Fear and Anxiety

Doom, Destruction that rule our minds sometimes stem from childhood situations and Fears. It is fears that create anxiety and paranoia that form limits and levels to overcome. Such fears like fear of the dark, fear of flying, fear of dying, fear of the bogeyman are intertwined between childhood situations and our daily lives. We believe someday we can defeat such fears and everything will be ok, but these fears return like clockwork to haunt and torment us. It is most important to confront anxiety and fears where they lay and reaching back to the point they started. When we find such a fear we must replace it with a positive memory and think it just doesn’t matter and if it did it didn’t matter anyway. Life is about going forward, making decisions and not looking back. If something like fear and anxiety is slowing us down, life and the World keep on going. Fears that spring from an active imagination do not relate to fears that are a normal response to real danger. The fear that compels you to avoid a car accident is a normal reaction to a potential threat. Your body prepares you to handle stress by exhibiting a lever for this sudden physical readiness. 

Anxiety is a general term that incorporates a wide range of emotions. Worry, apprehension and uneasiness are mild forms of anxiety; dread, distress and panic are more intense manifestations. Anxiety may result from either real or imaginary threats. For years anxiety wasn’t understood and the term was loosely used to describe someone suffering with it. Many were condemned by the word anxiety wrongfully diagnosed, others suffered with a treatable disease. Unhealthy anxiety starts with irrational thinking that magnifies a threat of danger beyond reality or creates an imaginary threat. The creation of a negative mental scenario that may or may not happen and then tell yourself they will happen forces fear out of control.
