Fight Your Fears: 10 proven Techniques for Overcoming Worry and Anxiety
Theresia Lucas
Description
<p>All of us struggle with fear and worry from time to time. In fact, in many cases, fear is actually a good and healthy thing. It causes us to wear seatbelts and try to eat healthy. It keeps us from doing things that will hurt us, like getting too close to a fire or jumping into a lion’s cage at the zoo. It’s also natural to be concerned about our health, bank account, job status, children, and more. When something threatens one of those things, we take notice. We work hard to protect ourselves and those we love. In some ways, fear is both a natural and helpful part of what it means to be human. But if fear gets out of control, it can take over and prevent us from enjoying life. When we’re consumed by fear, we can’t be present for others or do the things we love. Overwhelming fear affects our health, saps our strength, makes it difficult to concentrate, and robs us of sleep.</p> <p>Fear is a biological response to an internal or external stimulus. Let’s break this down. Fear is: A biological response. When you’re afraid, your body goes into “fight or flight” mode. Your heart rate goes up and your adrenaline increases. Your brain starts to race, and you may start to sweat. All these things together create the emotion of fear. To an internal or external stimulus. Fear can arise from within or without. Thinking about losing your job (internal stimulus) causes fear. Coming face-to face with a grizzly bear (external stimulus) also causes fear. When dealing with your own struggles, it’s important to understand the source of your fear. Is it arising internally or coming at you externally?</p> <p>#Howtoovercomefear #anxiety #worry #fear #productivity #wayne #Weathersby</p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/app
