Fear = False Evidence Appearing Real. Keep your chin up, you're doing it. Diversify your efforts in to more streams of income doing what you enjoy. Can't type, start a podcast or videocast or get dictation software. Don't limit your beliefs or believe your limiting beliefs. Action kills fear. You got this.

interesting post
thank for to sharing

when I feel some fear, it is always caused by uncertainties, one can not be sure to be alive tomorrow,  or to still have this established job, or to still have a family...on these cases, I soothe myself with that (and hope it will speak to you and help, my Lovelie) :
### "when nothing is certain, everything is possible"
and then i turn my thoughts in the direction of all the things I want to create as my life,  because i know the universe will reorganise to be all these things ....it really works , because it's quantic information and organisation ...don't let fear be your advisor 😘❤❤❤ @stellabelle

@stellabelle  You are like a diamond.  Lot's of facets.  You majored in Japanese in college?   That is really interesting.  
You have proven that you can hustle and were able to diversify with STEEM and DASH.  In an earlier post I remember you not getting a good feeling about Synereo.  Recently I was looking into that and I'm not impressed at this point.  
I feel like you will find a small handful of other projects to diversify into and will continue to thrive in cryptoland.

I love feeling vulnerable and going with it, it actually feels great. Sometimes people hear me say things that are hard to say and they are shocked that I can share such things but I smile because I have done it so many times that I am getting more and more used to it. Still not a pro and sometimes there are things that are hard to say because they should not be said. ;)

What a good post about the real truth about fear, which can kill a person if not dealt with. However you have to take on your fear ...
“Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself”: FDR's First Inaugural Address. This shows that even though to fear is human , we still have to face our fear and tackle it in order not to be destroyed by fear. Thanks for a good post @stellabelle , and  a very good piece of art work by @pitter-patter .. bless you all.

Fear is a part of our natural make up. It's only when we focus too much on fearful situations and ruminate on them that we unknowingly feed the fear cycle. The more attention we give to our fears the more fuel we are giving them. Blocking them out or distracting oneself from them wont get rid of them either.  We must allow the fear to flow with all of its terrifying possibilities while staying aware but not placing attention on anything. With time the energy behind the fear will diminish leaving the fearful thoughts neutral with no intense energy behind them.

Ugh, fear...!! You know I actually thought for most of my life that I didn't have fear. Ha haaa!! 

Until I moved to Berlin. This city has brought me to my knees and shown me all my fears. Luckily I'm on the other side now...

There are certain things in life that we have trouble explaining/healing from a rational scientific point of view. Fear is one of them, I believe. Fear's only purpose is to keep us alive in a life or death situation. It either makes us run, freeze or fight. For our life. 

In normal every day life it has no purpose, yet it's there. And even though a piece of news shouldn't trigger a flight or fight response, it makes us imagine worst case scenarios and puts our whole system on alarm. That's what makes us ill. 

I have no solutions for that on that level, that's why I can only deal with fear from a spiritual perspective - the duality of love and fear. I believe fear can only be "loved" away. 

That doesn't mean we have to enjoy or like the fear, it just means that we acknowledge it and give it a place. Mostly we try to avoid it and distract ourselves, but that makes it stick even more and clouds our thinking. We can't run away from it.

My experience is that reality is always much kinder than our fear wants to make us believe. Our fears put us in hell, while the world out there is beautiful. 

My new way of dealing with fear is to allow myself to feel it (this might be an old way for you or anyone else...). 

I literally sit down and say "*Anja, you're experiencing fear. This is what it feels like in your body.*" Last time I did this, the situation got "magically" resolved after I allowed myself to imagine the worst case scenario in detail. It was all in my head... 

And sometimes we just have off days. And a couple of days later our hormones or mood or whatever influences us are in balance again and we think about the same subject in a completely different and more relaxed way. 

Maybe it helps to remember that *you don't have to believe every single thought you have* :)

You know what dear, that fear and insecurity that you have is completely normal. That is mind of intelligent woman. It is labyrinth of thoughts and hopes which we create ourselves. When you are "free", before you get kids everything seems to be fun and challenging, new battles to conquer. The moment you give birth something rewires in brain and instead of excitement because of new things and uncertainty, like before, fear of future kicks in. I am on the same boat, so I understand you completely.

Irrational fear is familiar to me. Even in my early childhood, I was afraid that something would suddenly happen to the mother. Then frightened, it is necessary to stay with her husband.

