Silence Fear and other Anxiety Disorder Symptoms

Fear and other strong emotions that come with it are very powerful and not to be ignored. In fact you must REFUSE to allow yourself to be afraid.

The good news is that fear begins with and can be controled by thought. You and you alone are in charge of what you think.

From Dr. Don Colbert’s book Deadly Emotions: Understand the Mind-Body-Spirit Connection That Can Heal or Destroy You it reads,

“As in the case with all intense, toxic emotions, a chemical response occurs in the brain when a person experiences severe fear. This chemical activity excites these vital brain centers in particular - (the area of the brain that controls memory and helps the brain learn and retain information)……Fear and anxiety seem to occure on the same general spectrum. Fear is a concentrated, short term bout of anxiety. It’s the acute immediate “anxious” response.

…Some fears occur repeatedly in the same environment; in other words, certain experiences or circumstances always seem to trigger fear in a person. In these cases, the fear is called a phobia…Part of the definitiobn of a phobia is that it is a crippling fear. It keeps a person from moving about in society in a normal manner.

…When a person has a sudden attack of fear, the body responds with an intense and acute stress response; adrenaline flows into the bloodstream and immediately signals the body to go onb it’s highest level of alert to fight or flee. (When) the stress response does not shut down…hormones continue to pour into the body (causing) the cardiovascular or immune system to suffer damage.”

Realize that continuing to listen to reports of bad news can fuel the fear that paralyzes - both mentally and physically!

Watch and listen to Dr. Joe Dispenza describe “emotional addition.”
 

Stepping out of ones comfort zone to do something different or better during this time of reported “doom and gloom” can be frightening or stressful. Read what Napoleon Hill wrote about fear:

“Fear of poverty (or recession/depression) is a state of mind, nothing else! (He also says “a state of mind is something that one assumes. It cannot be purchased. It must be created.) Fear is sufficient to destroy one’s chances of achievement in any undertaking, a truth which becomes painfully evident during any time of economic difficulty and uncertainty. Fear of poverty (or recession/depression) paralyzes the faculty of reason, destroys the faculty of imagination, kills self reliance, undermines enthusiasm, discourages initiative, leads to uncertainty of purpose, encourages procrastination, wipes out enthusiasm, and makes self control impossible. Fear takes the charm from one’s personality, destroys the possibility of accurate thinking, diverts concentration of effort, kills persistance, turns willpower into nothingness, destroys ambition, beclouds memory, and invites failure in every conceivable form. It kills love and assassinates the finer emotions of the heart, discourages friendship, invites disaster in a hundred forms, leads to sleeplessness, misery and happiness and all this despite the obvious truth that we live in a world of over-abundance of everything the heart could desire, with nothing standing between us and our desires except lack of a definite purpose and the plans that derive from it.”

It’s so important to stand guard over what goes into and what goes on inside your mind.

You may be reading this and saying “not my problem,” but because of the environment of our economy right now you will be working with, doing business with, etc. other people that are overcome by fear.

It’s important to understand what happens to ourselves and others in this state of fear. Let’s set ourselves free from fear, let’s do our part to release others from fear.
