Overcome Anxiety

The Complete Guide

To Overcoming Your Fear or Anxiety

Introduction: 

What is Fear and How does it Effect the Brain?

Fear is one of the most natural and instinctive responses to danger. Fear can be described as a feeling of apprehension, dread, or terror. Fear is a basic emotion that activates the body's fight-or-flight response.

Fear is an evolutionary mechanism designed to protect us from potential threats. It is an emotional response that helps us recognize and avoid dangers in our environment. The amygdala (a part of the brain) plays a key role in fear processing. The amygdala triggers the release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream, which increases heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration rate in order to provide more energy to muscles for running or fighting back against a threat.

Fear also impacts the way that human beings make decisions by limiting the parts of our brain that we can access in order to focus on the task at hand.

It is important to remember that fear is just a feeling, and feelings are not facts. We can't allow ourselves to be ruled by fear because it will only make us feel worse.

The first step in overcoming fear is to identify the cause of your fear. Once you know what's causing your anxiety, you can take the necessary steps to deal with it. For example, if you're afraid of public speaking, then practice public speaking in front of a mirror or video-record yourself and watch the video afterwards.

The second step for overcoming fear is to distract yourself with other activities when you notice that your anxiety levels are getting too high or when you feel an attack coming on.

It is important that you try to distract yourself from your anxiety-provoking thoughts when it starts to feel like an attack is coming on. This can be done by taking a break, using coping statements, and reducing your physical symptoms. 

For example, if you're at work and feeling anxious about a meeting that's coming up, then try taking a break by going for a walk or calling a friend to help calm your nerves.

Top Academic Study tips

Some of the top Academic Study Tips to Finding Which Study Style Fits You for Success in the Long Run

Introduction 

Studying is one of the most important things that students need to do in order to succeed.

The first step for success is to develop a study habit. A study habit can be anything from reading a chapter from your textbook every day, to reading articles and answering questions on Quizlet or Khan Academy before bed.

Another important aspect of studying is picking the right style for you. Learning styles are important when it comes to studying and learning new things. They can help us understand how we learn best and what we need to do in order to improve our skills. Different people learn differently, so it’s important that you find out what style works best for you and then use it consistently throughout your time in college.

The key is to start small and work your way up.

Identify Your Learning Style

One of the most important steps in developing your skills is knowing what type of learner you are. If you know what type of learner you are then you can tailor your study habits to suit that style. Some people are visual learners, some are auditory learners, and some learn by doing. For example, if you're an auditory learner then listen to podcasts while studying instead of reading books or listening to music while working on assignments.

What's your learning style?

Eat well, exercise & get plenty of sleep

Eating well during finals will keep your mind ready to absorb new information.Exercising will help improve your memory by reducing your stress. It increases blood flow to the brain, providing it with more nutrients, which leads to a mood-enhancing effect.

Match Your Learning Activity with the Proper Study Environment

A study environment may be defined as the place in which one engages in a certain activity. The environment can either be natural or artificial. The study environment is important because it can either help or hinder a person's ability to concentrate and focus on their work.

• Studies have shown that there are three types of environments:

1) Arousal-Producing Environment: This type of environment is characterized by stimulation and excitement. These environments involve activities like watching movies, listening to music, playing video games, etc.

2) Arousal-Reducing Environment: This type of environment is characterized by relaxation and calmness. These environments involve activities like reading, meditating, taking a walk in nature, etc.

3) Task-Oriented Environment: This type of environment is a collaboration between man and machine. The human and the computer will each be responsible for certain tasks, but they must work together to complete the ultimate goal.

Which kind of environment you like the most?

Plan ahead and set goals for studying with a timeline.

A goal is a desired outcome, result, or specific action that you want to achieve. It is important to set goals in order to stay focused and motivated while studying. For example, you may want to set goals such as reading two chapters per day or completing your homework by Friday.

Timelines are the periods of time during which events are planned or expected to happen. By setting a timeline, you can make sure that you have enough time for each task and that your work will be completed on time. 

You can also use timelines to track your progress towards achieving your goals so that you know when they have been met.

Your goal should be realistic!
