Fear is a natural and healthy response to danger. It is something that has helped us survive for centuries. But when the fear becomes intense, it can be debilitating. It can keep you from living your life fully. It can rob you of your ability to enjoy and enjoy. And it can become a serious impediment to success.
Psychological impacts of fear and anxiety in children
Many children suffer from anxiety and fear, and it is important for adults to understand the psychological impacts of these feelings. This post will explore three major impacts: the relationship between anxiety and grades, how fear affects social behaviours, and how fear can effect sleep or mood. If you have a child who suffers from any type of emotional or mental ailment, this article was written with you in mind! We'll start with a short introduction to the nature of what we'll be covering here today...
Modern science has discovered a link between the levels of anxiety in children and their academic performance in school. One study showed that 54% of high school students felt a lack of motivation in class, which resulted from the stress they experienced in trying to keep up with their studies . Their grades usually suffered as a result . There were several factors that caused anxiety in children, including conflicts with friends or family members, financial issues or problems with school work . In his article 'Anxiety and Learning' , Richard Horowitz described how stress can be a factor in learning - stress affects the body's production of hormones, cortisol and adrenaline . Too much cortisol can affect memory and concentration , while too much adrenaline may lead to physical symptoms such as sweating or nausea . Also, tension and stress cause the pupils of a person to dilate . During a regular exam, one's heart rate can increase up to 200 beats per minute , while during a high-pressure exam it can increase to 300 beats per minute . In children, their bodies are not fully developed at this stage, so they may feel even more pressure from these reactions. Some students try to cope with this increased pressure by taking stimulants such as caffeine or cigarettes to calm them down. However, these methods can lead to other problems in the future .
How to control fear, worry, and anxiety
If you are feeling fearful, worried, or anxious-you may not be doing yourself any favors. Fear can cause our heart to race making it hard to breathe. Worry can make us feel overwhelmed. Anxiety causes us to fight or flight-only causing more stress on the body that is already stressed out. For some, fear manifests as panic attacks while others find comfort in worrying about different things until they fall asleep at night only to wake up worrying again! There are ways of coping with fear and anxiety that don't involve using drugs or alcohol which I will outline below. If you are looking for a quick way of overcoming fear, panic attacks, worry etc. There are many techniques for handling fear, and many books written about them as well. But the technique I like best involves using your mind as a weapon. Learn how to use it as such and fear will become your friend...
Let's begin by breaking down what we mean by this: Using You Mind As A Weapon.
We don't mean that you keep a hammer in your head, ready at all times to "batter" anything that may cause you anxiety–and the anxiety itself is the target of these techniques. We don't mean that you get a special mind shield that keeps the bad guys from seeing inside your head. We don't mean that you get a special mind hammer, and use it to pound away at all negative thoughts. We mean that your mind is a weapon. And the only way to make it yield its greatest power is to use it as such.
Most people fail at this, because they try to think their way out of fear in much the same way they try to think their way into anxiety: by doing work and thinking about what they're doing in an attempt to figure out why they're experiencing anxiety and how they can fix it. But when we do this, we're actually finding problems with our emotions. Overcome the fear by keeping yourself busy in some of your hobby, games , readings or living in the beauties that have been blessed.
