Fears In Human Life


Fear is the most basic human instinct. It's based on a defensive mechanism that is used to protect you from things like pain, and threats.

It's a necessary emotion to ensure our survival when something like a tree is falling and we are standing right under it. The emotion of fear itself is only supposed to last for a short amount of time. If it occurs for a long period of time it can be damaging to our bodies.

Fear is the emotion that debilitates you and prevents you from being free. It affects the healing process in your body and your overall well-being. It can affect our lives directly and indirectly. In this article I hope to bring up the indirect ways as regard to our health industry.

As a reader I hope you get much more out of it and apply whichever method(s) to improve your overall life.
Psychologists have mainly looked at fear regarding phobias and how it affects our lives socially and emotionally. Phobias only account for a small percentage of the population.

The lighter forms of fear affect the population on a much larger scale.Fear is as real to you as you think it is and last for as long as you hold unto it. Fear can be the stealer of your life and the killer of your soul.

Fear is dispelled the minute you take action to face it head on; the moment you move against the pressure, the thoughts and do the opposite, the power of that fear dies instantly. It's like having a fear of heights and making the decision to take the elevator to the Empire state building, get out of the elevator and walk out onto the balcony.

There you realized that what held you captive were simply what you fed to your mind and it really had no power over you; only what you gave it. The release and rush you experience in that moment can be summed up in one word "freedom".

Freedom from the fear of failure, rejection and the unknown makes room for love and faith to grow. Love, faith and fear cannot dwell together, one will always over power the other. The force that has the most power will prevail; fear is always seeking to paralyze our thinking, as is the force of love and faith always seeking to strengthen and free us.
