Your heart rate increases, your pupils dilate, the cold kisses you warmly, lets your palms sweat, your spine shakes and your belly freezes. You’re immersed in fear; is the beginning of long-term suicide.
Fear is the red button you see in some movies, which alerts the whole company; the lights flash, the alarm moans and people panic. The spirit is wonderful. The great boss is so efficient and incredible that, without hesitation, he unleashes a strong adrenaline rush and prepares you to fight or evacuate, that is, fight or flee.
- One of the most interesting paths of natural selection is the so-called reptile brain.
- A primitive.
- Irrational and terrifying part of the brain.
- Our own evolution has taken the stage.
- In this scenario.
- And has performed acts worthy of applause: the reptile brain is responsible for our wildest.
- Most primitive and instinctive attitudes.
- Tells us how much we should immerse ourselves in our fears.
- Or how easily and intensely we are angry.
- In any case.
- The caveman makes primitive reactions.
Fortunately, I’m the kind of person who almost never gets sick. I had allergy attacks. Used for (in the past). For a few years now, every time I catch a cold or flu, I start analyzing the days leading up to the onset of symptoms, I did the same with allergies. Interesting Once the analysis was complete, I put the theory to the test, testing it in other cases and people. So, what did you find out? In short, the theory is as follows: when the person feels anxious, anxious, worried and/or frightened, he becomes ill; and when the person feels uncomfortable with someone or something, it gives them an allergic attack. I do not yet have a scientific explanation for this latter theory, although its results have been quite promising. .
In addition to all the symptoms mentioned at the beginning of the text, the big boss does more than just press the red button. Faced with a situation of fear and stress, do you suspend all “secondary sectors” in a kind of energy management?as in the event of a power outage and hospitals activate the generator to supply only the most important sectors. Does the brain do anything similar with our body?, does it release cortisol (stress hormone), adrenaline and finally release them?After all, why are you taking the waste with you on a getaway?The lighter and less concerned, the better.
A lot of people confuse fear, cowardice and courage, warning! Everybody’s scared. No exception. Purpose, To be invaded by fear is cowardice; to confront him, on the contrary, is to have courage. Nice.
Are there people who are afraid of heights, people who are afraid of spiders, darkness, clowns, helicopters, fire, water?Above all, there is an interesting difference between fear of when your life is in danger and fear of when you do something. Risky Have you ever stopped to think about it?
Many say that courage is the opposite of fear, I have a different point of view. I think the opposite of fear is love. I explain: when you are afraid to drown, you stay away from the water (charca, sea, river, lake); but if your child or one of your parents drowns, is in agony and asks for help, you’ll probably take off your clothes, shoes, fear and everything, and without trying, you’ll do everything you can to save one of the people you love most in the world. More like both dying than watching her die, asking for help and doing nothing. Of course, there are countless variables, but the brain still works the same way. Remember suspending some secondary systems? Well, reasoning is one of them.
Greek is a very interesting language because, among other things, it offers a much more complete love menu than we do in Portuguese Eros, Agape, Philos?I discovered that, likewise, Hebrew has a denser list of fear. Attention! I’m not an expert in these languages, but sometimes I end up researching and reading, and I come up with memorable things, I have some notes with me and I’d like to share:
Yare is afraid of danger; where you can lose your life, it is the fear of the soldier in war, the fear of the Israelites before Goliath, the fear of a wild animal, the fear of the fury of nature (tsunami, storms, cyclones?), etc. .
Yirah is afraid of fear. It’s the fear of assuming who you really are, getting out of the closet, taking on new responsibilities, taking risks/blame, sending the message to that person, sharing or posting something on social media that will be exposed to others.
Pachad is the feeling of terror. An imminent translation could be “scary. “It is the fear that arises during these terrible nightmares, the fear of judgments and judgments, the fear of darkness; it’s a very biological and instinctive fear, basically automatic.
Ch’rad is the word I have had the most difficult to assimilate and I may be wrong, but I would say that it is the fear of a law, an order or a word, is the fear of imminent rebuke, the fear that precedes a planned/planned situation. ?Is the list long?
What I want to draw your attention to is: long-term suicide, the effects and consequences of fear in our daily lives, of course you will end up having situations of fear (of all kinds) and this will make your structures tremble, but ?Control, prevention, preparation, protection, care, love! Earthquakes come and go, it’s inevitable, it’s natural, BUT. It is possible to prepare, be careful, master much of the facts.
Sometimes tremors occur with supernatural force and destroy everything, it happens, it’s part of life, but if with each small earthquake we gain new cracks in structures, or worse, we lose parts of our homes and neighborhoods, we will continue to live among rubble. It’s a long-term suicide! Earthquakes, as well as mistakes and fears, should serve as an example and learning. How can I avoid this in the future?
In addition to seismographs and studies, earthquakes are battled with better structures (materials, shock absorbers, etc. ). None of this prevents earthquakes, but prevents future damage. Fears are like earthquakes; self-control is like the combat system, there are several ways to improve it: reading, meditation, self-knownness, calming down, analyzing possibilities, thinking about solutions?
My grandmother said that when the head doesn’t think, the body suffers, having self-control means controlling one’s life, it sounds pretty obvious and it may be, but that’s it, when we let ourselves be overwhelmed by fear, are our secondary functions suspended, and that includes the immune system?aah, why your theory that the frightened person gets sick?and cognitive reasoning Without immunity and without reasoning!
Evolution has been generous to our species; Fortunately, we not only depend on the reptilian part to live, we also have the cerebral cortex, we have the capacity for cognition, reasoning, logic; we have the opportunity to think. Think
Think! The spirit is wonderful. I’m Liam de Melo and it will be a pleasure to exchange ideas with you. Recognition.
