At the same time, fear can also paralyze us in our tracks as the mind ruminates and can\u2019t stop. Of course, these days with access to the international connectivity of the internet, we are constantly bombarded with fearful news, which makes it all the more essential that we do everything in our power to bring ourselves back to balance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are three Soaringwords Suggestions based on the latest science from Positive Psychology to help overcome fear.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Breathe<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When you use deep, diaphragmatic breathing from your belly, there are both short- and long-term benefits. Deep breathing can help you lower your blood pressure, decrease your heart rate, and improve lymphatic flow throughout the body, which boosts your immune system in order to protect you from feeling run down or getting sick.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Envision yourself on the other side of the obstacle<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Imagine yourself in the future, and ask yourself: \u201cHow important will whatever is making me anxious be a week or a month from now?\u201d Imagine yourself healthy, strong, and confident. Notice how tension has already decreased in your body. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In her bestselling book, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Susan Jeffers says, \u201cOften fear is a lack of trust in ourselves.\u201d I invite you to think of a time when you persevered through a difficult challenge or obstacle and came out on the other side. Use this example from a time when you were resilient to help you imagine that you are capable and strong right here, right now. Each day, think of examples of times when you pushed  through fear in order to accomplish something that was difficult. Angela Duckworth, the leading expert in the world on resilience defines grunt as a blend of passion and perseverance that may be more important than talent. I&#8217;m reminded of the ancient proverb: Fall down seven times, get up eight times.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m sending you strength and love. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soaringwords is the power to heal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lisa<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; View this post on Instagram &nbsp; A post shared by Soaringwords (@soaringwords) Sometimes fear can be a useful catalyst to inspire us to take action.
