Neuroscience of fear

Everyone experiences fear, sometime or other.

Fear is formed when the mind focuses on the uncertainty of future outcomes.

Confidence comes from awareness of all the facts, 

and a belief in a positive outcome, no matter the uncertainty present.

Some scientists say, that is the way to overcome fear.

Neuroscientists say that humans cannot focus on more than one thing at a time.

Instant or unconscious fear is an emotion.

Conscious fear is something we feel daily,

which is fear, based on our expectations and perceptions.

Since our brain can consciously focus on one thing at a time,

once you are in the act of doing, your fear fades away.

Therefore taking action reduces conscious fear.

This concept of action overcoming fear, has been found to be generally true.

Since fear paralyses, how do you take action?

This is where commitment comes in.

Commitments are not decisions.

Commitments are not preferences.

Commitments are not ideas.

They are stronger and deeper.

They are steadfast and unwavering.

Once you commit to something, nothing else matters.

If you want to take an action, which will eliminate fear,  you need to make a commitment.

Commitment means an action is taking place and your brain is focusing on something else,

besides the fear.

Commitment leads to confidence.

It is a cycle.

Action creates success, and success will create confidence.

If you do not have confidence, take action.

The confidence will come because you will find success, 

since you are not thinking about fear.

Fear is neutralised when commitment is proven through action.

This is how the brain works.

As a added bonus, when you are committed to something,

you do not need motivation.
