Anxiety

These alarms become noticeable in the form of a raised heartbeat, sweating, and increased sensitivity to surroundings, this in turn causes a rush of adrenalin, a hormone and chemical messenger in the brain, which triggers these anxious reactions in a process called the “fight-or-flight’ response. This prepares humans to physically confront or flee any potential threats to safety.  When we don't discard of these chemicals like animals would do in the wild, these chemicals stay in our body and linger and it keeps the person in a constant state of fear and the body is in constant alert while drip feeding the body with chemicals on a continuous bases.

Trauma

Trauma

Trauma is the experience of severe psychological distress following any life-threatening event. People may develop emotional disturbances such as extreme anxiety, anger, sadness, survivor’s guilt or PTSD. They may experience ongoing problems with sleep or physical pain, encounter turbulence in their personal and professional relationships, and feel a diminished sense of self worth, due to the overwealming amount of stress.

Although the actual event may overpower the coping resources available at the time, there are still healthy ways of coping with the experience and diminishing the effects. Research on trauma identifies several healthy ways of coping, such as avoiding alchohol and drugs, exercising, sleeping and self care amongst others. Therapeutic interventions are also helpful in this regard in order to move beyond previous trauma.

Our nebulous thoughts take shape and become workable ideas when we share them with others and allow our collaborators to lend us the power of their natural gifts. Though we may enjoy musing upon those notions that intrigue us or spark our fancies, there are many instances in life in which we discover we are ill-equipped to take these thoughts further. 

 

When we share our ideas with people who we esteem and respect, they can provide us with valuable input that enables us to see our thoughts in a new way. This shift in perspective gives us the mental flexibility we need as a team to mould and refine our original, imprecise ideas into something more. Talking to others about your thoughts today will help you clarify and purify your ideas.
