Fear is an emotion felt by the person characterized by an unpleasant sensation, by the perception of a danger in a present or past time. When fear is not controlled it can be closely related to anxiety and terror.
A person with anxiety disorder mostly feels fear and often has a constant feeling that something bad may happen to him/her.
Why is fear activated?
Fear is a response that activates our brain before a possible threat, this can originate changes in the physiology that can generate in the person the increase of the arterial pressure, the level of glucose in the blood is increased, as well as the blood coagulation.
Fear is largely caused by thoughts, for example: when a person is diagnosed with cancer this response could lead to feelings of fear, because it is closely related to emotions.
The false beliefs of fear.
I always remember when I was a child, my grandparents used colloquial expressions such as: here comes the coconut and it will eat you, go to sleep, go to sleep, here comes the Lion, (the coconut and the Lion was a saying), I did not even exist, I was not a person, nor an animal, however, just by naming me the coconut and the Lion I was already afraid. Sometimes without thinking we can hurt a child when we tell him if you misbehave I am going to take you to the doctor to prick you with a syringe and we make a hospital the worst place for the child and when he sees the hospital he is horrified and in many occasions the adult enjoys the frightened face the child makes. But these situations should not happen, now I understand that most of the fears that an adult have come from childhood.
The beliefs that most block us are usually based on fears such as: fear of failure, fear of being rejected, fear of losing what you have already achieved, the belief translates into recurring thoughts that we misalign.
How to identify your fears
It is necessary to identify our fears to begin to overcome them, we must study the terrain to confront them, even though not all people can face their fears, once identified, we can find solutions to overcome them.
According to the website (https://mapsicologos.com/) states that "First we must identify that fear. In most of the occasions several can coexist, but undoubtedly one is usually positioned as the main one. We must carry out a deep internal review to properly identify this, as it is the main part of the implementation of solutions. When one is aware of one's fears, one is not ashamed of them, but accepts them in the sense of being aware of the situation one is living. Even the strongest people in the world have fears, the difference in most occasions is determined by how we face them. And evidently, in order to face them, we must put names and surnames to them, hence the relevance of a good identification of our fears."
Reflection:
In order to achieve our goals in life, it is necessary to overcome fear, even when, along the way, situations may arise that manage to misalign our emotions.
