I want to tell a good story. Once upon a time there was a little boy. Every adult has such an “inner child” (IC) somewhere. One day our “child” hid under the bed and whispered: “Oh, I’m afraid, I’m afraid...” The kind Little Fox (L) came up to him and asked: “What are you afraid of?” VR quietly answered: “Babu Yaga.” ⠀I’ll note here the first and important step. We must call fear by its proper name. So it becomes clear who our enemy is.⠀L: How much are you afraid? VR: Very, very... L: What terrible thing can she do? VR: She... She will take me away from my mother, or “deceive me and then eat me,” or “ It will scare you at night.”⠀Giving fear a name is the first powerful tool for taming panic. This step helps you interact with the original source of your worries. And to cope with fear, you need to start managing your reactions. ⠀Interest also helps here. Out of curiosity, we start asking questions. First, ask yourself three basic questions. - What exactly am I afraid of? - How much am I afraid? - What is the worst thing that could happen to me? Thanks to the answers to these questions, we understand how realistic fear is, how we can reduce the intensity of fear, and understand the consequences of the threat . And this is already enough to start managing your reactions.⠀First of all, you can manage fears through the ability to distinguish and recognize them. If I am constantly afraid of something and don’t understand what it is, then cortisol is intensely produced. This is a stress hormone. And its high level switches all forces to activity. And the body is always in a state of combat readiness - to run or attack. Without rest, without respite, we will come to exhaustion and illness.⠀No to illness! Positivity with your own hands! We activate the ability to distinguish. And we answer three basic questions. So we have a tool for what to do with these anxieties. I am waiting for everyone who finds it difficult to enable the ability to distinguish and manage their conditions in the online group “Immunity from Fear”. We start on April 14. Write in a personal message “I want immunity from fear” Time for change - don’t sit still, let’s go together! Together with Tatyana Khromova and Olesya Chumakova.
