We live in a world that causes
people to feel anxious on a daily basis, either by reading about terrifying
events or worrying that another may occur. Fear does many things to a person,
but fundamentally it makes us feel insecure. But in truth, the remedy for fear
is personal and has nothing to do with external circumstances. Each of need to
find our own way out of the fear; no one is going to do it for us.
Here are 5 ways that may be
effective for you in returning to a sense of personal safety and security.
1.
Become more
rational, and let facts diminish irrational fear: Learn about what make you
fear. Don’t go by rumours and speculations that fuel fear. For example,
headlines about terrorism are always scary, but your actual chance of being
directly harmed is million to one.
2.
Take
yourself out of the anxiety loop: Avoid
news stories about terrorism. Stop being addicted to violent scenes of
terrorism on television of insurgency, bombing, terrorist threats, and more.
3.
Talk to
someone who really listens: Share how u feel and ask for realistic to
feedback. It isn’t realistic to worry that you will become a personal victim of
terror. If such a worry haunts you, talk about it.
4.
Build a
healing connection between yourself and the threat: Forming a human bond
with someone else is a powerful remedy – this bond begins in your own mind. There
is no one ‘them’ out there waiting for you.
5.
Be a
practical optimist: There is no need to bury your head in sand.
Psychologically, there is nothing to be gained by gloomily projecting future
events that you have no control over. Gaining control over your own existence
is the single best way to decrease general, free-floating anxiety.
