I tried Martha Beck's suggestion regarding thinking about love rather than fear and couldn't believe how different the two thoughts made me feel, and about the same issue. When I thought about what I loved about the situation, I felt light and relaxed - but when I thought about the fear I could feel myself getting stressed and tighten up.

I particularly love the tip on dissolving fear by getting into a state of love - very powerful. I think it may well be the key to happiness and success in any area of life!
