Fear

Waking up with a full mind.

There are times when we wake up in the morning and we find that our mind is saturated. There have been so many things going on around, especially in such special circumstances. People around the world are all talking about the same issue over and over. No matter how much we are trying to let go of the negativity, it just keeps coming back.

The sense of fear floods the soul.

Everyone is talking about the spread of the virus. Everyone is worried of their family members. Everyone is worried for themselves. What can we do? What can we do to make a difference in the world?

Fear is something everyone has to go through no matter how fearless the person may be. How can we use this to our advantage? This is perhaps how we should rephrase our question. This is perhaps the way we should be training ourselves to think.

Open your eyes!

The opportunists have their own way of transforming fear into the best marketing strategy. All the riches in the world is fear driven.

Medicine and pharmaceutical has been in the mainstream healing industry for the longest time possible in the modern era. Though there have been many cutting edge discoveries and there is no doubt of the contribution of the invention of medicine, there is a catch in everything noble. People have developed more and more classes of medicine for the smallest possible symptoms anyone can describe.

Modern age people want a cure to their sickness, most often just described in the form of symptoms.
When there is a fever, paracetamol is prescribed.
When there is a cold, antihistamine is prescribed.
When there is a sore throat, antibiotic is prescribed.
When there is a cough, cough mixture is prescribed.
When there is an ache, painkiller is prescribed.
Are these really cure to the root cause of the sickness, or just treatment for the symptoms? How many times have you visited the conventional general practitioner in the past one year?

We only think of wanting to heal fast but we have not done our part in really healing our body. What our body needs is just quality sleep, fresh air, sufficient fluid, nutritious food, and sanity of the mind. What have you done to keep these five important parts of your life top notch? Whatever you do before bedtime has a lot of influence in the quality of sleep you get. If you keep yourself in an enclosed area for too long breathing in just cool air from the air conditioner and purifier, no matter how much you yearn to be healthy, there is only so much you can do to your health. Whatever amount of exercise you do will not be enough if you are not replenishing yourself with the right amount of fluid and nutrition. No matter how much you try to leave behind the notorious things that are bothering you, your mind will still be bogged down if you cannot let go of it.

Talk to yourself. Listen to yourself.

We are all animals and we have our own instincts. It is time to bring that out into the light. You are gifted. Believe in that. Trust your body. Your body knows what is best for you. Put up a routine that suits you. Your life may be on the fast track but there is only so much you can do in the limited amount of time you have. Ask yourself this question, if tomorrow is dooms day, what will you do today? Ask yourself deep down inside, what is most important to you if there is no tomorrow?

There may be something that you really want to do. There may be something that you need to do. Whatever it may be, this will keep your priority top notch. Nobody will know what happens tomorrow or if there is going to be a tomorrow. The best thing that we can do for ourselves is to let fear of tomorrow become our advantage today. Anything is possible. You only need to believe in yourself. Choose what you must and success awaits.

Live on fear only to make fear your stepping stone.

 

Fear has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything and Run’ or ‘Face Everything and Rise’. The choice is yours.
