Let Go of Your Fears by Memorizing This Formula
We are all afraid of something, be it snakes, rejection or a boar attack. The Invisibilia NPR podcast talks about why we are afraid of something, how we deal with it, and, in the end, offers a formula to remember the next time you are afraid to do something.
Invisibilia describes the myriad reasons why we have fear, before ultimately settling on the story of Jason Comley, who is struggling with a rather intense fear of rejection . He came up with a small, simple formula to help him deal with his fear:
Fear = Thinking + Time. Take away one of these things, thinking or time, and you cannot get rid of the fear.
Obviously, this is not a reliable magic formula that will help you overcome everything , but it is a great reminder when you find yourself gripping with fear. Check out the entire Invisibilia podcast for more information.
