Conquering Doubt and Fear

Doubt and fear are two of the most negative elements in the human psyche. The end result of these two elements is immobility, paralysis. We cannot take a step either physically or mentally. Both the mind and body can be frozen with fear and doubt. Whatever we do to help ourselves surmount our grief (psychic pain), we must deal with these negativities. We cannot expect ourselves to be hopeful, or to have faith in moving forward, when doubt and fear are not handled. We are all aware of the placebo effect or of the increased speed of healing when optimism and hope are present. Thus when we believe that we can get better, there is a much better probability that we will, in fact, be successful.
