What are you more afraid of⁉
All of our biological defense mechanisms in the body are aimed at avoiding death. It would seem that what could be worse than dying. Many associated fears arise when thinking about death, such as:
📍 fear of irreversibility;
📍 fear of hurting loved ones;
📍 fear of loss of sensations;
📍 fear of not being able to do something;
📍 fear of pain when dying;
📍 fear of losing control over oneself;
📍and others.
The good news is that we have a built-in mechanism that allows us to deal with fears: as soon as we understand a "problem", our brain immediately comes up with ways to solve it.
If you are afraid of pain, then you immediately build a list in your head where you can get pain, what it can be, and ideas immediately come to how you can cope with it (find the best doctors, lead a healthy lifestyle, get tested, drink vitamins, revise the sport mode, etc.)
Directly opposite the fear of death is the fear of living:
💫 do what you want;
🧗♀ experience strong emotions;
🤽♀ make mistakes;
🍎 fall in love;
🌊 feel free;
🌈 feel life in all its manifestations.
The fear of living is stronger in structure than the fear of dying.
Why?
💥 in order to feel 100% life, we will always need to leave our comfort zone, which is unnatural to our nature
💥 in order to experience strong long-term emotions, we need to develop our emotional apparatus, which will expand and … feel not only a wider range of positive emotions, but also add a range of negative
💥 in order to realize our dreams, we will need to defend our point of view, disagree with loved ones (if they are not with us for one thing), change the environment when moving forward and sometime feel very lonely on the road to our goal, because sometimes between the villages in the mountains you may not meet anyone on the way …
In addition, the fear of living has many secondary benefits:
📍 You can not take full responsibility for your life and explain the failures by external circumstances
📍 You can stay in a child's role and seek approval, support, protection from stronger figures
📍 You can be in your comfort zone and explore 50 shades of gray instead of exploring all the colors of the rainbow and shades of mood
📍 You can increase anxiety, tension, overprotection - these are the “correct” couples in Eastern European culture, which are supported by generations at the level of meanings.
In conclusion, I would like to leave you with some questions and reflections:
💥 What do you think you are more afraid of: to live 100% or die?
💥 What are your dreams that you have not realized for many years because of the fear that you will not succeed?
💥 When was the last time you experienced unexpected joy on a 10-point on a 10-point scale?
💥 What is your priority in life: predictability or fulfillment of desires?
💥 What can you do today to move towards your dream life?
