,

and I would like to be more like that. Also feeling afraid of things

that didn't happen yet and may never happen doesn't make sense so I

would like to be able to not live like that.

> I guess my question is in part why do we have to feel fear, but

also if there are general tips/ideas, and also a specific exercise

to overcome it or or reduce it. I do a few navel exercises that are

said to be helpful, but I wouldn't mind adding some other exercise

or meditation, maybe something somebody here found very effective.
