Motivation for some.
Probably different for everyone.
When I feel fear I have to let it go if I can't control it.
But
I have been a victim of stalking and violence and that fear was something I couldn't let go of.
What are examples of your fears?

Fear is protective IMO
I think it's the oldest, or as a result of being old, default way to approach protecting something

Many approaches can be protective,
but if we haven't seen/learned them,
and then put that learning into practice,
fear is there to use.

So IMO the way to lessen fear,
is to be exposed to other ways of dealing with situations in which one is fearful
and work hard to learn why another method may be protective also.
Ask questions, seek understanding, try it out, etc.
that way you can learn and practice other ways to protect

The point of fear is to keep you safe.

Let it rise up inside you. Feel it fully. When it's kept down low, it's kept. You don't want it, but you don't want to feel it either. Feels stuck.

Kept fear is also a strategy, also appropriate in some situations but an indicator for that is value. It's not the fear that one want's to get rid of but the object of fear. If the primary desire is to not have the fear any more, breathe deeply and work on letting it out.

And be patient with that process. Sometimes there will be a eureka moment early on but it can also take months or years.

Speaking about it can be a helpful part of the process.

Sometimes it comes from the past and no longer has a point

I worked through some intense PTSD. Many things helped, it was a journey where I encountered many common themes and yet it was also individual.

One amazing little thing helped alot. I had a continuous background fear that someone would attack me all the time. I learned if I just looked around the room and noticed I was safe, the fear would drop away.

As already mentioned, its a survival mechanism. Fear motivates us to do something to protect ourselves. However, too much fear can paralyze us. This is essentially why deer get hit by cars at night all the time: the headlights cause them to freeze in fear and then they get hit by cars because the deer is so scared, it cannot figure what to do next.

Often, fears are tied to something that happened to us in childhood but not always. I have a fear of heights. If I get close to the edge of a cliff, i get really anxious and I have to step away from the edge. I cannot pinpoint why I fear heights, i just kinda do :shrug:

To stop feeling fear all the time, you must first figure out what you are afraid of. Can you pinpoint it? Is there a source? Some people have general anxiety, which is basically fear of everything. A common one is social anxiety, fear of interacting with people.

I used to have that but over time, with enough exposure and interactions with other people, my fear went away to almost nothing. I still do get anxious sometimes, especially around beautiful women or creepy guys, but for the most part, my social fears have gone away.

So to reduce fear, first you have to find the source (why are you scared?) then find ways of making yourself feel more comfortable in uncomfortable or unusual situations. This is essentially what Courage is.

Hope this helps.

From my point of view, fear is the biological result of confrontational experiences, and the caveat is that even memories can be perceived as confrontational experiences.

I think that makes the question, how do I confront a confrontational experience?

Well, the short answer is that you just do it. The long answer is that you take into account as many perspectives as you can on the confrontational topic. From there, you assess how you relate to each perspective, what resonates, what doesn't, you try to have a measured view of the situation.

While you can mentally rehearse the situation if you'll inevitably face it again, sometimes the unfortunate truth is that you just have to face it enough times till you aren't feeling as confronted as you were earlier, and if you reach that point, you know you're making progress and are on the right path. It doesn't mean it's a straight path, it's just a way of recognising minor improvements are important too.
