COVID-19 and its three demons Part II: FEAR IS A LIAR

FEAR is a LIAR. FEAR incapacitates, handicaps, and paralyzes you. FEAR as an acronym:

F alse

E vidence

A ppearing

R eal

 

The more you repeat an idea in your mind, whether true or false, the faster your subconscious mind will accept it as a reality. And your whole physiology will come into alignment with what it believes.

 

Hardly ever is FEAR genetically coded within our DNA, 90% of the time it is learned behavior. Most of the time it's the result of our childhood traumas, experiences, or simply the way your mother and father parented you.

 

FEAR send your body into one of three different responses: FIGHT, FLIGHT or FREEZE.

 

Trypanophobia is an extreme fear of medical procedures involving injections or hypodermic needles.

 

Hemophobia is an extreme fear of seeing blood, or getting tests or shots where blood may be involved.

 

Cortisol: stress hormone

Oxytocin: love (calm) hormone

 

Calming Techniques:

• diaphragmatic breathing
• guided imagery 
• tapping

 Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength

 

In vivo exposure refers to the direct confrontation of feared objects, activities or situations by a person under the guidance of a therapist.

 

Your default mode is not fear, it's POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND.

 

Breaking free from the vicious fear and anxiety cycle is going to require that you reframe and recalibrate your mind.

 

Robin Sharma's Four Interior Empires: MINDSET, HEARTSET, SOULSET, and HEALTHSET

 

 

Keep calm and avoid in the midst of the wave of panic:

1. stay away from social media and up-to-the-minutes news
2. know the facts and understand the truth
3. actively remind yourself of reason not to worry
4. create a new routine
5. occupy your mind with relaxing hobbies
6. if you live alone call a friend
7. if you are suffering from extreme fear and anxiety seek help from a specialist

Psalm 27:1 - The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?
