Burn my Dread

 


  Aaaaaah I'm scared. I don't want to do it. I can't. You know what it's like to be afraid of something whether it be speech, thunderstorms, or losing someone you love. Fear is a normal human emotion that warns bodies to be careful. When fear becomes a pattern in our lives, they become a problem. 

  Some are afraid of failure, others are afraid of success. Fearfulness can cause harm to your physical and mental stability. Whatever it is that scares you, burn those fears immediately. Moreover, here are some tips to help you to burn any fears or anxiety.

  Understand your fear and face it. Fear exists to keep us safe. It is not good or bad but a tool we can use to make better decisions. But fear isn't designed to keep us inactive. To help yourself face your fears, try to keep a journal over a period of three or two weeks. Record any pattern you notice. Do your hands are shaky or turn clammy while doing a speech? What do you do when your fears arise? Write down anything that seems significant. Transferring your fear patterns into writing can help demystify them. 

  Focus on your breathing. Usually, fears and anxiety begin with short breaths. The short breaths cause a number of negative reactions in our body which quickly become a fear and anxiety attack. Try to take deep breathing, it's not complicated. Once you have recognised that you are becoming fearful, stop for a moment and focus on your breathing. Take a breath in, and then slowly let it out. Make sure an exhale is longer than inhale. deep breathing forces your body to physically calm itself.

  Reward yourself. When you've made that moment you've been dreading, give yourself a treat. You deserve it to get yourself a reward. For example, reinforce your success by treating yourself to dinner, watching a cinema, playing video games, or whatever little gift makes you happy.

  Alright, that is all for little tips to burn your dread. Hopeful, these tips are helpful and easy to do whenever you feel fearful or anxious. Thank you for your time and have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
