Fear is YOUR imagination. It can be logical or illogical but it's sure that it is YOUR creation and you can have absolute control over it. Fear is never in active present. It is always about something happened in the past or something may happen in the future. Understand it is your friend, it gives you signal. If there is no fear then there is no difference between a mad man and you. You may jump from the 10th floor and die. So fear is necessary, but as soon as it gives you the signal it's duty is finished. Now your brain should stop giving the signals. But sometimes it goes on and on and on. Then it becomes problem.
So here are 5 quick ways to stop those signals.
Let us consider you have a spider phobia or any other fear,
Close your eyes, see the images which makes you feel fearful. Watch them as if you are watching a movie. After one minute make that images smaller and in your imagination place them at a distance, away from you. Them make them black and white, distort them and make them even smaller and smaller. Then run that fearful movie in backward direction very speedily, give that movie a background music of a cartoon movie. That's all. This will take only 3-5 minutes. And that particular fear will never give you any trouble.
Fear is imagination so you can change your imagination and make it funny.
So here are 5 quick ways to stop those signals.
- Suggestions: Tell your brain to stop giving the signals. Tell him quietly that now I understand the message and I'll take appropriate action to prevent the disasters. Your brain is like an obedient servant. It will listen. It will stop giving the signals and you will feel relax in few moments.
- Breath deeply: Sometimes fear is strong and you start trembling, so in that case breath deeply. Start by exhaling. Breathing has control over your brain. If you keep breathing deeply then you can not remain fearful. If still fear goes on then breath from your mouth for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Accept fear!: yes this is the quickest way from my experience. Don't do anything just accept and acknowledge that there is fear, and you don't know what to do in this situation. That's all. Fear remains as long as you fight with it, but it can not survive if you don't fight with it. Just go with the flow. If there is fear be fearful. Tremble and shake. And soon you will find that it can not increase after it reach to the peak.
- Watch fear: Watching creates distance. If you totally accept then you become one with fear and it disappears but if you watch fear then you get detached with fear and it get vanished. As soon as you look within your mind for fear and start searching the hidden fear it simply vanish. Fear is like darkness. It can not face the light of watchfulness. Simply close your eyes and observe the feeling, thought and emotions which you call fear and see yourself what happens.
- Live in the present: Fear is about past or future. Stop worrying about the future or past. Past is over and future will bring it's own solutions. So enjoy the moment. If you enjoy every moment of life then there is no space for fear to exist. Make it a rule to live in the present. Whenever you start feeling uncomfortable, anxious or fearful, just come back to this moment. Feel your breathing, feel your body, listen to the sounds around you and you will instantly feel relaxed.
