Step 04: Fear inventory
Read the passage on fear (pages 67-68).
Read the blog articles on fear. https://first164.blogspot.com/search/label/Fear.
Make a list of fears (page 68).
(start by extracting the fears from the page 67 questions, then brainstorm to complete the list).
With each one, find out what is behind the fear to get to the core fear.
E.g.
If you’re scared of losing a job, why? Fear of: poverty, loss of status, failure.
If you’re scared of old age, why? Fear of death, loss of identity, physical pain.
If you’re scared of losing a relationship, why? Fear of failure, ridicule, loneliness, emotional pain.
Sometimes you can take it one stage further, e.g.
If you’re scared of failure, why? Fear of loss of identity, emotional pain.
Try to summarize this with a short list of core fears that explain the rest.
