Right now, you need to: Either, stop resisting and let yourself feel the fear-- without judgment--as the first step in preparing to discover what it is all about for you and what you want to do: or

Shift your attention into a more positive direction using deep breathing, meditation and positive affirmation. Either choice will help you relax and cease struggling. But bear in mind that emotional healing requires that the feelings be felt as part of the process of clearing and resolution. That moment cannot be put off forever. When you allow yourself to feel without judgment you have moved into the Now and a very large portion of the emotional charge will be released immediately. Then, once you've relaxed, you can use the exercises in this workbook to explore the specific fear and deal with it. Be alert to your own resistance.

The first thing to change is those thoughts.

This workbook is intended to assist you in facing your fear and handling it in the most positive way. The exercises can be used again and again in varying circumstances.

It is inner change which preceeds outer changes in your life. Begin the exercises. They will help you regardless of what you believe to be the cause of your distress.
