Because I am in control my fears are quelled.

Today I am in control of my emotions and my life and I need not worry about what tomorrow may bring because I am fully capable of anything thrown my way. This gives me confidence to try new things and experience new places. If I am in a situation that does not feel comfortable to me I can choose to leave because I am in control.

I have often felt afraid when I was uncertain about things around me and in my life. Not knowing what to expect would frighten me and I often missed out on things I would otherwise enjoy.

When I feel prepared for a situation, I do not feel afraid. Although my fears may not go away all together, I feel more secure when I know that I am in control.

I may not be able to control other people in my life, but I am always in control of myself. I am in control of whom I choose to be with, where I choose to go and when I choose to return.

I will no longer miss out on experiences due to uncertainty or fear because I know that I am in control of myself and my immediate environment. I am in control of all my emotions and no one can make me feel uncomfortable without my permission. I am no longer controlled by fear. Knowing that I am in control allows me to experience my life in a confident manner.

If I begin to feel uncertain or afraid today, I will take a deep breath and tell myself that I am in control and I can tame my fears. No one can make me feel fear unless I allow it. And no one else can ease my fears but me because I am in control.
