Once i got over the spider thing the fear energy was still strong from years of working out. Eventually turning into the fear of failure then turning into jealousy of people that seem to have it better than me, which then turned into anger. Once anger takes the wheel you your compassion for others starts fading away, then eventually you slowly begin to care less and less about yourself and start doing things that are self destructive. They dont seem self destructive at first but that part of your brain that knows something is stupid gets shouted over buy whatever negative energy you are powered up on at the time. What was I writing about. Oh yeah, I did the same thing as you to not allow the fear of failure to be my controller or the cause of my self destruction. So one negative thought energy had to be changed to a more powerful but less self destructive negative energy that can cause positive results. Your perspective caused me to look back to old stuff from a higher point and see it more clearly. Like how when you watch a chess game and you see way more moves than the players since you are detached from the competition.

Turn your fear into a Game is my advice.
The type of fear is a funny thing. Theres a video clip that teaches you how to turn fear on and off like a switch for more energy during fighting techniques. You stare at a point on the wall and think of something that scares you, then you try to turn the feeling of being scared off. Once its gone you turn it back on again. You do that over and over until it becomes like turning on and off a switch. It definetly does something. Ive been hooked up to an EKG machine in a ekg class and I was able to drastically speed up and slow down my heart rate. The teach/paramedic/nurse guy couldnt under stand it until I explained it to him in a scientific way. At first I said it was old kung-fu and he looked at me like I said it was magic.
Heres the video. Its at minute mark 4:07
Heres the first part of the video if you want to see it. The head guy looks like he trying to use will power through his eyes to make you buy his dvds sometimes.
Turning your fear into a game is close to something else I do. Ill try to think of a way to make it seem funny or ridiculous and Illogical.
