I used to be afraid of everything.

When I was diagnosed as legally blind I learned something. Fear was a big part of why I could not see.
 
I tried for years to get rid of fear. Then I realized something.

I only feel afraid when... I think about something I don't want. Like when I see that thing before it happens.

I feel emotions I don't like.

My energy level drops.

My body gets sick.

It's my body's way of letting me know it's not true.

Now when I feel fearful I change my thoughts.

I focus more on what is happening right now.

I appreciate the things I see. Things I already have that I love.

I breathe.

It's nice to know I don't have to experience fear.

I get to choose.
