Fear is a part of everyday life. It is an emotions that can be helpful and harmful to an individual. Instinctually it keeps us aware of danger, such as the "fight or flight" response to keep us away from danger or defend ourselves from danger. To a certain point, fear can also motivate an individual to reach his or her goals. On the other hand, fear is able to immobilize us, and even propel us to do the wrong thing rather than help the situation. Fear is not based on reality, instead it is based on how our interpretation of reality.
I would like to know how an individual can overcome fear. When set out on a task, goal, or mission how does one find the courage to face the things they are up against? Does it take more than just courage? How about inspiration, determination, one's ideals, resilience, focus, etc.? Throughout this semester I will do my best to find and interpret these answers.
The reason for fear being my topic, comes from the fact that I am able to over stress about everything. Because of this stress, I have migraines. I have always had them ever since I was little. To be clear, do not confuse a migraine with a simple headache. I become very sick when I have them, and cannot do anything else except feel pain. I hope that through my research of fear and overcoming it will help me to learn how to stress less.
