I'm starting to think I waste a lot of energy trying to control fear directly and it just doesn't work at all for me. It's like fighting fire with fire. I get angry and stressed trying to get rid of it but I influence that part of my mind very little. I'm only causing myself more trouble. I have to reevaluate my whole approach. I wish it wasn't there but it is and at this point I feel I'm better off changing my response to fear vs the fear itself.
One of the things I've had to learn the hard way is getting deeper into my head and analyzing the fear causes nothing but mass confusion. It's like getting pulled into a vortex of self doubt and paralyzing emotion. I've had days where I sit down on the couch thinking I'll just be 5 minutes and I just get sucked into this frozen state. Feels like I'm stuck and it requires a ton of energy to get moving again. I don't particularly like the whole idea of staying busy to avoid these traps either though. There's a solution here I just don't see really except to keep going and hope for the best.
After this cycle I'm going to try 3 loops. I'll keep that going until I decide it's too much to handle. This way I can consistently see how the number of loops effects me.
