Your fears come from your thoughts. Change your thoughts. Simply put, you believe that things or people make you scared, but this is not accurate. You make yourself scared because of the thoughts that you have about the people or the events in your life. It’s not people or events that make you scared, it’s what you choose to think about those persons or events. You alone control what enters into your head as a thought. If you don’t believe this, just answer this question, “ If you don’t control your thoughts who does?”
You have the power to think whatever you choose to let into your head If something just “pops” into your head you choose to put it there, though you may not know why, you still have the power to make it go away. Your feelings come from your thoughts. You can’t have a feeling without first having a thought.
If you can control your thoughts then you can control your feelings.
Your Erroneous Zones by Dr. wayne Dyer

Events do not directly affect our psyches the way a needle in the arm causes pain (even then the pain has to go through our brain be­fore we can feel it).To get a glimpse of the correct theory, imagine that you are about to enter a room where someone awaits you. Your emotions will be related to your preconceptions, your thoughts or Beliefs (which we'll refer to as "B").
If you expect a violent criminal, you may very well feel afraid. If instead you anticipate that it's your young child who has been missing for days, you're likely to feel greatly relieved and overjoyed.
However, your beliefs, expectations, and anticipations — your B's —are things that you generate and control. And it's B that creates C: beliefs create emotions. A, or the Activating event alone, does not create emotions.
Suppose a hundred airplane passengers are unexpectedly given parachutes and instructed to jump from the plane (A). If a physical situation alone could cause emotions — if A could di­rectly cause C — then all the hundred people would feel the same way. But obviously those who regard skydiving positively (B) are going to have a C very different from the others.
The fact that feelings come from thinking was known to the ancient Greek Stoics and to many Buddhist teachers. It has more recently been rediscovered by Albert Ellis and other psycholo­gists and has been tested in practice by thousands of therapists.

A = Activating event
B = irrational Belief
C = emotional Consequences

Is the fear real (alley with a rapist approaching)
or imagined (plane flying into the side of your house)
Depending on the type of fear, your responses would be different.

Fear is the mind killer, true courage is not the absence of fear, it is going on in spite of fear
