Handling A 'Double Whammy' in FEAR + SADNESS

Handling A 'Double Whammy' in FEAR + SADNESS

FEAR itself I admit I'm afraid to manifest it.  Top it up with SADNESS, then Handling A 'Double Whammy' in FEAR + SADNESS will be seriously in question as far as I'm concerned.  But I learned [NOT so early] in life that indeed it is impossible to think clearly once we are overwhelmed with FEAR.  And that time, my high school teacher did teach us a practical way, that is, try taking TIME OFF for us to physically calm down.  It could even be as simple as distracting yourself from that FEAR for 15 minutes by walking within your perimeter area, preparing coffee or even taking a quick shower📗📘📙

Sometimes when getting into 'panic' mode becomes inevitable, BREATHE THROUGH IT, so to speak.  Let's take a real-life example when you start to get a faster heartbeat or your palms are sweating profusely [way beyond what is normal].  And if you are in the middle of a conflict, will you TAKE THE PLUNGE?  No sirrrrrs, DON'T get embroiled into a fight at that very moment.  Yes, you can feel that 'panic' mode which, to borrow the psychology jargon, it TAKES THE FEAR of FEAR away💊💊💊

Simply put, our practical approach is to help our mind get used to coping with PANIC.  On the other hand, experts have screamed in unison NOT  to avoid FEARS because avoiding FEARS only makes them scarier.  Whatever our FEAR is, once we face it, in a natural kind of evolution, it should start to fade [until you would realize that it seemed to have DISSIPATED IN THIN AIR.  An example is that FEAR of taking the elevator [or lift].  Come next day, do take that elevator [or lift] again.  Trust me, that previous FEAR which seemed like a hard rock, would gradually [or sometimes] so swiftly evaporate with little effort you are unconscious to have to have exerted any, if at all✅✅✅

How about painting 'worst case scenarios'?  In the past, there was an endlessly raging debate whether that should be a DO or a DON'T.  In the end, studies have proven that by imagining the worst case scenarios, while it may NOT be possible or just plausible, by painting the 'worst case scenarios', we will realize that eventually FEAR will 'run away'.  WHY?  And HOW?  The curt answer is thar facing things head-on is the best antidote💎💎💎

And how's the equation when SADNESS creeps in?  That should NOT be a concern because, just like typhoons and cyclones, SADNESS too shall pass.  Obviously, one will go through those phases of SADNESS but that too shall pass.  When it's way past behind us and we manage to handle FEAR [instead of FEAR taking over our life], pat yourself because you're on the precipice of handling a 'DOUBLE WAMMY' when FEAR + SADNESS ❗❗❗
