Fear has a message for us, and we need to listen. Fear can cause us to react rather than respond to it. So many times, we run away from the fear rather than being aware of it, talking with it and learning from it. Let's look at worry and shame, two of the messengers of fear, and see what messages they have for us and how we can learn from them.
When we understand the messengers of fear - e.g., worry and shame - then we can start understand why they are present in our lives and learn from them, accepting them rather than running away from them and ignoring the lessons they bring.
