I am fortunate that most of my fear is made up in my head. For others who are facing health issues, financial or legal issues, the fear has some tangible external consequences. Fear drugs are produced in either case and interfere with enjoyment of life. While my subconscious programming responsible for my made up fear is very powerful, I had the idea to try an experiment which examines the facts associated with my fear generating thoughts. As a start I will write down the fear inducing thoughts as they occur and experiment with some criteria by way of establishing a reality check. Should be interesting and maybe even useful. [Russell]
