Overcoming stress

One of the biggest things in life we go through, is the perception of danger. Recently I have noticed somethings about stress and how it develops over perceiving danger. For example, when we decide to watch a scary movie, people tend to curl up, grabbing a pillow or blanket and keeping your feet up close to you because you're scare. Is this a healthy response? Well absolutely! We learn that it's good to have anxiety since it is a natural process we have as human beings. Many times, people believe that there's something wrong with them. Being anxious or nervous has been looked down upon in many society. Freaking out isn't something that's attractive for obvious reasons. But it can and has save lives when we are in specific danger. We receive a perception in response to danger, and that creates an opening of thoughts putting us in survival mode. In the moment, people may not be able to make clear decisions in order for them to get out of it. It'll come when it is a fight or flight, we learn it by being push to a corner that'll force us to act for those moments. These situations are crucial to survival as a person, we learn what is dangerous by experiences. It may be scary, but that is how we operate and built. Honestly, if there's anyone out there who does not have some kind of fear, I would seriously be worry for them. There's no way they can overcome the difficult times. The matter of growth is of most importance that brings us to overcome our stepping stones. Not only to help others in the future, but it's also just our entire life we should be able to go through. Faith is the driving force of our lives that can make a huge difference. When panic attacks happens more than once, people can counteract from experience by naturally knowing how to handle it. Don't get me wrong, there are negative affects that occurs when these types of emotions comes into. When we begin to process what is real, we can question our self worth and what we should do in a crisis situation. Am I in trouble? Is there anything I can do? Can I actually do this? Questions like these are seen as insecure, but what if we can answer them with confidence? Will the outcome be something completely phenomenon? In my experience, yes absolutely! When I decided to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, There was a ton of insecurities that consists of doubts, anxieties, fear and perception of danger. I was wondering how I was gonna survive when it comes to my parents forbidding me to join the church and going on a mission. Besides knowing the scriptures, I was put into fight or flight. It was a spiritual experience that drove me to be better and greater than who I was before. Those emotions I felt at the time gave me peace now because of how I was developed to struggle with these struggles. The trials were there to show me what I can do in terms of being spiritual. Knowing this, I actually enjoyed my experiences and am glad that it happened. I would've missed out all the friends and adventures I obtained, not knowing who I would become today.  Having anxiety can be tough in moments of despair, but oddly I feel like we should be proud for it. It makes us become the person we need to be as we grow older. With all said and done, there is no need to feel shame when these emotions become a part of our lives.