I understand that everything can happen in life. But fear kills in advance: (

Sorry about your arm, hope you get better soon, you might have to dictate posts  to someone else :) !!awesome post though. I feel the same way. I like what EOS is doing. And that picture of the birds reminds me of having people depend on me, it's stressful haha. I would also much rather have a shell I could go in to hide from everyone. Best wishes stella, you were appreciated

Not to come from a place of judgment as I feel similar to you in this respect, but I feel your sense of fear of failure due to being financially propped up by one source is a good fear to have. I believe this fear will help keep you honest and over time help you to look for other ways to supplement that singular income. I believe you seem to be on the right path and by your posts alone I know you have to intelligence and work ethic to continue to succeed, as you already are. I personally felt a bit like the birds were going to eat the snail in the pictures above, as often happens in this kingdom of animals. I hope you continue with this sense of rational fear as it tends to be healthy and vigilant. As always, thank you for sharing @ stellabelle. Your posts often discuss topics that I myself do not think of often. So for that I want to sincerely thank you. This type of inclusion of ideas and topics we would not normally see in our lives is what makes Steemit so great. It brings us all together to learn and conversate with eachother, in the end making us all better humans. Cheers

Fear is terrible, it hits a man. If you are afraid of something, it's better not to do it. He hits a person so that you stop thinking right. At me always so. You have interesting posts, deep thoughts, thank you for this!

The thing is, everyone naturally experiences fear. But what separates a winner from the rest is that they control that fear. Good post @Stellabelle. I will now give you a follow :) And an upvote :)

Not that it will be much help for your break from computers but you could always use one of your device's speech to type features to create posts while resting your hands! :)

Here is a different perspective. The sensation of fear is cultivated over time through repetitive destructive thinking(which maybe an outcome of life events). When you break the cycle you disempower the fear associated with it.

Nice post, please follback n vote n comment @hadimemories, need your help upvote in my blog. Thanks

I completely like this one
really well done @stellabelle

I think that fear is keeping us sharp and ready to be a survival!

wow man

Feeling vulnerable and feeling fear is what makes us always alert, these feelings are born with life, if at any time of it you get it, only god can sebaer in what you become, are feelings of survival.
Beautiful work dear friend @stellabelle as everything you do
Have a great start to the week

Vulnerability would be no problem if there would be no assholes in the world.

Diversify into 10 or more "good" coins, after doing research, and then less to worry about from any one coin.  Also take some profit and bank it , if your investments have gone way up.

I am not an investment adviser, just shooting my mouth off, for entertainment purposes only! :P

I hope your arm feels better very soon!  We all need rest occasionally.  Wishing you all the best!

Whether this experience is experienced, Or short short stories!

Great post @stellabelle 
Fear is a concept we all have to deal with, sometimes it can be our weakness but i have also found it to be a strength on a number of occasions. On one occasion fear actually saved my life 
Great art work @pitterpatter I love it when you bless my photos with your magic touch :)

Very interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing. I've got one of those 8hr a day jobs on computer. So I understand wanting something different than that. I also understand carpal tunnel, my wrists started hurting while working 6 years ago. I immediately found the keyboard below and have bought one at every job I've been at in the last 6 years and currently have one in three offices. My wrists rate hurt now that I use it. I wouldn't offer advice if it hadn't worked so well for me because not using a computer for my job isn't an option. I hope it helps you. I made my sister order one when she bought a computer last year.

Thanks for sharing your post is very amazing  and interesting

And the opposite of vulnerability is cowardice...............So i braved up and post twice or 4 times per day for 3 months here now

Hello @stellabelle, First gratz on stopping drinking *thumbs up* 
I don't want to give advice just share what I do OK :)
What I do when I get scared of whatever, I tell my self :
Everything is fine right now in this moment, isn't it ?
This moment are the keywords.
I try to stay in the moment and not worry about stuff that is in the future.
I fail a lot LOL but that is OK, there are also many moments that I was in fear that I managed to change arround.
Sometimes I also strongly start to focus on something else and once in a while I tell my fear OK come and get me .... that sometimes helps aswell.
That is the Vulnerability you speak of I think :)

I had a social phobia for 15 years so I know what fear is :)

I hope your arm will heal soon *hugs*

The opposite of fear is LOVE. 
Be FEARLESS, Choose LOVE!

Fear is dream killer, we  should not let fear control our lives. Find your passion(s) and follow it   fearlessly.

Hi @stellabelle, congratulations on quitting drinking!  Good job!

Thanks for this nice article, I found it interesting.

I have the same feelings, looking at the right pic. Bird babies making me nervous lols...

 > We have learned some very bad ways of living in the past: 401Ks, pensions, salaries, mortgages, "stable jobs", etc. All of these things are actually bad for our creative minds.

Well said. Completely agree with that 

 > right now I have carpal tunnel in my left arm, and despite this I am still writing. It has affected my entire arm, and I will be taking some time off the computer soon to let it heal.

take your time off and get well soon!
