InnerSelf Daily Inspiration September 16, 2026 3 Steps to Pull Yourself into the Now and Overcome Fear By Lawrence Doochin "When we center in the heart and the now, it gives us the opportunity to make incredibly healing choices as we are not reacting unconsciously from fear anymore. We can choose love over fear, compassion over judgment, forgiveness over hatred, and grace over condemnation." — Lawrence Doochin Why do we think time is linear? It's because we don't perceive the now. Our minds are constantly in the past, focusing on our memories; or in the future, focusing on our expectations. But both of these states of mind are breeding grounds for fear. When we fixate on the future, for instance, our minds create numerous "could happen" and "might be" scenarios, heading down a trail of not-so-good possibilities and outcomes. And the truth is, despite our placing credence in these thoughts, our imagined scenarios rarely happen as we thought they would. Spiritual teachers have told us that life is unfolding in the now, however, and that only the present moment exists. This has also been confirmed by science — through Albert Einstein and others. If we can pull our attention back to the present moment, the fear subsides. Here's how to shift into the present and detach from our fears.

Even if everyone around us is in fear, this doesn't have to be our personal experience. By taking us on a treetop journey through quantum physics, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and more, A Book On Fear gives us tools and awarenesses to see where our fear comes from. When we see how our belief systems were created, how they limit us, and what we have become attached to that creates fear, we will come to know ourselves at a deeper level. Then we can make different choices to transform our fears. For more info, or to order this book, click here. (Also available as a Kindle edition.)
