I will face my fear

My favourite extract from a book. It's helped me reduce anxiety in AFib...

"I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.”

Bene Gesserit – Litany against fear, Dune by Frank Herbert

Like the bit about the inner eye. Fir me it's about sitting with the fear - anxiety in my case - that seems to help face it.
