正視恐懼

當恐懼在你的生活中發生時,你應該檢視恐懼的性質。這並非問一些關於恐懼的邏輯問題:「我為什麼會害怕?」「我恐懼的原因是什麼?」而是去正視發生在你身上的恐懼或驚慌之狀態;只要正視它即可。我們總能找到為什麼會害怕的好理由,但在此,與其對恐懼採取分析的途徑,你應只是直接照看你的恐懼。

Looking at Fear

When fear occurs in your life, you should examine the nature of fear. This is not based on asking logical questions about fear: “Why am I afraid?” “What is the cause of my fear?” It is simply looking at the state of fear or panic that is taking place in you. Just look at it. We can always find good reasons to be afraid. But in this case, rather than taking an analytical approach to fear, you should just look at your fear directly.
