I agree. It's usually better to tackle problems head on than to ignore them, as in my experience they usually have a nasty habit of catching up with us eventually.
Thanks Tim. I'm so pleased you're through the other end of your fear and that you managed to confront what was bothering you.
I can understand why you would say 'it was like a weight lifted from my shoulders.' When we let go of anything that has the potential to threaten or harm us, we find peace; a stillness that wasn't there before.
Nice quote.

Thanks Lisa.

I agree with you. Yes they do in time!
I recently confronted a fear I've been avoiding for many years now.
I felt a sense of accomplishment and liberation from the confrontation; it was like a weight was lifted from my shoulders.
