What is Fear?
Sep 02, 2021 8:31 am
Hi ,
Fear is innate, fear is fear. The more you want to leave it, the more it tights your fist. Do you remember your first interview?
Do you remember your school examination?
Do you remember when you proposed to someone?
You did a mistake and what was in your mind before reaching home?
Fear is an emotion that finds its outlet based on the perceived danger or risk.
Many times you are thinking, what will happen?
Isn't it?

There are 6 elements that keep you stay right and fit.
- What do you consume in your mind?
- What do you consume in your body?
- How much time do you give your body to rest?
- What is your environment like?
- What is your goal and action?
- What are your long-term goals?
The food you eat in your mind - What you hear in your mind is prominent. I mean the thoughts, emotions, and feelings.
As per the research approx, 60000 thoughts are thought in a day of which 55000 of these thoughts are negative. What you consume is your priority, not anyone else's.
Tony Robbins says, “You can be afraid of what can go wrong. Or you can get excited about what can go right. Either way, you are right. The media you consume is also the consumption in our minds.
Why media rarely shows good relationships between nations, families, societies, and inside the home? Why do experts say “no news is good news.”
Food you eat in the body - I am not a nutritionist nor a doctor to comment, but as a general practitioner of life, I can say that the more complex the structure is more difficult it is to digest.
When you eat a plant, you are decomposing a simple cellular structure plant-based structure. When you digest a complex cellular structure, you digest and assimilate certain emotions as well.
I am not against the meat but for the eruption of fear, certain documentaries and articles point in that direction. So keep your food simple, fresh.
How much do you sleep? Sleeping is as important as another activity.
According to Meridan Clock, different organs are most active at different times
1am-3am–Liver,
3am-5am–Lungs
11pm- 1am–Gallbladder
5am-7am–Large intestines
So if you are waking up between 1-3 Am you are building up a lot of emotions. Your liver tries to release emotions.
What if you are not allowing your liver to detoxify?
So take care of your liver, gallbladder, lungs, and large intestines.
Your environment is more powerful than you - if you are at home, you are in comfort. If you are in school, you behave that way. If you are in the office, you behave that way. Keeping your goals in focus ensures that you do not create an antienvironment for yourself.
Pro-environment is essential. Antienvironment means the environment that is non-supportive to you.
Neither create one nor be in that one. If possible, try to change it. Be in the zone. Athletes always refer to this as being in the zone.
The “zone” is a state of supreme focus that helps athletes in all sports perform at their peak potential. What are you doing about your zone?
Your goals and actions are the keys - Sam ovens in his video share the diagram and the analogy. He says - goals and actions are two variable factors.
You should change one, not both. If you change both, you cannot understand the Role of the aim or the action. If you change the goal with the same actions, the results will be different.
Ideally, keep yourself fixed on the goal. How you get there, use all permutations and combinations. There are different rivers to meet the sea, but if you keep changing the sea, where will your rivers meet?
You will be always under fear and firefighting mode. Decide your sea. Keep changing your rivers.
Think Long term - Long term consistency beats short term efficiency. Take some time now and reflect on your actions. Let's assume you are the king of your country.
What will be your actions so that your people are safe, prosperous, and happy.
Will your actions be guided by today or tomorrow?
This is the best time to envision your future. See what you will do when you are 50 years of age.
See what you will do when you are 60 years of age. What all actions you will not do today, your vision thinking about that.
What all actions you will take today so that your vision/image is in sync.
Visualize that you are 65 years now. Your children are talking to you. You are sitting on your cushy sofa. Your young adult now child says to you- Dad / Mom, are you satisfied with your life?
Is this you wanted to do? Is this the reality you have envisioned? What you were doing when you were of 35 years of age?
What do you feel you should have done? What you should not have done?
If there was a possibility that you could change something and go back to a time 25 years ago.
What was the change you would have brought?
Was this thought-provoking?
What it made you feel?
What is the action step you will take today after reading this?
I am waiting to hear from you.
Cheers,
