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 😀.

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...

Telekinesis or psychokinesis refers to the alleged ability to move objects with the power of the mind or willpower, without physical interaction.   Telekinesis is from the Greek words, tele means "distant" and kinesis means "movement".
