Motivational speaker Brian Germaine spoke about transcending fear, as a life goal.  Fear is a response to a high-stress situation perceived as beyond what we can comfortably handle.  It is physiological and psychological in nature.  Evolution has come up with three instinctive individual responses to a dangerous situation. These are fight, flight, and freeze.  We need the ability to stay calm and take appropriate action. Scared people recoil from whatever frightens them. Relax, Focus and Flow is the paradigm for handling our fears. Relaxing gives you the space and time to see what’s happening. Relaxing is also essential because the body and mind are linked, the easiest way to calm down is to slow your breathing. Focus on the situation, not on your fears or doubts. Then it’s time to flow. Flow is being at one with what you’re doing. Being in a flow state is using the right path or response, without wasted effort or focusing on the cause of our fear. Bringing your body and mind in balance becomes the solution to overcoming fear.
