Fear contracts you into survival mode, scanning for danger instead of opportunity. Freedom is the opposite: an expansive state that opens you to what's possible. Chronic anxiety comes from constantly anticipating what could go wrong.
opposite of fear for me is always freedom. Always, always, always. And fear in the mind, it's always the sense of contraction— also in the body, by the way— and it keeps you in the survival mode, this scanning for danger, this, uh, instead of scanning for opportunity. I mean, you think about this, you know, we— you'll meet people that are overanxious Because there is an anticipation of all the time what could go wrong in the unknown or in the unpredictable uncertainty. And this is why when you operate from fear, you're stuck in patterns of control and the scarcity and the self-protection.
