Be Fearless
When your thoughts are in panic, stress or an anxious mode, it triggers your sympathetic nervous system which is the one in charge of your flight/fight/freeze response. When in panic as a result of COVID-19 for example, it also affects your adrenals, the symptoms include fatigue/tiredness which can fog your mind and make you not necessarily able to make the best decision at the moment.
What can do you to move away from the flight/fight/freeze response in your body?
- Breathing: Breathe in and out through your nose, and feel it your belly, not your chest, and take a moment in the present, here is a video that will show you some breathing techniques
- Meditation: Take at least 5 minutes daily to focus on the present moment. You can use the breathing technique as your meditation time as well, here is another meditation that you can follow daily
- Exercise: This is an important part to start bringing your attention back to your body, here is another idea to exercise
Be Positive
In a situation of fear or panic the best solution is to move away from your sympathetic nervous system, and towards your parasympathetic system which is basically moving away from flight/fight/freeze. There are a few things that you can do other than breathing, meditation, and exercise, for example: focus on positivity, gratitude, and ask yourself what you learned from this experience or global situation, what is your positive contribution to this planet, city, or home to make it a better place for you and your family. In order to get your body into your parasympathetic system, practice the following:
- Schedule family quality time, now is the best time for it. Hug, kiss and stay together
- Efficiently use your time, schedule, and set the proper priorities in the correct order, and stay away from guilt
- Create affirmations to move your thoughts to be more positive. Focus on positive outcomes that contribute to the wellbeing of the planet and human beings
