Welcome back, BinoBees! Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s as old as humanity itself: fear. What is it, what causes it, and most importantly, how do we overcome it? Fear, my friends, is not just a reaction; it’s a state of mind. As Sadhguru beautifully puts it, “Fear is simply because you are not living with life; you are living in your mind.”
Understanding Fear: Our suffering is rooted in the non-existent, a result of being lost in the labyrinth of our minds. The mind, a dual concoction of memory and imagination, becomes the breeding ground for fear. But fear doesn’t have to be our dictator. Instead of letting it distract us, let’s treat fear as a cue to take action.
Embracing Intensity: If you’re here to experience life, you must embrace intensity. The moment fear becomes your shield, intensity dwindles. You become a psychological case, merely observing life instead of immersing in its wonders.
Strategies to Conquer Fear: Now, here’s the exciting part! We’re about to uncover ten practical steps to conquer fear and propel you closer to the life you truly desire. Let’s delve into the strategies, the tools, the mindset shifts that can dismantle fear’s grip on your life.
1. Take Time Out: When fear floods your mind, taking time out is the first key. Take 15 minutes to physically calm down. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a cup of tea, or a relaxing bath, give yourself the space to breathe.
2. Breathe Through Panic: If panic sets in, don’t fight it. Place your hand on your stomach, breathe slowly and deeply. Let your mind acclimate to panic, stripping away the fear of fear itself.
3. Face Your Fears: Avoidance only strengthens fear. Face it head-on, and watch it gradually fade away. If you panic in a lift, challenge yourself to step back into it the next day.
4. Imagine the Worst: Picture the worst-case scenario. Convince yourself of the fear until you realize its impossibility. The more you chase the fear, the faster it runs away.
5. Look at the Evidence: Challenge fearful thoughts by examining evidence. If you fear being trapped in a lift, ask yourself if it’s ever happened. What would you say to a friend with a similar fear?
6. Don’t Try to Be Perfect: Life isn’t perfect. Embrace the messiness. Bad days happen, setbacks occur, and it’s okay. Release the pressure to be flawless.
7. Visualize a Happy Place: Close your eyes and escape to a place of safety and calm. Picture a beautiful beach, a cozy bed with a cat by your side, or a cherished childhood memory. Let those positive feelings wash over you.
8. Talk About It: Sharing fears diminishes their power. Whether it’s with a partner, friend, family member, or a helpline, talking about your fears is a courageous step toward overcoming them.
9. Go Back to Basics: In times of anxiety, people often turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms. But, as the saying goes, simple is often best. A good night’s sleep, a wholesome meal, and a refreshing walk can work wonders for anxiety.
10. Reward Yourself: Celebrate your victories, no matter how small. When you tackle that dreaded call or face your fear head-on, reward yourself. Treat yourself to a massage, a country walk, a meal out, or whatever brings you joy.
