This episode is for anyone who has struggled with fearful or anxious thoughts. I share an excerpt about keeping our fearful thoughts in check. This starts first by recognizing that your thoughts are not you. Even though thoughts exist inside our minds, they can come and go just like sights and sounds can come in and out of our awareness as we walk through different environments. Realizing this truth empowers you to choose which thoughts to hold and which to reject. I share some practical ideas for how to start winning in the battle against anxious thoughts, fears and worries. It may be difficult to do at first, but becomes easier with practice.

• Let go of your fear. You create ideas in your mind that will never come to be. You fear outcomes that make no sense. Keep your fearful thoughts in check. Test them against reason and then test them against my will and power. You will find that every fear falls away and cannot stand against my reality—the reality of who I am and who you are in me.
