The next time that you find yourself being fearful remember this acronym.  Examine the facts, the evidence.......and remember that it may appear to be real AND there is a very good chance that it is just an illusion.  If you have learnt to make scary pictures in your mind that disturb or frighten you, it might be time to do something else, after all, you know how to make pictures that give you a good feeling don't you?  Yes, of course you do, so what is preventing you from doing that more often?  People are amazed when they discover that they can control their state just by making better quality pictures that make them feel better.  What do you need to think about to make yourself feel good.  Think about all the things you can do with the reclaimed energy you will get from getting off the worry wheel.  You deserve to feel better and now you know the odds of bad things happening, it's time to relax a bit more.
