Fight Or Flight Quotes

1. When threatened, the nervous system sometimes goes into a 'freeze response.' You assess the risk and determine that fight or flight doesn't help you. Staying put does.

2. When a symptom arises, donโ€™t fight with it by asking โ€œare you gonna get worse? Are you connected to a disease or illness?โ€.

This much focus on a particular symptom eats up on the personโ€™s willpower and their ability to engage in whats taking place in the present moment. Start understanding what your body is trying to tell you. Look at what you are suppressing, the fears, the angers, the doubts, the un forgiveness towards yourself and others.

You must be open to taking in those messages, and using them to be able to resolve what your body wants you to resolve.

Stop fighting what you are fighting with on the inside, and begin understanding them.

3. When a symptom or fear arises, how are you talking to your body right now? Do you swim in that helplessness? Do you not show it to others and put up the mask all day long?

You have an inner dialogue with yourself when you have health anxiety. That inner dialogue must change. Make sure to think from your conscious mind, and not replaying the same ideas from yesterday.

4. In the moment when fear takes your attention, and you move towards catastrophic ways of perceiving your symptoms - itโ€™s in that very moment you should change something in your body.

Donโ€™t look to grapple for with your thoughts- โ€œthink positive think positiveโ€ฆ itโ€™s gonna be fine itโ€™s gonna be fineโ€. You will make it worse because you are only adding it to the adrenaline.

What you want to do is make a change in your body. The best thing you can do is slow down. Watch your speed, go neutral. Allow yourself to trust that the symptoms in combination with those intrusive thoughts will lessen in strength over time. You must trust.

A change in your speed, breathing patterns, posture, a change by using more hand gestures, a change in your facial expression. Whatever that change in body is, you need to make one.

5. The more fearful and curious we become about what problem we might have, the more adrenaline is released, making your symptoms and sensations stronger.

People are unaware that their symptoms are nervous (emotional) in origin and follow a well recognized pattern. The pattern of continuous fear and tension is what breeds anxiety and triggers those symptoms.

6. When you are in an alert fight or flight state, you want to do everything fast. You wake up and shower fast, eat fast, and work fast.

If you do the reverse and slow down by breathing deeply through your diaphragm and not rushing things, you are sending a direct signal to your nervous system that this particular situation is not the one to be feared. You train your subconscious by going against the daily ritual of waking up, checking the body for sensations and then doing things in a hurry.

7. How to view your symptoms?

Tell yourself that:

My symptoms are a result of accumulation of sensitivity that is in my body.

My symptoms are related to the inner wounded child that still hasnโ€™t had its needs met.

My symptoms are trying to alert my conscious mind that something in this environment is being connected to something that happened in the previous times of my life.

And therefore these symptoms are trying to protect me.

8. When that initial fearful thought strikes, you go โ€œomg what is this?โ€ and the adrenaline builds up, making the symptoms stronger and making it difficult to stop the cycle.

Every situation of anxiety is an opportunity for you to practice. When that initial fearful thought or a symptom strikes, you can take a new direction and start to notice when your fear starts to decrease. It decreases when you realize itโ€™s happening due to anxiety and you stop the thoughts right away. If the thoughts continue, do not show any respect to them whatsoever. Turn your focus from your inner world to what is happening around you in your outer world.

9. Anxiety is a part of us and extremely important emotion. Anxiety can give you ninja-like advantages when faced with a potential car accident, and the fight or flight kicks it at the right time saving us. That is one awesome benefit to having anxiety.

10. When you are having a panic attack

1. Allow the symptoms and sensations to take place. Let them happen and donโ€™t give them importance or respect that they crave. This will stop any further adrenaline spikes.
2. Distract your focus and get your adrenaline out of the system by walking/jogging. Set a challenge of walking and coming back within a time limit. This will help in focus distraction.
3. Let the storm pass.

Over a period of time, this management of panic attack/anxiety will become habitual.
