I wouldnt say trying to change fear into something else is very mindful, rather the opposite?
Wouldnt mindfulness imply being completely mindful with the fear?
No, the sort of Mindfulness I was suggesting was the opposite. I was referring to paying strong attention to other things instead of the fear. Like concentrating upon your breath, or your body, like the way your arms and legs are feeling at the time to the point that the fear loses some of its impact.
Also, Indigo, I'd like to add practicing visualization to my suggestion. In the LOO, Ra said:

If it transcends boredom and discomfort, there's no reason in my mind to think that it couldn't help someone suffering because they are afraid.
