All of us have our own phobias. We have fear to something our mind cannot take it any longer. It is a traumatic experience that brought intense fear in our mind even how we tried to control it. This disturbing feeling keep coming back to us. We loses courage to overcome it. Our heart were racing fast and our responses were immediate. It produces adrenalin to the very fabric of our subconscious mind pouring into our bloodstream the energy giving action for flight.
In an incident of fire in your surrounding even if it was quite a distance from your house, seeing the fire started eating the house of your neighbors, you suddenly developed fear. With black smoke at first, then later on the fire was now visible in your eyes. Your reflex reaction told you to act immediately. Your mind quickly respond to the call to secure whatever precious things you have in your house thinking that the fire will become bigger and may expand to other houses nearest your own. Even if the object has a weight more than your own but you lifted it easily without any help. Your adrenalin puts your muscles and feet strong and fast going and returning back again and again until the most important items were move in a distance away from your house. And when the fear subsided, you lose your energy, feel exhausted and tired, wondering why you able to lift a heavier object quickly. The reason is because of the phobia, the fear of the fire.
How will you combat your fear? You can... if you will change the way your mind behavior to think other way around. By not losing your composure and fight against it helps minimize your fear. You have to accept that this disturbing experiences is upon us at all times. It is a natural way of responding to emergency. Our mind has the ability to act immediately without being told. It has an automatic responses instructing the muscles to act quickly.
One way you have to do is to have presence of mind. The fear you have won't kill you. Breath deeply and quickly. It helps control the fear that started building inside you . Use the tighten-relaxed method. Even if you feel very tense, it will be released and help you relax.
If you are caught in a situation in a high building. As the building swayed because of an earthquake, your impulses immediately overtaken you and you become very anxious and wanted to run away blindly.
Running may give you a risk of falling. The best thing you will do is to turn away slowly and find any exit point. It is more secure if you go down by using stairs than using elevators. The chances is that you may possibly stuck up in the elevator shaft and has a hard time finding where to go.
Phobia is a bothering emotion in an unexpected situation. The only weapon against it is for you to remain calm. You composure must be intact. You must have an open mind to think the best way to escape from the present situation when your fear started controlling you.
