Quote:
Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches |
| 0:09.3 | Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life. |
| 0:22.0 | Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's episode I want to talk |
| 0:30.0 | about how we can identify and befriend our fears. Before you can overcome fear, you need to be able |
| 0:39.7 | to somewhat identify it. Now not exactly from the exact fear where it came from |
| 0:49.4 | we're not going to spend a lot of time digging, but we are going to identify it in ways such as, |
| 0:56.4 | is this an internal fear or is this an external fear? |
| 1:01.0 | And some of the questions I want to lead you through will help you to identify it because this being able to specifically name the thing that we are afraid of will help us, give us clarity in regarding the source of our anxiety or our fear. |
| 1:20.0 | And it will help us as we go forward trying to resolve it to clear our anxiety. |
| 1:27.0 | So sometimes fear comes from internal, sometimes it comes from external, sometimes it comes from external, sometimes it's our subconscious bubbling up, and |
| 1:37.2 | feels like it came out of the blue, but it didn't come out of the blue, it came from |

| 2:03.0 | What am I afraid of? |
| 2:05.0 | Like if you find yourself in a situation and you feel all those feelings |
| 2:10.0 | that the hormones of anxiety are rushing through you, ask yourself what is it that I'm afraid of? |
| 2:20.2 | Then ask yourself, why am I afraid of it? Maybe you're asking yourself why am I afraid of these feelings that I'm having they're just feelings right? But ask yourself, these are important questions. What do I try not to think about? |
| 2:39.6 | Ask yourself, what is it that I try not to think about? Is that a fear you're trying to |
| 2:46.8 | stay away from it? Ask yourself when do I feel afraid? When try to find the place, the time, when do I feel afraid? |
| 2:55.0 | When do I feel afraid? |
