Summary
Fear eats the soul, as it takes away from the peace of our hearts. But to keep our worries strong, we have to feed these fears. We strengthen our fears through what we expose ourselves to all day long and what thoughts we have throughout the day. We can take specific steps to reduce and even eliminate our fears.

| 0:15.2 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Fear. It is probably one of the most powerful emotions that we have to face and it can cause such the ability and anxiety and stress and overall fear can just rob the happiness from our lives and it eats away at our soul |
| 0:26.2 | so that we see the world as a scary frightening place. Overall it's one of the main things as a clinical psychologist that I have to help people with. |
| 0:39.8 | They're fearful of losing someone they love. They're fearful of losing their finances and ending up |
| 0:47.2 | struggling. They're fearful of an illness that may come and change their life. They're fearful of external events, |
| 0:55.9 | world events that can rock their world and change everything that they feel is sacred. But I don't |
| 1:02.1 | want to go on and on about the problem. I want to go on and |
| 1:05.4 | on about the solution. What can we do to alleviate the fears in our life so that we |
| 1:10.6 | can live beautiful lives. |
| 1:14.0 | And it really boils down to two things. |

But in order to do that, we have to be aware of what's feeding our fears or are we doing things that might be contributing to making our lives harder than they |
| 1:55.8 | need to be? |
| 1:56.8 | Well, externally, we know what those things can be. |
| 2:00.4 | The news is a big one, social media, conversations with friends. |
| 2:05.0 | So many different ways we can be exposed to fearful events. |
| 2:09.0 | Now the response may be, |
| 2:11.0 | But Dr. Puff, I need to keep up what's happening in the world. |
| 2:15.3 | Keeping up and being inundated are two very different things. |
| 2:19.2 | Do we necessarily need to know what's happening across the world in one person's house? Do we? |
