Favorite Fears

Seed: Favorite Fears
When I first saw these two words together, I laughed out loud. Why would anyone have fears that they favor? Then, as so often happens, the moment I judged those anyones, what happened to me? I began to see how I have favorite fears of my own.
Mine are historically body-centered. Living in a body is fearful for me. Ouch. Others I noticed were fears of heights, driving, being ill (and being well). In time, I began to see that others had favorite fears: fear of being taken advantage of, fear of feeling like a victim, fear of feelings at all!
So what’s to do with our favorite fears? Well, what do we do with our favorite … anything? We take care of the things we favor. We do what it takes to keep our favorites in working order. We save our favorites in our computers.
Fears diminish when we pay attention to them. That’s all they’re asking for, anyway.
Be joy,
Susan Corso
