Examples: Afraid of the wind.
I told myself,
1. That was a car, it just sounded like the wind.
I tricked my mind by,
2. turning on the fan, on high to block out the sound.
I did not want to except what I did not want to except, nor did I want to hear what I did not want to hear.
So I remained afraid of the wind. I could not control the wind, but I could control how I dealt with it.
Until one night, I decided no more. I went out to confront my fear. I stood in the wind, and felt its sting as it blow at me, I heard its truth as it spoke to me. It took out the old air and it brought in fresh understanding.
I faced my fear, and heard the truth. I am no longer afraid of the wind.
