How Did I Teach Myself Fear

I wrote How Did I Teach Myself Fear? To unblock my hidden blocks by admitting and admiring gut gumption I taught myself fear through my childhood surroundings and people of influence. I unlocked my imprisoned impudence to understand, admit, and admire. I taught myself everything in my life.

A revolutionary guide to acknowledging fear and developing the tools we need to build a healthy relationship with this confusing emotion—and use it as a positive force in our lives. We all feel fear. Yet we are often taught to ignore it, overcome it, push past it. But to what benefit? This is the essential question that guides Kristen Ulmer’s remarkable exploration of our most misunderstood emotion in The Art of Fear. Once recognized as the best extreme skier in the world (an honor she held for twelve years), Ulmer knows fear well. In this conversation-changing book, she argues that fear is not here to cause us problems—and that in fact, the only true issue we face with fear is our misguided reaction to it (not the fear itself). Rebuilding our experience with fear from the ground up, Ulmer starts by exploring why we’ve come to view it as a negative. From here, she unpacks fear and shows it to be just one of 10,000 voices that make up our reality, here to help us come alive alongside joy, love, and gratitude. Introducing a mindfulness tool called “Shift,” Ulmer teaches readers how to experience fear in a simpler, more authentic way, transforming our relationship with this emotion from that of a draining battle into one that’s in line with our true nature. Influenced by Ulmer’s own complicated relationship with fear and her over 15 years as a mindset facilitator, The Art of Fear will reconstruct the way we react to and experience fear—empowering us to easily and permanently address the underlying cause of our fear-based problems, and setting us on course to live a happier, more expansive future.

"With its warm palette and gentle scenes of the worried child being comforted, this book could function as a sequel to Sanna's astounding debut picture book, The Journey, which recounted a family's dangerous flight from their home in a war zone. Sanna provides an empathetic exploration of the adjustment to a new land that all migrants experience."--New York Times Book Review “Authentic and immediate, the first-person narration draws in readers and reveals just how easily fear can become overwhelming and isolating, but can also be controlled when feelings are shared and through comfort found in friendship. ­Like Sanna’s The Journey, this book about an immigrant’s experiences tackles a tough topic with honesty, empathy, and a sense of hopefulness.”—School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW “This follow-up to The Journey about a refugee family fleeing a war-torn homeland, focuses on the young daughter’s apprehension as she adjusts to life in a new country and a new school.”—The Horn Book Review "[...] this creative depiction shows how friendship, empathy, and connection can help bring the overwhelming down to size for all." —Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW “A universal book that can be used to explain fear to readers and give empathy to those in a new environment.” —Kirkus Reviews “It will be a familiar story for many children, but the girl’s specific fears about language and difference might make this useful for discussions about newcomers as well.” —Booklist When a young immigrant girl has to travel to a new country and start at a new school, she is accompanied by her Fear who tells her to be alone and afraid, growing bigger and bigger every day with questions like "how can you hope to make new friends if you don't understand their language?" But this little girl is stronger than her Fear. A heart-warming and timely tale from the bestselling author and illustrator of The Journey, this book shows us the importance of sharing your Fear with others--after all, everyone carries a Fear with them, even if it's small enough to fit into their pocket!

For the last eight years, James and Kate have been working together to design, implement and evaluate a whole-school, evidence-informed approach to teaching and learning known as Learning Skills. An eight-year study with the University of Cambridge revealed that Learning Skills led to significant gains in subject learning, with rapid gains among students from disadvantaged backgrounds. In this practical guide for teachers and school leaders, James and Kate reveal a recipe for success rooted in three key concepts: metacognition (reflecting on learning); self-regulation (taking ownership over the learning process); and oracy (developing high-quality speaking and listening skills). This is a book about what happened when a small team of teachers seized an opportunity to provide their students with the knowledge, the skills and the confidence to take control of their own learning. This journey began with a question: how and what would we teach, if there was no one watching? On the other side of fear is the teacher you want to be, and the children you'd like to teach...

There are numerous self-help books on bookstore shelves trying to bring peace to Christians by luring them through the Land of Oz. In actuality, though, such books cause believers to stumble in their faith through a mind over matter approach strongly endorsed in our world today-a world without Jesus! Through personal trials and triumphs, I found in Jesus a better way to have peace within, even when flying high on a cloud or crashing to the ground. Through this book, you, too, will find the way to peace as you let Jesus remove your heartaches, and the bondage causing your woes, something mind over matter cannot do! The core principles used to bring this book to light-God's Word and personal experiences guided by Romans 15: 18 (NKJV): For I will not dare to speak of any of those things, which Christ has not accomplished through me. Although born in Shreveport, Louisiana, Ronald was reared and educated in Dallas, Texas, and has spent most of his adult life living in Alabama where he now resides with his lovely wife, Mary Ann, in Madison, Alabama. Having no direction for his life, Ronald exhausted his younger days on things of this world, creating for himself a life of self-indulgence and self-love. In the middle of this existence, however, Jesus came looking for Ronald and when He found him, He restored his life with blessings he never before knew-true love-abundant joy-sublime peace. The most succinct way to describe his life-he was born in the 1940's, reared in the 50's, experienced the 60's, overdosed in the 70's, found Jesus in the 80's and has evermore been blessed, joyfully loving and serving Jesus with his life.

The loss of the fear of God has been the greatest devastation to our nation and to the body of Christ. It is the sign of the end times, the mark of falling away from the Lord. O how we need to recapture the fear of God in this day so that we all might be found prepared for the Lord's return. We are living in the very days before the Lord's return when the prophecies of scripture are being fulfilled all around us. Yet few are being prepared for his return with the holiness that He will demand. We must follow after “holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Heb 12:14). Such holiness cannot be obtained without the fear of the Lord being brought back into the church and especially into its leadership. This book shows how the fear of God has been forsaken, and it exposes the heart of compromise that is the spirit of our age. Ask yourself, how are you being prepared by the preaching of the fear of the Lord so that your life meets Christ's holy eyes?
