How to overcome fear of an intruder in your house?

Q: Whenever I am home alone, I am terrified of coming inside and going in different rooms because I fear there is an intruder inside waiting. Nothing has ever happened, but it’s just I have seen alot of true stories on television about it, I try to tell myself that it won’t happen to me, I don’t have any enemies, but I still cannot get over my fear. Any ideas to overcome this?

A: Well, im a Powerlifter at national level and I can say I would do the same at times funny as it may sound. But I always go back to when a specialist said to me that a deviate person hiding in the dark or room where ever it maybe is ten times more afraid of you especially if you confront them front on. So what I do now, I just go into the rooms and check under the bed or closet and check where ever you feel there could be someone. Be prepared for the worst, after there is know one there you can relax. Now, if anything happens, you just have to relax and go with the flow as one could have a gun or a knife. Carry a key between you fingers for hitting. Maybe you could take a few lessons in defense to give a little confidence as well. Fear is a big thing, but to beat it we must face it. Find more company to be with. Good luck

How do you overcome your fear of many things?

Q: Okay. So I was watching tv, and it came to my mind, “you must defeat your reason before you can start living like….” So I thought, my reason for not swimming in ice cold water is because it is cold, I will be sick, I’m scared, and more. If I can just ignore these fears, and just dip into the water, without reason(reason will prevent me) I will overcome my fear. So with that said, would it also be correct to say that being temporarily unreasonable(lack of reason) will assure me a greater life in terms of excitement and depth?

A: “Look up, I am with you…” Those are the words of God…..

How do you overcome your fear?

Q: If you have been physically, sexually and emotionally abused then is there a way that you can overcome your fear of men? I mean I am 24 and I have never been in a proper relationship because I fear these things happening to me again. If I stay this way then I will never get into a relationship will I. I just want to feel safe and not have to worry if it will happen again.

A: One of the things that I have found to be common in so many people is fear. Fear is something that cripples people and keeps them from pursuing and reaching their dreams. This does not have to be so! I truly believe that a person does not have to have fear in their life. I can honestly say that I do not have any fear in my life. Now, I am not perfect by any means but fear is not something I have because I have dealt with it. The main reason I do not have fear is because I have come to grips with the concepts surrounding fear. I have understood fear, primarily from two angles. The first angle is psychologically and the second angle is theologically. You see, I think that if we address the issues of life and the fears we experience from both a good understanding of psychology and theology, then I believe we can be free from fear. Psychology is the study of the mind and that is where most of our fears take place. Theology is the understanding of God and the world we live in as it relates to God and what takes place in this world. I know from personal experience, that as we settle just a few basic issues, we can be free from fear. A few weeks ago I spoke to a group on fear and here are a few of the insights I gave them on how they can get over their fears and get on with their lives. Look and see how each one of these principles fits either psychology or theology. Disciplining your thoughts. Fear is an action of the mind. Fear is a use, or better said, misuse, of the imagination. In reality, when you fear something, you are simply choosing to imagine a future happening. You are fearful that your spouse will divorce you (future), or that the snake will bite you (future – it hasn’t yet), or that you will lose your job (future – you still have it). So when we fear, we are simply letting our minds imagine a bad future. That is what fear is! Imagining a bad future. So what is the answer? Well, there are two things you can do. One would be to imagine a good future. The other would be to stop thinking about the future and just take one day at a time. If you are a fearful person, either one of these would be preferable to living in the prison you currently live in. The principle remains true in that we have to discipline our minds and choose not to think about a bad future. We can do that. We can choose our thoughts. It just takes discipline. Accepting the realities of life. Much of what people fear are the realities of life. Some may think this cold, but people die, people lose jobs, people choose to do crazy things in relationships etc. There is nothing you can do about that. Period. For example, I know many fearful mothers who won’t let their children play in the front yard because they are afraid the kids will get kidnapped. Now, what should they do? Do everything they can to make it safe and then let their kids play in the front yard! Some people are afraid they will go bankrupt or broke and worry endlessly about it. What should they do? Work hard, save, invest and live life. Could someone get kidnapped? Yes. Could you go bankrupt? Yes. These things happen and all you can do is work to make your life what it can be and accept that sometimes things happen, even tragic things. If they happen, you experience the pain and emotion then – there is no sense forcing yourself to experience it before it happens – IF it happens! This is a mental adjustment that we make that enables us to get over fear. Give yourself good information. Much of what we fear is irrational and not based on good information. For example, someone afraid of snakes will scream when they see a gardener snake, even though the reality is that there is absolutely nothing that snake can do to them! Take the time to educate yourself about whatever it is you fear and see if that doesn’t help you gain the mental edge you need. Taking control only of those things you can control. There are things you can control and things you can’t. Much of what we fear is out of our hands and we can’t control it. You can’t control if your spouse leaves you. You can control how you treat your spouse. You can’t control a downturn in the economy. You can control whether you save for a rainy day or not. You can’t control whether or not you will get a fatal disease. You can control whether you eat right and exercise. You can’t control how your kids will turn out. You can control how you raise them, what kind of example you set, and what you teach them. You can’t control how others will treat you. You can control how you will treat others. Control what you can control, and let go of the rest.
